Is it normal to hate people?
It’s normal to feel like you hate people sometimes, especially when you’re hurt, angry, or worn out. Feeling that way doesn’t mean you have to act on it, but if it’s constant or making life harder, it may be worth looking at what’s behind it.
A lot of people have an “I hate everyone” phase—or at least a very convincing afternoon of one. Stress, disappointment, feeling rejected, or simply needing space can make other people seem unbearable for a while. The feeling itself doesn’t make you a bad person; what matters is how you treat people.
If the hatred feels constant, is aimed at everyone, or is getting in the way of relationships and daily life, it may be a sign that something underneath it needs attention. You might start by noticing when it flares up and what tends to set it off.
