Is it normal to hate love?

Mostly.Normal for most people

Yes, it’s normal to feel fed up with love or dislike the idea of romance. Sometimes that comes from past hurt, pressure, or simply not wanting a romantic relationship right now.

You might hate the way love is talked about, feel wary after being hurt, or just not be interested in romance. Lots of people feel that way, and you don’t owe anyone a crush, a relationship, or a big sentimental attitude about love.

It may help to notice whether you mean romance itself, the expectations that come with it, or a particular painful experience. Your feelings can change—or not. If “I hate love” really means you’re feeling lonely or hurt, that deserves a little kindness from you, not a lecture about staying positive.
