Being a hater kind of sucks
Another off hand ramble, but I honestly feel that being a hater just absolutely sucks. Now what I mean by this is not in the sense of going "I don't like this thing" and moving on, maybe talk about why you don't like this thing a bit. I mean in the sense of absolutely hating something/one and having the hate being front and center in your mind.
The reason I know this is because I used to be a professional hater somebody who absolutely hated certain things, and let me tell you it felt MISERABLE!
One thing that I don't see anybody talk about is how the thing you hate is just front and center in your mind 24/7 and just live rent free in your head. which is the complete opposite of what you want when you hate something.
It's like how I hate the taste of onions, but you don't see me going to the story buying a bag full of onions and gobbling down an entire onion. I just don't buy them and don't eat them.
Example I don't like the Hellaverse series (I know such an extremely hot and original take) but instead of not engaging with it and doing stuff I like. I kept engaging with it, I kept making myself miserable, and I kept feeling shit because I kept engaging with it. I'm constantly eating the onion even though I don't have too.
It gotten so bad I started to hate other people who like the Hellaverse shows which now that I'm typing this out and saying it out loud is extremely pathetic (That because it is). This would be bad if this was the only thing like that, but it wasn't
There are so many things I disliked/hated that I kept engaging with and ruining my mood. It gotten so bad the list of things I like and enjoy was a way WAY shorter list than the list of stuff hated.
While I still have some hater blood in me and still have times I relapse and fall into a hole of rage baiting myself I've been trying to stop being a hater, and constantly force feeding myself onions.
The result is that I'm happier overall unsurprisingly forcing yourself to think about something you don't like just makes you miserable. Seriously the conversations between me and my brother before and after is like night and day it feels so much better.
This blog isn't here to go how you shouldn't dislike something you're human (Or a extremely idiotic robot like me) we all have things we don't like and hate and that's fine. But we shouldn't just constantly keep forcing ourselves to ruin our mood and sabotage our mental health.
