Ever wondered if you are hated?

by Nic Haralambous on 18/10/2007

I have. I often wonder how many people I truly piss off on a daily basis. I am pretty sure the number is high.

Controversy has never scared me off and probably never will. Being a loud, outspoken and a calculating kind of person I don’t imagine that I win over many people on my first try – or even the second.

But then again, who cares? I recently decided that I am probably pretty disliked on the blogoshpere and in “real life” without even knowing it. I cause alot of kak and that is definitely not helped by some of the bloggers that I am friends with.

Now I know that there are some people who will comment on this post that I am trying to win over favour and get people to tell me how much they like me. I’m not. I don’t really mind if you do dislike me.

I’m just asking a simple question: Have you ever wondered if you are hated?

I have.

    hahah, dude… I am exactly the same. I am 100% certain there are people out there that truly dislike me.

    So what? You’re here to express an opinion (subjective opinion). We are here to read all about it. If people don’t like, bugger off.

    I agree with that 100%. But let’s be honest, no man is an island and no blog can exist without visits.

    Visits wont continue forever if EVERYONE hates us!! :)

    Yes Nic, I got to say that you come across as quite self opinionated. Now you can hate me too, lol.

    Self appointed, that’s interesting. You could say that. You could also say that I have an opinion and am willing to stand by it.

    I don’t hate anyone, at all, I dislike the actions of some poeple and the way they are, but hate, definitely not.

    Nic hate is such a destructive emotion, I don’t waste my time partaking. Dislike and pity however are fleeting emotions. I use them regularly for various people.

    What I don’t do though is play judge and jury without any evidence.

    I know that I am loved, I know that I am hated and sadly most of the haters have never actually met me. I know the majority of people just don’t give a shit.

    Nic, self opinionated, not appointed, where on earth did you get that from?

    Sorry!! Have no idea where I got that from. hahaha. My mistake. Thanks for clearing that up though. I feel a bit better now.
