Tell him again! Some people need to be told things twice :) Yes bad joke i know but it's true. Tell him again. A nice thing you hear can be just disregardet as "politeness" or "a formality" but if you tell him often I think it will work. Adding nice kind deeps whould surely help too.

Try to do something that make your father realize that you loves him. Because action speaks louder than words.

You may show him in deed. Help him out, hug him sometimes. And then tell him again that you don't hate him. Maybe if you can put the love word in the sentence it'll make him know.

In healthy communication in relationships, we are only responsible for our 50% of the communication. If you have communicated your needs and feelings in a healthy way, but your father continues to accuse or project onto you, then perhaps one option is to evaluate other reasons for his behavior, including emotional manipulation. In any event, it is not your responsibility to take on his guilt or take care of his emotions for him.

Try to make him breakfast or offer to help him out more around the house, maybe? :) Or you can make him a handmade gift!

Any number of things could make someone feel disliked. It could be something you did without knowing or something he has done and regrets it. There are a lot of possibilities, the only thing that should be taken away from anyone is do what you think is right.

You could try to figure out why he thinks this - maybe by asking another family member? A good way to communicate is by letter so you could try sending him a kind letter (rather than email) with your thoughts. Eventually, if he still won't listen, it may be time to let go and allow him to find answers in his own time. This is painful but you can't change someone else's mind, only your own attitude towards the situation and how you respond. It may be that some space and distance is the most compassionate way to deal with this, if other methods don't work. If he has is own issues to deal with, then it may not be about you at all, so taking this on can become a burden which is not yours to carry. Good luck.

You can start by compliments him at random times or surprising him with things he like and most of all spent time with him talking about stuff

let your actions tell that you love him, do something special for him to make him happy, always remind him how you`re grateful that he`s your father make him feels how important he is to you.
actions speak louder so you have to drop any attitude that makes him feel hated.
communicate with him a lot that will make him feel wanted and valuable.
Try and spend some quality time with him, doing something you both enjoy. Act genuine so he knows you care. Make him feel valid and tell him that you love him. But try not to make it seem over exaggerated and like your faking it.
