Why are people so hateful?

Question

Why do their inner selves thrive on hatred and wish to hurt you any way they can?

Answer 1

They really hate themselves. By projecting hate on everyone else, they are able to take the focus off their own nastiness.

Answer 2

I wish I knew the answer to this myself. It seems as if almost everyone is in such a hurry and is so materialistic that people simply disregard the feelings of others. If you accidentally pull out in front of someone, more than likely they will curse at you or flip you off. Do they stop and think of the number of times THEY have pulled out in front of someone? You inconveninced that person, therefore they are justified in treating another human like dirt. I sometimes hate the world we live in today. I want to go back to the 60's and 70's, when I was a kid in Texas. Neighbors actually got together with each other and knew each other, went to each others houses and looked out for each other. Now alot of people dont even know their neighbors and they barely even speak. It is sad. I REFUSE to live my life full of hate. If I do not like someone, I simply avoid that person. And if I dont like someone it is because they did something to me, not because of race or religion or they have a better car than me.

Answer 3

Sometimes when people hurt by being hateful it could be cause of lots of reasons. One can become this way when hurt by others when they are not to blame. One could be ill and has no other way to overcome his illness. Jealousy is another reason why people hate for no reason. Another reason the hater wants what another has, when he don't have it and last but least a hater sometimes hate himself and others for lack of understanding his existence in this world.

Answer 4

I'm not sure why people are so hateful I think maybe its because to the World that we're living in. I mean people are only concerned about self and truly struggling to stay afloat. I think deep down inside no one truly wants to be viewed as hateful but thats just the way they come across.

However, no matter how many hateful you come across don't let them change who you are.

Answer 5

People who are hateful doesnt know who jesus is.They are evil, They have satan embracing them and he is laughing at them because he is only using them,they do not know what love means, they gravitate towards the negative than the positive. I can refer this book by Joyce Meyer "Battlefield of the Mind". No matter what hateful things people try to perpetuate towards you, never let them even think for two seconds that they have won. They can try to break you down, try to do you evil, but they will never succeed. I have had that in my life, but i always win in the end. You have to fight back but do it with love and prayer. Pray for them god will answer you, it may not be today or next week, but he listens. Be strong and have faith!!

Answer 6

I think a lot of them have miserable little lives, and they've also been raised in ignorance and taught to hate anyone/anything that's different.
I think it makes some of them feel "superior" in the sick little minds to come here and pass judgment on others.
and I think they also know that they can rant all they want here, but if they did it to someone's face, they'd get their @sses whooped!

Answer 7

just shut up!

No wait, people are really pretty nice when you get to know them, but we are all just thrown together in the wal-mart of society and people are basically scared, what they are trying to do is show dominance in the situation before you get it. And the squeaky wheel gets the grease.

Answer 8

So people with small souls try to make themselves bigger by tearing down someone else. It's very sad really.

Answer 9

They have low self-esteems. They hurt other people because they themselves are hurting. They just don't recognize it.

It's a shame really.

Answer 10

Some are in pain and lash out at others to ease that pain. Others I just do not understand.
