Do you hate or love people?

Depends on the day ;)

I sometimes say I hate people when I am feeling frustrated with my interactions with them, but I remember that the main problem isn't with them, it's the anxiety inside of me. There are always going to be *******s out there, but that doesn't mean all people are horrible. I am mostly frustrated with my own social shortcomings. If I was more confident, I wouldn't be as frustrated because I wouldn't let them get to me, and I'd be focusing more on all my positive interactions with others.

When it comes down to it, if I look beyond the anxiety and resulting frustrations, I love people. I love their quirks, the way they (we?) think fascinates me, their motives, the random acts of kindness and compassion. Just wish I had the confidence so I could enjoy this more often.

I walk through Walmart muttering “I hate people”. I don't really feel any animosity towards people in general, though. But I do prefer to be alone most of the time. I figure I'd still be pretty introverted even if I didn't have SAD.

It depends on my mood, but I have found I'm becoming a little more tolerant. Although that could be because I'm trying not to let stupid people ruin my day!

Hate is too strong a word.

Dislike is the right one for me. I'm not liking anybody atm tbh, in my friends or family circles. Some because they bug me and others because I prefer being on my own atm.

The SA doesn't help but meh, not in a great mood atm.

I'm a humanist so imo human beings are the most amazing incredible spectacular things in the entire universe.

however, a lot of them are a-holes, and can be very annoying, so when I'm happy I love people when I'm sad I hate them

Same here. I try not to hate people, but I can't seem to click with many people. And it also depends on my mood too. When people make me feel angry, sad, negative, I have hatred in my heart.

Neither. It's tiresome and profitless to hate people. It also makes you suffer (although I can barely contain my complaining and criticising fits when I notice someone doing something I don't like). But I don't bother to hate people, it's not worth the trouble; I just let them be.
When it comes to love, I have a hard time feeling empathy for people, I just feel unable to muster kind feelings towards another person; it's just too awkward or embarassing. It kind of makes me feel weak or vulnerable...

They hurt me, and I don't want to hurt anymore.

I would like some peace from people, but I don't hate them.

Love. I'm pretty antisocial, but I can't blame them when I'm blasting them with akward vibes.
 
I hate people. People leave children in cars in the summer time, people go nuts and go to schools and movie theaters and murder and maim, people rape women and molest little defenseless kids, people beat their wives and girlfriends, people get in a car drunk and kill others, people hijacked 3 big jet airplanes on September 11, 2001 and killed people by the thousand, people dump medical waste and trash in the oceans and cut down the rain forest, people bully and humiliate other humans, people judge and cause harm and pain to others. I HATE people.

I'd wish to love some people with all my heart. And hate the people I'd love to hate with all my heart.

But I'm so weak I can't let loose neither of these two feelings.

When I hate others it's usually because I'm not feeling too good about myself (self-loathing). And when I feel good about myself I tend to pass that feeling onto others but those are few and far between. If I can learn to love myself then maybe I could make this life of mine more worthwhile than it currently is.

Sometimes I say I hate people when I´m frustrated or pissed, but I don´t think I really hate them. Sometimes it seems everyone is so fake though, that you can´t trust anybody, or that humanity as a whole has a number of characteristics or customs and habits that I don´t like.

There are things I admire on people as well, there is so much in which they are better than me, almost everything. I admire what they can create, how good they can be in their professions or skills etc.
