Research has found that people form stronger bonds when they share the same hatred for someone else, some other group, something else.-scienceofpeople.com. If a person is struggling within themselves, for example, low self-esteem, relationship conflicts, etc., “it feels much better to funnel your negative energy into blaming someone else” than to confront your own problems.”…”people join hate groups because it allows them to funnel the blame for all of their problems into another group of people while being supported by a group of people who share their beliefs and makes them feel, they belong.”…”Hatred also surfaces when people are highly insecure.” They’ll compare themselves to others, and if the other person seems better than them, people may speak out against that person and project their anxiety onto them.- scienceofpeople.com.
Although sharing and bonding through hate, it’s not a good tactic to make friends, “because its risks far outweigh any good that comes from it.”-scienceofpeople.com.
“Hatred is an emotion. Extreme hatred can inspire violence….It is normal to have hateful feelings occasionally. However, feeling hatred over a long time and holding onto hate, can be detrimental to the mind and body.”…”Hate can breed more negative emotions. It can affect personal and professional relationships. Hatred changes the chemistry in the brain. Hate also triggers the mind to try to predict what the person being hated may do as a defense mechanism. This leads to further anxiety, restlessness, obsessive thinking and paranoia, which affects overall mental health…Hatred negatively impacts the nervous system and endocrine system. Extreme emotions trigger the release of stress hormones in the brain over time; these stress hormones lead to increased inflammation throughout the body, resulting in significant health consequences. …”The more intense an emotion becomes, the more physically demanding it is to contain. Holding onto hate can be exhausting. It can cause involuntary clenching of the jaw, grinding the teeth and tensing of the muscles.”- medicinenet.com.
“The opposite of hate is often considered love, but this is not true. Opposite of hate is mental and emotional detachment. Hatred creates an attachment to the thing or person hated the most. Hatred is an intense repulsion. Hatred falsely inflates the ego and makes one feel very superior and self-righteous against the thing or person who is hated, which only results in more pain.”-medicinenet.com.
On Larry King Now, on 1/23/19, Larry King asks Sociologist Peter Simi: “Is hate an addiction?” Peter Simi: “There are qualities of hate that at least overlap or at least run parallel” to an addiction.-Ora.tv.
Conclusion: Aside from hate being an ego trip, a bonding with people of similar thoughts, there’s no positive results for a person consumed by hate, unless the ultimate intention is to round up the troops and become violent. Hate affects a person socially, mentally, physically and can be a process to learn how not to hate, and become what is considered a person of normal behavior. / Done
