Anybody who's anybody replied to my hatred thread.

That's all well and good. I read through every reply (some that I agreed with and others I didn't), but that wasn't the point. The point was to get everyone to SPELL OUT WHAT THEY HATE.

Go back and read your post. That's sheer, honest hatred of something. Some of you gave excuses, that's fine. Some of you just jotted down the things you abhor, that's even better.

The first step is always the easiest though. You've got the problem. Everyone who has read that thread knows your problem. I know your problem. Now it's time to address it.

Feel free to speak hypothetically or not. How would you go about addressing, fixing, or solving the problems in your life. These are most likely the things that you hate. Sometimes, although you spelled each hated item out in black and white, it's harder than you think.

Maybe the problem isn't the thing you hate. Maybe the problem is you. Maybe the problem is your parents, your dog, your little sister, or your peers. Let's be honest here, you hate things for a reason. I honestly don't give a flippin' ******** what that reason is.

I'm just hell-bent on fixing myself. Maybe if by fixing myself infront of everyone else, I'll end up fixing everyone else too.

I hate people that blame their problems on everyone else. They go through life never taking responsibility for what they do and say. Ultimately, these people generally end up in dead-end jobs that require absolutely nilch for people skills, and because of their own blindness when it comes to the circumstances and feelings other others, they take pleasure in putting others down in order to muffle their own insecurities.

I hate these people because I can see myself turning into one of them. You ever heard that saying that goes something like "You end up becoming the things you hate the most"?

Well that's me.

I b***h and moan all day about others when it's me, myself, that I'm angry at. I'll spare myself the reasons and get right onto the solution.

Bottom line, I've got to stop. How? By honestly taking into consideration the feelings of others. I need to learn to take a step back and take in the big picture. If my trip to Japan has taught me anything, it's that the world is a lot bigger than I ever imagined.

So big, in fact, that there's absolutely no way that I'm going to be able to fix it.

It saddens me. That's true. I can do something about it though. I can try to change myself, and, even if I fail in being an example for others, atleast I can say without hesitation that I gave it a good shot.

I love my girlfriend, Shaleigh. I love my best friends, Scott, Ben, and Eric. I love Shaleigh's friends, and I love my family. I just haven't been acting like it.

I've been a big douche, everybody, and I'm sorry.

If I could change what I hated, I'd be God. People have to change themselves. And I don't think I could muster up the strength, finances or motivation to teach everyone in town how to drive and not be idiots behind the wheel. You just gave me a place to vent. I'm over it now. wink

Maybe I could take some Prozac everytime I plan on driving. lol

It's okay, I figured you didn't realize you were actually hurting people's feelings when you yelled at them or something. I didn't take it personally hennyvay. 3nodding heart

This is why I want to be in a position of power in the city/state/country. I want to run for City Councel so maybe I CAN do something about everything I dislike about where I live. Makes sense right?

Teenagers. (not including myself)
...Simple enough.

Also, I do not like teenagers who feel that they need to cuss in every sentence that they use, it's pathetic.

Plus, I hate democrats. *Shrugs* That's all.


This is what I posted in the "I hate you" thread. (Obviously)

Teenagers: Be more understanding and less judgemental towards other people.

Cussing: Not that I don't do it myself, I just can't stand people who have to cuss in every sentence they use. So I can either ask them to stop, or distance myself away from people like that.

Democrats: Kill them all. 3nodding Kidding, kidding. Like before, be more understanding to their side. ( I already am, there are certain democrats I can't stand because of the way they present their sides and themselves. But I have a lot of friends who are democratic and we get along fine.)
