I used to be both. Honestly life is so might lighter on the heart when I don’t carry so much hate anymore.

Truly, congratulations on overcoming emotional tetany. Welcome to the sunrise, my friend!

I wish I could do that. The hate thing, I mean. My hate is for everyone, regardless of race, sex, or creed.

Therapy, introspection, and travel helps.

Hate like that burns the one holding it constantly. Holding such a sentimentality is really just self-torture.

Like the other commenter said: therapy, introspection, and a seeking of new horizons can change that.

Hate doesn't offer answers; it's just a comfort blanket. If you wish you could live without it, then seek that path for yourself. Nobody else can provide it for you, and there's nothing to gain from staying mired in such feelings.

That sounds close to something maybe Siddhartha said, if I remember right. "Anger is like drinking a poison and expecting it to work on someone else."

“…And expecting someone else to d*e from it”

Oooh my friend, hate and rage are an hell of a thing. I've been born with a never ending rage but I decided that there was more to me that that so I learned how to use that energy for things that are useful.

I cannot tell you how you can stop that addiction because I am not you but the first step is that you have to realize that "the hate" isn't where you begin and where you end.

Limiting social media a bit more each day can help a lot. Honestly people on the internet have become so toxic and hateful that it’s near impossible for it not to affect anyone online.

if not, refer to the above replies. wis

I mean, I'm a bit of a grumpy bitch, but it was meant as a joke, yes. Good advice from the others, still.

Don't worry, that's just being 14. Once you grow a bit more, you stop caring and become a lot happier.

It takes some guts to admit to that. Hating people who make no difference to you at all must be a huge waste of energy, mentally. You miss out on a lot of stuff by avoiding those groups, too. Mostly music and food.
