Why do people hide love and express hatred so openly?

Question

Darkfairie17 · Accepted Answer

I think because when someone expresses love and affection it's seen as a sign of weakness. Whereas expressing anger and hatred is seen as a strength. Even thought both are just emotions, and part of the human experience.

That's why we often see people who are caring and kind as being weak, and aggressive individuals as being strong. When in fact you can be a strong individual to show caring and kindness and anger can be shown in weakness.

It's easier to hate something than to love another thing.

Because it's human nature to take advantage of people. You can't take advantage of me if I hate you. But you can use me if I say I'm madly in love.

Because love is that feeling that can make you feel vulnerable. No one wants to express vulnerability.

RandomBritishGuy94 · Answer

Because people are irrelevant too most other people. When it comes down to it I care about maybe 10 people? The rest of you are just kind of around. I wouldn't wish harm for you of course but would you really travel to the other side of the world to help some random stranger? If so why haven't you?

The only ones who claim they love the whole world tend to be those who have never seen any of it. It's why the positive message is normally "hope" not "love" because it's understood that people want things to get better for themselves.

If one's mind is dark then how can he give light?  You can only give what you already have. If you have hate in your heart then you offer hate, but if you have love in your heart then you can offer love. The mind is negative by default, but only through conscious thought and a paradigm shift is one able to think positively. Thus, when you think positively are you able to speak positively. Act positively. Jesus said that human's were born into sin and darkness, but he came to give light--and, through him he is the light, the truth and the way.

normalice · Answer

expressing love tends to make people look weak. Or rather, it exposes a weakness. To proclaim your love for something is to tell everyone that if they take it away, they could wreck you. Or if they love it too, you are now in a competition.

but there's nothing to 'compete' with in hatred. Contrarily, it's almost a way of finding like-minded people to bond with.

that's my guess, anyway..

martyfellow · Answer

Love is often problematic.. it makes you vulnerable to other people. You can often be hurt. In ways that are hard for medicine to cure.

When you ATTACK and express hired, you have on a suit of armor. You are prepared for a fight and while you might lose, you won't be emotionally hurt by the conflict.

menina · Answer

I guess it's because they're afraid to be seen as weak, if they're express love. They'll feel more vulnerable.
So, it's easy to show hatred. Maybe they feel strong when they show how much hate they have inside them. Plus, we also live in a world full of hate.

Maypai · Answer

Over the years love in our lives has been returned with negative feelings. When you were younger and you had your first crush often times it led to you feeling hurt, and it continued being that way up until this point in your life where you still might have negative outcome when you love someone. Love often leads to heartache, regret and vulnerability which is why a lot of people would rather express hatred over love.

My personal take on this subject, these are not facts.

KLTheErudite7229 · Answer

People have insecurity to a certain level, or they just don't want everyone to know; another case may be that they expect others to know. I don't have problem hearing my friends telling me they love me or enemies saying they hate me. I personally don't really tell anyone I love them or hate them, as I expect them to know if I do.

FatherJack · Answer

I love my children & my mother , but that's about it !! Love has to be deserved in most cases , also many people have been infected by the toxic " media " , it is a divide & conquer tool , to influence one group to fear / loathe , then hate another group. People need to think for themselves !!

Anonymous · Answer

Hatred is usually expressed because of some hurt the person has gone through. People who hate usually display anger, and anger is an outward manifestation of hurt and emotional pain. People tend to hide their love more because they fear rejection and rejection is painful.

Curious625 · Answer

Because expressing love leaves you vunerable to being hurt whereas when you express hate you're closin doors to love. That's my opinion, I've not got that problem though.

BeautifulPromisesx · Answer

Because love makes you more vulnerable where as hate is easier to portray since it's not you getting hurt.

LaFemmeFatale · Answer

I express love to the people who I love, I don't express hatred cause I hate no one. But sometimes I get bitchy and say things that I don't mean, or I mean but i could say it in a better way.

blondfrog · Answer

We tend to gravitate towards to negativity more. Plus if you love you make yourself valnurable to rejection. Where was you hate and stuff it helps relieve your stress and it would be you doing the rejecting. Which is a lot easier.

jacquesvol · Answer

Love is seen has having a sexual component. Hate is seen as having no sexual component (except maybe jealousy or envy but that's not so clear)

That's why love has to be sugar coated and a bit vague. Hate can be open.

Jealousy, stress and frustration make people get angry easily which makes them act rude. When it comes to jealousy "They hate us cause they ain't us."

Prof_Don · Answer

... to come off as "strong" to other people.  Which is an oxymoron, because FEAR of coming off as weak, is, in fact... weak.

Its todays new society, They think since their leader of the free world can do it, why can't they. They believe they are entitled to their opinion and want it to be heard loud and clear their resentment against something they dont believe in because they are taught to hate another persons point of view and thought.
