If people hate me that means I must mean something to them and they are likely someone important to me. I would really be concerned about what I did to warrant hate.

So true! If i do something to my niece and she tells me she hates me(which she hasn't since she was 2ys old and now she is 25)that would hurt me cause she is a great person and of course she is family. if someone on here "Chooses" to hate me because of my beliefs or opinions than it would hurt my feelings a little but i'll get over it! "I'd rather be hated for who i am than loved for who i'm not"

I DO care what people think of me, yes. Im not afraid to admit that, either..
As regards CS, I get hurt by insults on here just as much as I do in real life. Perhaps I shouldnt, but I do.
I dont expect to be liked by everyone all the time, and I dont live my life trying to please others all the time either, but I do get upset if someone is nasty toward me; I dont think I would be human if I didnt. Some people say they dont give a fig what people think of them on here; I find that quite hard to believe really, but there you go.
As I say, there will always be some that take irrational dislikes to you, or even rational ones, if they dont agree with your views, but what can you do? But in general, Id hate to think that someone hated me..
I find hatred a very strong expression. How can you possibly hate someone you don't know from Adam? I don't hate, period. I can dislike someone, and if someone says he/she hates me, I take it to be the same, just a strong dislike. Do I care? Yes, in a way I do. I have to ask myself why it is so, what did I do to warrant it. It does help me in a way to improve my own behaviour.

i think u and avecaim are two of the nicest and geniune ladies on here. if someone hates ya'll than it's something wrong with them. i pay close attention to the comments people make on each post. You both are consistant with u'r beliefs and how you respond to others.
It would bother me to know that someone really hated me. But I would then have to ask why? Is it because of something I said or did that made them feel this way.
If someone hates someone without good reason for doing so,then they have the problem. On chat I meet many good people,a lot now my friends,but there are some who won,t chat to me,but I don,t hate them. If others got to know people properly,then they would know if they were good a good person. Think of those who care about you and love you,and ignore those who may think they are better.take care
