the opposite of love is not hate right? but indifference

Indifference, for me i guess it's when i don't feel any feelings at all. Say for my husband, like when he would scowl at me for asking an impertinent question and i would get hurt and angry and not accost him with it, but just keep it inside.

That is "EMPTINESS" That is what "exactly" I feel when I lost the love to my ex. I feel so empty- no anger, no hatred, no love, not thirsty, not hungry. I stayed on the shower for hours with my clothes on and I never felt cold either. I had myself wake up from where I'd fall and avoid from falling more deeper with the emptiness inside. Yes, that is not hate- rather emptiness- and after feeling emptiness. You will find yourself stronger than what you believe you are. There is no more shocking event that you cannot face or surpass. That is the maximum level of test on how strong willed you are. Just speaking from my own experience- I do not know about the others.

Indifference is like that what you said, it happened to me when totally fed up and decided to leave him. Actually i do not hate him because i just grab the opportunity to leave him when i started i have nothing feel for him anymore, i don't care, i don't mind him, even ask him when and where he have been. I lost the love i have for him before.

for me, no disturbance at my busy time. Today, i phoned my fiance just half an hour ago asking has she taken launch? se said yes and informed me that she has some guests. It is okay, i cut the call and open my laptop to mylot. So, now, i dont expect a phone call from her. Surely i will chat with her in the evening. Have a nice time.

Hi jazel Indifference is - when I keep asking you to give me chocos and you dont. Love is - when you give me chocos without me asking - just a sensing that I might be in need of one Hate is - when you try to post the choco and mylot doesnt allow you to post citing - "Could not post your comment at the moment! Please try later"

You are right, the opposite of love is not hate. Love and hate are both very strong, passionate emotions, whereas indifference is just nothing. You don't care one way or the other. When you hate someone or something, you are still expressing a strong emotion towards them, a strong negative emotion. With indifference there is no emotion towards that person or thing at all. You just don't care. I totally felt indifference with my ex-husband when we were planning on getting a divorce. One day he started to pick an argument with me, tried to get me going, calling me names etc and what I felt, or didn't feel rather, really surprised me. I had absolutely no desire whatsoever to argue with him, no desire to defend myself against his name-calling, nothing. I felt nothing at all. It just didn't matter. I just didn't care. He could call me every name he could think of (and he did) and I just didn't care. I was totally indifferent to him, his thoughts, his actions, his words.

Love and Hate can be described as Emotional states,positive and Negative..Someone you Love or Hate is therefore getting an emotional response from You-they're in your thoughts,You're not letting go of them... If your feelings for someone go from love to Hate,they're still affecting you emotionally.So what this saying means,is that going to a state of being emotionally Neutral about them,i.e,you no longer care about them at ALL,is in effect the opposite state to Love..They've faded into the background,part of the crowd,like they don't exist for you on a personal level You'd identify with..Ever seen "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind"? It's not easy for us as Humans to erase the feelings we had for someone..Charlie Kaufman wrote that story to show one possible solution..but even the solution had its own problems!

I know what had in my head as far as what indifference is, but I looked it up just to get actual clarification. The definition I found states that indifference, among other things mean " lack of importance, insignificant". That's when I realized it really is the opposite of love. Love and hate are both strong emotions that take your time and energy, so the person involved is still getting a lot of your attention, whether positive (love) or negative(hate). Your brain is still wrapped up in them. With indifference, you are not putting any of your attention on them. They do not matter at all to you. They are not worth your time to even think about. They have no power over you. That is a very hurtful place to be because we all want to be validated. Even children would rather get yelled at and punished than to be ignored completely. So yes, it is when you do not feel anything at all.

There is an expression that is often used when one is least bothered about others and which is 'Whose father what goes" That is indifference, not getting affected no matter what happens to others. Hatred on the contrary is a kind of involvement which is preferred to indifference.

Indifference as you have explained is not having interest and that fact that you don't seem to care enough. Relatively, it could be incompatibility creating a gap in between and then seeming to go through without empathy. It could also very well relate to avoiding association for the simple of reason creating a protective barrier so as to not be bothered at all whatsoever, lol!

I don't believe the opposite of love is hate.. there are plenty of people who do hate but never felt any love. I do wonder why it is said it is the opposite. I can't tell you how it is about the word "indifference" since it says nothing to me. English is not my native language and I think you should have the right feeling with that word to say/explain what it really means.

I think that the opposite of love is indifference, too. At first, when you have your heart broken, you do feel hatred, and it is very intense. But over the years, all of that hatred and love you felt before fades away, and you realize that you do not care what that person does anymore, what they think, how they spend their time and so on.

If we see in the way of English, the opposite for love is hate. But when it comes as practical, it is indifference. It is just ignoring the person to say plainly. Doing it to any person will hurt them than hating them.

Hate is a dagger and indiference a fire. The first kills straighforwadly and secondly kills with time.:]

I think I still consider love and hate opposites. Indifference is someplace in the middle. Indifference is not love, because it involves withholding all that love would give. Another thing that happens is when a person feels depressed over their live and the way things have gone, they may fell nothing. Their emotions are shut down in an effort to avoid the pain. It seems to me a little different than indifference.

I guess when you love someone so much, you would thinking about that person a lot, day and night. What they were doing at the moment, and whether he/she would call you or not. When you hate a person, you simply want everything bad happen to that person, but you still want to know that person should not be happy at all. You still nosy about his/her well - being. When you are indifferent about a person, you already said it, you won't care at all. Whether he/she is in good health, or bad fortune, that just none of your business.

I think indifference is even worse than hate. It means that other person is totally devoid of any feeling towards you. Hate can teeter towards love as there is a reason sometimes for the hate. Indifference is just an "I don't care about you" attitude.
