I'm sure that people do not hate you. And if they do, they wouldn't hate you for no reason. Maybe they have a problem with you that they just don't want to confront you about.

People can be very mean, but in reality hate is a strong word. They may dislike you, but they can only say they hate you but I doubt they truly feel hate toward you.

They might not hate you? How do you know this? But If they have said it to your face there is bound to be a reason maybe it's the way you come off to people?

Because they are either jealous of you, hate themselves for not being like you or feel threatened by you. It's okay to receive hate, you can't please everyone in the world, that's impossible. Don't mind people who hate you, they are on a lower level than you, so, don't let them get to you!!
Stay awesome!

Are you sure they hate you? Maybe they are just jealous of you. Remember you are amazing and special and what other people think about you isn't the most important thing. What's more important is what you think of yourself, so love yourself and the haters hate!

It could be that they just don't like your personality therefore decide to hate you. Some people may do it just to maje themselves feel better but it doesn't mean that there's anything wrong with you.

Well, that's sort of a self-answering question, isn't it? If there's no reason, there's no reason. However, there may be a reason only apparent to them. Most likely you affect their social milieu in a way that they don't like. Maybe they envy you for who you are or for the time you spend with their friends. Maybe they don't like your beliefs and how you influence people around them by living those beliefs. Or maybe they're just angry at you for doing something they dislike. There's a lot more possible reasons - when in doubt, just ask the respective person about it. I'm serious. Just talk to them in confidence - "I've been noticing some tension between us lately, which is sad because I hold nothing against you. Is there anything you want to tell me?". You'd be surprised how useful that can be. Oh, and make sure that if they open up to you, you stay calm, try to understand them, avoid overhasty judgement and thank them for sharing their thoughts with you.

There's always a reason. The reason may not be clear but wait a few months or even years and you'll realise. It maybe a simple as you said something they didn't like once or it may just be jealousy, but there is ALWAYS a reason

For one your perception could be skewed. Are you finding that they either love or hate you?
If they really do hate you there could be many reasons that have nothing to do with you. People tend to hate people who either display a similar trait they hate about themselves or just because you are different.
You are you and you're okay that way.
