Is it normal to hate people ?

Question

Just people in general, not a certain person.

I feel like i cant trust people anymore... with the exception of 4 or 5 people.

Is it normal to not like being around people (except a select few) ?

Answer 1

Not really....I would call it dislike..
I was that way.. due to my own iniquities....I was missing out on alot by feeling this way...and trust is hard but also a growth toward maturity and great relationships. Fear can eat away at you and that's what was happening to me.. We all get hurt... Don't let fear control you....that's what I kept telling myself..
One thing that helped me is when you meet some one, do you like their character..If not, don't hate them yet I wouldn't choose them to be close to.. If you like their character, take it slow, and always remember that people are not perfect and they will make mistakes, just as you do...And when/if they have given you a reason not to trust them, talk to them, are they sincere when apologizing? If yes, learn to forgive..........

Yes it is normal. Let me tell you a secret. When I was born I was adopted and then 7 yrs later I was fostered and then 9 yrs later I was sent back to my adopted mother. After a year I was 16 and left to manage on my own. This series of events led me to mistrust everyone and become almost paranoid. Now I have a gf and a daughter. Apart from my daughter I distrust and dislike everyone. Like you I need to be on my own most of the time and do things alone. Sometimes I ride my cycle or come on the web where interacting with people is via an electronic medium.
Normality is only gauged by how much of the population do things.if you are happy to be on your own as long as you are not hurting anyone. Then it is normal.

This is a very complex question. I think you first need to separate certain characteristics that people have to be separate from the person itself. I think everyone has something good to offer, but perhaps you are focusing on their bad characteristics or just the ones that are important to you. We are all "human", so we all have faults. One might have a low tolerance for these faults that could be caused by unrealistic expectations in specific areas. If you trust and like a few people, I think you are normal!! But I also think that you are equating trust with like. My opinion is this -The main thing is that you have a productive, positive life and that you are happy with yourself and the few people that surround you. I also think that "time alone" is under rated and that if you are comfortable in your own skin, it is not lonely at all!

Yes it's normal, it sometimes has a correlation with what you have been through in your ast. I don't know a good example but for instance Tupac Shakur, as soon as he got out of jail is mind frame was Trust Nobody, he even tattooed it on his arm. It all has to do with what you have been through. If nothing big has happened to you that makes you hate and not trust people, it's just who you are and your personalty, but if it crosses the line, you might want to talk with someone about it.

Answer 5

It is normal not to want to be around a lot of people. I feel the same way. However, it is not normal to "hate" people for no apparent reason. Maybe you just hate being around people. That, I understand. Be very careful with the word "hate". It is very destructive to you and to others. You might want to try "dislike" or "despise". Hating causes too much inner turmoil. Trust me, I know. Best wishes to you, Ashieness.

i believe that we are to hate the wrong that people do but not the people. Wh en we hate other people it hurts us and we develop negative thoughts that destroy character, as people we want to build each other up.i believe that as long as we live we will as people view what we dont like as well as what we do, and also concerning all the bad things that people may do to us , if we hate them we continue the hate process they are already caught up in,but we can counteract these negative responces with love. Thats what the book of romans is saying-- 12th chapter:17-21.Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Its true that its difficult to trust people if they have done wrong to you, lied about you to your friends etc. Thats a different thing if your trust in a friend has been violated, its up to them to regain your trust. I believe that your talking about having a few close friends ,yes i think its normal. thank you, bob L.

Answer 7

Thanks for the help on the other question. Is it normal to hate? What is hate? A feeling. Are feelings normal? Of course, i sometimes hate people in general because of the dumbassities(word i made up), and how ignorant and selfish they can be, also how much people my age(I'm 15) Value material wealth. So yea, its normal. I also can only trust a few friends, and i only like people who accept me for who i am.

Answer 8

I am like u i trust no body expect for a few and have only 1 friend that i really want to hang out with! I think its normal i mean its not wrong ! I say if it makes you happy then continue on!

Answer 9

hell yes it's ok to dislike people. I think it's your right not to like some people esp. if they don't see things your way... lol. People basically suck. The way I see it, people are not generally "good" and just occasionally do the "bad" things. I think people are generally "bad" and they just try to be "good". Also, in my experience, most people do not take responsiblity for themselves or their own actions... it's always someone else's fault but their's. And very seldom do people do the right thing or live up to their word. I say don't trust anybody at first until they've earned it.

Answer 10

i understand what you mean about not trusting people i have very few i trust to but what i was always taught is to hate someone means that if you saw them drowning you would not save them wich i think i would have to save anyone i saw drowning so instead of saying hate i say i dislike or dont care for that person and it is normal to have very few close friends cause you know you can always count on them and if they are the very few you like being around then that most mean you can really trust them and its good to always have that
