    Same. There's this one fucker who I just want to strangle, and I find it really irritating that I am constantly reminded of him. Ugh!

    Yes I think its normal but its unfortunate. I was obsessed with this awful woman for a while she was so horrible I just wanted to get back at her but you end up harming your own mind more than them(they probably don't know or care ). Just...try to let it go.

    I know how you feel. There's this one douche that bothers me so much, and weighs on my mind constantly. He's always trying to tear me down. Always picking at me. Pick, pick, pick. I hate people like that. I'm not perfect. It drives me crazy!

    But think about it, what good are you doing for yourself by worrying and spending your time hating these people? After a while, the stress caused by your worrying and negative thinking of these people, will only bring wrinkles. And its going to take you away from enjoying your own happiness.

    I do this to and hate it. Distraction helps or sorting it out but sometimes it's just time to calm down. They say the only person who hates hurts tho and that's so true. U give them the power over u by them being ur focus.

    Hate only destroys the hater, in the end. Also, if you're obsessing about this, you probably have other obsessions you need to control.

  • Hatred is an obsession, just like love, but with the opposite emotions attached. Its a waste of energy and focus.

    It's totally normal and totally infuriating. Hate, like love, is such a strong emotion that it can leave you preoccupied.

    Yeah, everyone tells you that hating someone is just a waste of energy and time, blah blah blah, but it's practically impossible to derail your mind from the hate train. If you can get away from the person, do so. If you can't, find ways to distract yourself. Eventually, the vitriolic thoughts do lessen and leave room for thinking about happier things.

    I hate hating people. It really ruins your fucking life at times. I don't like hating people but I feel like some people just WANT me to hate them.
