![]() The majority of the time, people don’t say hateful things because they are a cruel, judgemental, antisocial person. If you are a generally positive, forgiving person, the concept of hating others, much less someone you barely know, is a foreign concept to you. The question is, why does an action as disrespectful as spewing negativity about other people increase hateful individual’s quantity and quality of connections? The Fiery Emotions that Fuel Hatred Research has found that people form stronger bonds when they are able to talk about their dislike toward someone else than when they both have positive feelings toward someone. Despite hating people being a socially unacceptable act, on the few occasions when people have the guts and/or strong emotion to motivate them to share their negative opinions about a person, it often pays off in the form of new or stronger connections. Have you ever heard the cliche, “no bond is stronger than two people who hate the same person?” It turns out there is actually some truth to that statement. ![]()
