Sometimes people can be hateful for no reason. Although it might not make sense, some people aren't as nice as the kinder people imagine them to be. Unfortunately, not everyone possesses a pure heart. Some people may be jealous of you in various aspects. Your achievements, personality, skills, the attention you get…absolutely anything! They respond by being hateful. Unfortunately, it isn't easy to bring another person into a kinder world…you might hurt yourself in the process. Therefore letting it go and accepting that you can't please everyone will be a good choice.

Endless reasons why, but, its best not to put so much weight into what other people say or think of you because in the end what you think of you is the only thing that matters.

When people's self-esteem is threatened, they are more likely to compare themselves to people they think are worse off than them. They tend to see other people as having more negative traits. They degrade people who aren't members of their groups, and they become more directly aggressive towards people in general.

Because they envy all the beautiful qualities you have. They don't want you to be exposes to them because they know it will make you something"more" something they can't have or can't be.

They don't. People might hate you because they are jealous and that is way they show jealousy. It's interesting though, most bullies, bully because they are jealous of there victim.

Sometimes people are afraid of what they don't understand, or they're hateful because of assumptions they've made and ingrained prejudices they have. It's best to avoid these people or, if you can't avoid them (because of a school or work or home environment) then to find positive people to surround yourself with as well. 7 Cups has some great support groups and people to reach out to. It's also worth noting that social anxiety can cause fear and perceptions of people hating you even though they may not - be careful not to try to read people's minds. And if you're school age and being bullied, contact your school administration or your parents to deal with the problem.

I believe nobody can hate someone might dislike the person but the main reason normally is because they are some way jelouse of you, which means you should be able to walk a better path because you don't need to sink down to their level,.

People pick on others because they usually feel insecure about themselves. Don't let them get the best of you everyone is great and will find a friend to tell them that.

People hating you for no reason can be a hard experience, leading to negative thoughts and self-esteem challenges. Researchers have pointed out that social media depression can occur due to criticism or online bullying. When things like blocking bullies and everything else fails, we must not see being hated for no reason in the wrong way. Our close friends can become a solace. It might be worthwhile to reconsider boundaries and planning useful strategies to cope with bullying. Venting to a best friend, and trying to be positive can help us not only move on but build back our confidence. Results of various articles prove that bullying can be quite impactful, so addressing unwanted hatred might also prove useful.

I'm sure that people don't hate someone for no reason. There is always a reason as to why someone hates something/someone else. It may not be prevalent in their mind right away or they may just be hiding them, but there's reasons. Most of the time, though, those reasons are rude or not very good reasons to hate something.

Hate is a very strong word. However, you will come across people in your life that don't respect you for who you are. They have their own problems. You are perfect the way you are, and don't let anybody else tell you otherwise.

Jealousy, envy, they don't love them selves to love others, sad about they are as a person. And sometimes they don't know how to love.

I am sorry to hear you are struggling with this! Sometimes people have a tendency to go with the crowd, and don't really form their own opinions. Try to stay strong and confident because no matter what people think, you are a truly AMAZING person

It is maybe because they are insecure. Insecure with what I have and with what I have achieved in life.

They may be jealous of us. When they don't like us it's because they don't like themselves and they wish they were better than us

A person may think they are being hated when in reality, they are misjudging others' feelings. You need to put yourself in the other person's shoes and see what other feelings might they have for you but do not know how to show them.

Unless 'people' have said that they hate you, i doubt that it really is the case but even if it is the case, there may be other reasons for why they are saying that which have nothing to do with you so be patient and wait for the right time to approach this topic with the people/person who has said this to you.

There are a variety reason why people may dislike you and the majority of them may not be your fault in general. They may just be jealous or they may have a negative image of you, but the thing is who cares what people think you cant change their opinion so continue doing you.

People who do that aren't necessary in your life. Maybe they don't want anything to do with anyone, or maybe they are jealous. We will never know.

People don't really hate you, they are just going through their own problems that make them seem annoyed with you, or they hold some sort of disliking for you or jealousy.

I have experienced this same problem when I was younger and wasn't sure why I didn't have many friends, from my own personal experience I've found these feelings of others hatred are often untrue, feelings of anxiety and depression can often lead to feeling like the world is against you, just remember for every person that dislikes you there are several more that love you

Many people, especially teenagers, can be very judgemental without knowing the person they're judging. It may not be that people hate you, but that they're trying to find where they fit in so they're rude to you.

There is a reason for every action. The hate could stem from something this person wishes they had (perhaps a certain trait, may it be hair colour, or scent, or quirkiness) that you happen to have. Usually it's envy that is conveyed negatively, such that it looks like a personal hatred towards you. If I were you, I'd take it as a compliment; you have something that somebody wants!
