That which we Fear in ourselves.

No. I think it is more like we hate most in others what we do not see in ourselves.

Sometimes yes. And sometimes we hate in others the things we have trouble with being ourselves. We wish we could be more like a person, it seems easy for them, and when we can't, we despise them. Kind of like how Snape hated Harry and his dad. He wanted to be more like them to attract Lily. But he was who he was and instead of try to change, he hated them.

I'm seeing it the other way I guess. I see the eyes of envy from those who fail to comply themselves with the attributes of others;..Trying hard to picture others in the same frame where they are... Seeking themselves in the very essence of those they find different from them. At times they even lose themselves in the obsession of becoming who they long to be... but never were.
Seeing me in another self wouldn't make me hate the person. I'd be having that opportunity instead to understand myself better as I would have the chance to see both my strength and weaknesses so well portrayed -- in another soul.

Almost. We hate most in others what we have in ourselves but do not know it.

I don't hate, period. Maybe hate is too stronger word for what you are trying to ask. Humans have always been competitive, perhaps what we see in another that we dislike in our own makeup is simply a mirror; we try not to be like that person, their behaviour, language etc. In other words; be yourself, there is no one in the world like you, you are unique. It is too easy to come DOWN to others level that you dislike, it is a lot harder to rise above that type of behaviour and respect yourself.

Hate is such a strong word. I'm not good with hatred. I don't do that anymore.
Recognition of a characteristic in others that you dislike is a reasonable step in the process of self assessment. Hatred is too harsh, mate. It's just not a balanced emotion and it spoils other emotions with it's overpowering flavour.
I hope these thoughts are somehow useful, mate.

some people do. i have, i try not to be a hipocrit though by correcting myself, that which i dislike in others i try not to do myself. i know two people who act almost exactly the same, and they hate each other with a passion, so some people do, i know that for a fact.

Well, that's what Psychologists say. But what it's really saying is that we never see ourselves.

Many people are like that and it's easy to point out one, like when one criticize a person but you can see that the one talking is also like what he is criticizing. Since I'm comfortable with myself, I am sure I am not like that.

We are all reflections of each another, therefore what I see in you, I may also see in me. It is our awareness of mind which decides that which we love and that which we hate.
If we recognize ourselves in another, then that is progress.
When we see all within all, then that is conscious evolution.
