what does HATE mean?? Options

[sweetjuice]

when people say they hate someone, i dont think they know how big of a word it is. when i tell someone i hate them, i feel weird after words, especially when i say it to family members. i think hating someone is just crazy . my mom told me she hated me once, and i went into my room and just broke down into tears.

When I say I hate someone, I really do mean it. When I said I hated my sister, I did not regret one syllable and actually felt good not in a sadistic way but good in a way that I finally told her how I feel after all these years. But I don't like saying hate on people who I really don't mean it to. Sure, hate is a strong word, but just because it hurts someone doesn't give people a right to tell them not to use the word hate because that'll be like lying to your feelings (unless the person doesn't mean it). Generally I would say, "Don't say hate unless you really mean it." I don't know how to tell if a person really means it. But there are certain points in their life where someone actually and really does hate someone. If I hate someone, I hate them, no one can tell me what to feel. I know it hurts people to say that but honestly, I only say "hate" to the people who ALSO hurt me severely emotionally and physically. Make long story short, hate is something stronger than dislike that is inside everyone's hearts. It doesn't matter how innocent they are, I'm sure they hate something or SOMEONE.
