Can hating a person hurt them?

Yes and no.  In my opinion if they don't know that you hate them the only person that gets hurt is you.  If they somehow find out, then they it may hurt them, especially if they care about you.

yes sometimes\nbut when i think back that person really didn't deserve so much hate or attention from me. \ni guess often we feel like such when we personally feel insulted or hurt, but i guess its okay to think about it a little to vent it off and NOT do anything on it.

Yes for most people. Giving someone else a second chance also says a lot about yourself. Some things simply cannot be forgiven, but they tend to be things of a violent nature. Try to forgive and forget when posible.

You shouldn't, but I get what you mean, I feel bad when another person hurts someone else's feelings.

Many people mistakenly think that hate is the opposite of love.  \n\nIndifference is the opposite of love.  If you are indifferent towards someone that means that you do not care.\n\nIf you hate someone that means that you care enough to have any feeling at all toward that person other than indifference.\n\nPersonnaly, I think that love is the strongest feeling known to mankind.  So... no, you can't hate someone more than you can love someone.

That is an interesting question.\nI think that it is directly related to love, but not a form of love.\nI think about it this way: Hating someone takes so much time and energy that I cannot imagine putting that much effort toward someone I didn't care deeply for or even love. The average person who bugs me just isn't worth that much effort from me. \nI think that hate is the only emotion stronger than love, but that you can only truly and passionately hate someone that you love. (Romantically or Familially)\nLoathing someone is different. To loathe someone you don't have to love them, it's a bit more mild than actual hatred.

This, of course, is one of those nasty things you think about but never do. It really depends on the person. Generally, whatever would humiliate them the most or cause their reputation to change for the worse.

Just think how YOU would feel if it was being done to you.  Hate begets hate.  Hate is easy, love takes courage.

Well, if he hates you because someone told him to hate you, then he's not worth your time anyways.  Move on to someone else.  If you keep thinking about him, you'll just end up hurt.

Hate comes from being hurt, turning into anger, having it sooo long that it becomes hate.  It's an emotion you feel when you cannot control, or even help a situation. Hate ususally starts with pain.   Should you hate your father?, to me...you should feel sorry for him, because apparantly he is living what he has learned as a child.  Years ago...we did not have the system that we have today, to help abused children, whether it is/was physical, or emotional, .Love your Father sweetie, Try to learn from his mistakes, and break the chain effect cycle that can and has went on for many generations.

Indifference is worse than hate.  When you hate someone, there is still a surge of emotions but it's just swinging towards the other end of the spectrum (the other end being love).  When you're indifferent, you psychologically kill the person because you couldn't care less what that person does to you.  This is why being given the cold shoulder hurts so much because the other person doesn't acknowledge your presence.

People are scared of things they don't understand, and "Hate" is the result.\n\nIf you or something you like is being hated, it is never the fault of the person or thing being hated... it is the fault of the person who is DOING the hating. THEY are uncomfortable.\n\nYou can apply this to anything in your life... music, people, lifestyles etc.

I wouldn't hate someone just because someone expected me to. If someone expected me to hate someone or they wouldn't like me then they probably are not worth hanging around anyway. I'd also suggest they get a grip on reality.

This is an interesting question in light of the laws that punish some people more severely than others because of their opinion, even when committing exactly the same act. I am referring to "Hate Crime" laws that enhance a criminal offense because of the person's opinion/rationale for committing the crime. So, if one person kills another person because he hates that person’s ethnicity or religious views then he will receive a harsher punishment than another guy who kills without hate, simply because he enjoys killing. The point is, you may be entitled to your own opinion, but you will be punished for your thoughts and NOT just the act.

When you hurt the one that you love, emotions are highly involved on both sides.  Both you and the person you are hurting will be affected in one way or another, and like all similar situations, there will be serious consequences to follow.  When dealing with a stranger, however, there is no history and/or very little (if any) emotions involved at all.  Sure you may insult a stranger in one situation, and anger may ensue on one or both sides because of your actions.  Nevertheless, for the most part, they will not carry that with them for the rest of their life (and perhaps not even the rest of the day for that matter).
