Hatred

Hatred is a strong adverse emotional reaction to certain people, things, or ideas, usually associated with opposition or aversion to something. Hatred is frequently associated with intense feelings of rage, contempt, and disgust. Hatred is sometimes regarded as the polar opposite of love.

What are the causes of Hatred?

• Envy or desire what the other person has. They might think it's unfair that someone else has what they don't.
• Have contempt for another person or consider them inferior.
• Parents, their community, or other social groups teach them hatred.
• Another person humiliates or mistreats you.

If someone despises you because they believe you have wronged them, you may want to reach out to them. You may want to talk about their feelings, apologize, or clarify the situation. This may be useful when someone is simply angry with you, but when it comes to hatred, it may be difficult to have a rational conversation with the other person.
