Overwhelming hatred.

These days I am finding that I can take a dislike to a person for some reason but it starts to develops into hatred really easily, and I mean real pure hatred.
During my life I've always been quiet, a little shy, known for being very placid even, but I'm finding nowadays I'm getting really angry very quickly

I don't know what is causing this. Is it because I'm getting older and becoming a grumpy old man, or is something wrong with me personally. Is it my physical health problems or my mental health, as some on here may remember me talking about the problems I've had.
I admit I am feeling totally frustrated about how things are in the world and I'm struggling with being powerless to do anything about it and thats bothering me. I admit I'm lonely sometimes and isolated but at the moment I am not able do anything about that.

I don't just hate these people but loathe them with a burning passion. I've just had a look at some programs available on iPlayer seen someone who I really despise and had to quickly move the page so I cannot see his stupid face, as looking at it longer will only get me even more annoyed. This person I seen him many times before but now it feels as if I've hated him all my life.
Mostly these people haven't done anything to me personally apart from existing in the world and being who and what they are.

I'm not at the stage of shouting and swearing at strangers in the street yet and unless I'm losing my marbles entirely have no intention of saying how I feel directly to anyone as I've never done that in my life.
Does anyone else feel like this? Or is it just me.



Also should the list of people I want to kill be kept in date order or alphabetically 😀

You need help, and the sooner the better, before you do someone harm.

Re: Overwhelming hatred.

I don't think I've ever actually hated anyone on my life, I'd worry if I felt like that about normal everyday situations.

Re: Overwhelming hatred.

I am no expert but I suspect this hatred is caused by an underlying feeling, so I would speak to your doctor.
It could be an anxiety problem, resentment of the people or maybe just the fact that you are lonely... but it is better to get some help before it becomes any worse.
Being lonely is worse than any illness, because you have nobody to talk things through with. If that is the problem I hope this forum can help in some way.

Re: Overwhelming hatred.

Hatred is a strong word. Intense Dislike sounds a little better.

No matter what you call it, not an emotion that helps your own well being.

Have you talked to your doctor, maybe anti depressants or another course of action? Sounds as if you need more help than we can offer here.

Re: Overwhelming hatred.

I dont hate people, there are many I dislike, despise even, but think hatred is too strong a word. If there is someone, something I truly dislike, then I just avoid them/it totally.

Hatred is very destructive, as evidenced in today's world. I am a Brexit Remainer, but I certainly have no hatred for those with opposing views.

Re: Overwhelming hatred.

A very worrying post .
Is it brave or foolish to admit those kind of feelings ?
I think brave but should be spoken about to your doctor ASAP.

Re: Overwhelming hatred.

Could be down to age or medication. But if it's recent then could also be an indication of physical changes in the brain. So you should get checked out just in case. Or it may be that you have been under a great deal of stress and not giving enough kindness to yourself. It's important to not direct such feelings inwards.

Re: Overwhelming hatred.

Well done for posting MC, it's not easy to do that. I wonder if something or things happened in you past to leave you feeling like this. You say you were always a quiet person, shy in fact, so you probably never expressed your feelings at the time which makes you angry now. If only you could go back in time and say what you should have said or punch who you should have punched.

Am I getting close?

Not a sensible suggestion!
