When it comes to the term "hate," it signifies a strong feeling of dislike, which can either be rational or irrational. For instance, if someone's family was killed by a murderer, it is understandable that they would have strong negative feelings towards the murderer. However, in such cases, the term "hater" is not usually used. This suggests that the term "hater" is often used to imply an unjustified or irrational dislike.
On the other hand, when there is evidence that an individual is fixated on feeling dislike, such as with a blind desire for revenge, it may be appropriate to use the term "hater."Â
Determining the difference between rational and irrational dislike is not always straightforward. As we tend to identify with ourselves, our biases may lead us to dismiss valid criticisms directed towards us, which hinders our self-reflection and growth. The choice becomes between preserving our ego and comfort or striving for self-correction. Avoid using the term "hater" to dismiss potentially valid criticism.
