First you realize that its a waste of your time and energy. Then you realize that the hatred isn't affecting the people you hate at all. The only person who is suffering from it is you, so you are basically letting the people you hate make your life even more miserable. Next you realize that by hating people, you are letting them control what and how you think and behave. Finally you come to the conclusion that hating people is a waste of time and you have better things to do than waste your time thinking about people who you hate. Life is too short. Start enjoying your life and make sure that you aren't acting the same way as the people you hate. My dad always said you can learn something from everyone...even if it is how NOT to act.

You start by stop hating yourself. When a person can love themself fully without judging, then they have the capacity to love others.
Those who hate a particular thing is just hating what is inside them that is the same.
So if you do love all about you, then you can stop any kneejerk reaction and just love anyone for who they are at any moment.
Just about everyone has had somehard times and this can just be a wound that will heal if we love each other just as we all are.

Think about why you hate that person. Is it because of something you can change? Do so and make things better for both you and the recipient of your hatred. Is it because of something the person has no power over, like skin color or their economic status? If so, ignore it and focus more on who the person is, not what they look like or what their situation is. If it is something someone has done or is doing to you, either try to talk to them about it or try to forgive them to bring yourself a better peace of mind. Although I do not believe that Jesus was a god, I do believe that the life style he supported is a good one to follow. Hope this helps.

Try to think of a time when someone had good reason to reject you and didn't. Then try to offer that same grace to the person that you're struggling not to hate.
This solution actually snuck up on me. I had a colleague whom I detested so thoroughly that just hearing her name was enough to spike my blood pressure. One day I looked at her and thought "I have a choice--whether or not to extend to her the grace that I've received." We never became friends, but I was able to be pleasant to her, and I was never angry with her again.

Pray. Anytime that person or people come to your thought pray. Allow your self time to also not care of what some people do or say. Its hard and it takes time and there is always going to be someone that can push them buttons right. Keep praying. I find it the best in time of troubles.

People you hate are your “projections” from yourself that you don’t like. You don’t like them because you have no acceptance of a part of yourself you reject. Feel what you hate about yourself & the hated (same thing). Loving feeling is accepting which is loving which is healing/forgiving. All the Best...

You should put yourself in their shoes and ask yourself how you would feel if others hated you and why. then you forgive that person no matter the reason you hate them. if you can't then you should check yourself and ask why you are not a forgiving perosn. Don't forget, God can't forgive you if you can not forgive others. you always have help from Jesus, cuz he gives strength and patiants. Good Luck
