My mother told me to never hate anyone. If I used the phrase, " I hate so and so", she would admonish me and tell me, “You don’t hate them”, you just don’t like them or what they’re doing". I’m a better person for not hating anyone. ( I used the word hate in a thread the other day but the problem went away).

That is such a precious advice from your mother. We use that word so oftenly that we don’t even notice when it starts to shape our mind.
Now I see from where your generosity has grew.

You know, the first Bush President jumped in popularity when he said he hated broccoli.

Unfortunately I hate myself rather intensely. At times I don’t. I have clear moments when I see or hear others like me.
It’s something I am working with my therapist on. I’m also taking some time to myself to try to get some introspection, which is hard for me, being an extrovert.
I really look to the people on here and how I am know on here as evidence that I am not supposed to hate myself.
My gut reaction to my pain is hate. I find the source of the pain and hate it enough to destroy it. It’s my own brain. This is a serious problem.

i feel a lot of hate still. and i hate myse;f sometimes too… my mom says that i should be ashamed of myself. but its not easy when your ex is saying that he would sleep with your sz friend :/…
Just curious…why?
because yesterday i saw my sz friend who is doing well… she works, have boyfriends. me i am in the vicious circle since 15 years… i am fed up by it…plus the fact that i am stuck with the idea of my ex who told me that he would sleep with her. nothing new under the sun i guess but its a pain for me…
i’ll keep fighting sarad. i was pissed off today, my zyprexa gives me a little bit of energy too, agitation. its aimed so i guess, to get you out of this state of shock probably… but i told my mom today that i hate evrybody after she told me that i am castrated in feelings like my father’s family because i cant feel compassion for the victims in paris right now… i felt fine after expressing this hate… but i am still a mess but i feel alive not sedated which is a good thing probably 
I got this couple of times from my mother.
" You are just like your father…"
So, she is basically projecting her anger onto you because of her own inability to deal with things…
Don’t listen to her because she needs therapy as well.
That is the way it is for me. When I was growing up I think I got the message that if you punish yourself enough no one else will punish you. There is a difference between being hard on yourself and punishing yourself. I hate myself intensely at times too. Self hate doesn’t redeem you. You’re not a better person for hating yourself.

Ah, but broccoli is a vegetable. Hating a plant or an inanimate object is different than hating a fellow human being.
