Is it hate a form of love?

No, hate is not a form of love. Love is a positive feeling and it makes people feel good. Hate on the other hand is a negative feeling and definitely opposite of love. Two opposite feelings can't be the same..

I don't understand how hate can be love. I see them as opposites. They are extremes and as far away from each other as possible in my opinion.

They are the exact same emotions, but with different words.

Hi katie: I have heard this theory before and I think that in some cases hate is a way of love. It's simple, when you hate someone that means that this person matters to you a lot that you can get him/her out of your head. It's an obsession. But of course it's negative and can destroy you and the person that you hate. ALVARO

Is hate a form of love? If you hate a person, you have this extreme feeling of disgust. But then this feeling might be some sort of defense mechanism so it can probably be a form of love as well. Hate is not the opposite of love but indifference. So there's a chance that if you hate a person, deep inside you love that person also.

love and hate complements each other.. they are both strong emotions..the first being positive while the latter a negative one...

I don't think that you can say that hate is a form of love, but you can certainly say that both are strong emotions. You can also say that love and hate are closely related, particularly when people are in relationships. If you have broken up with someone, you might feel bitter about the fact that you're no longer together, but at the same time you will also love them, meaning that you can often get the two feelings mixed up in your own head and end up thinking that you hate someone when in actual fact you just resent the fact that you love them.

There are certainly people who love to hate! But that is actually the wrong use of the word love. We often use "love" when we really mean enjoy! I can agree that hate and love are equally strong emotions, but that is the only thing they have in common. They are quite separate.

I have though of that too, and its seems so very often. I remember a guy who loved a certain lady he could not talk to her about his feeling he had for her, the only thing he managed so well was command after command. He made sure she had no rest until she started to complain of his behaviours towards her... We were very surprised to know the real cause of all that was his hidden feeling for her.

I dont think hate is a form of love, when I hate I Ignore the person and even forgot about the person unless something/someone remind me about the person, that would not happen when we love someone. So no I dont think it is a form of love. Hate is related to anger, madness, mostly it came because someone has anger/hurt us too much that we cannot take anymore but sometime we hate someone because we dislike their attitude. It is true that both love and hate may grow deeply, and it is related to our feeling/emotion but both are opposite from each other.
