This is a
phrase that I have heard often, but I find that
a lot of people
either have
never heard it, or
don't agree with it. These are usually
the
type of people who haven't dealt with much
rejection in their
life, and don't know what it's to be truly
hated. When you get right
down to it, it's a very
juvenile reaction to an
emotionally volatile
situation. If you can't
deal with your feelings about a person, you
turn around and try to
push them away by hating them.
This sort of thing can be blatantly seen after a couple has broken up.
When they see each other again, for the first time after they've been
apart, they usually try and act like they haven't been thinking about
each other. Usually, even if it was a bad breakup, they try and make
it clear to the other person that they have been ignoring them.
It's a quirk of human nature.
