(A funny meme for you, if you’re wondering about the picture)

So to preface, like everyone else, I came from reddit, a website that I left due to some subs that I don’t want to name as they are personal to me.

The reason I left is because it got flooded with stupid people, and I realised that the only reason I kept using Reddit was to argue with those fools.

But the thing is, that simply cutting out reddit didn’t solve my problem, which is that I really hate a lot of people and I’m not even going to deny it.

A lot of them deserve it tho, I’m mostly talking about those jerks who try to stample on others to feel better about themselves. I hate how this word got “ruined” but to be precise I’m talking about “bigoted” people.

Anyways l just because they “deserve” the hate (or don’t) I still feel angry after meeting people like this and I honestly don’t know what to do now.

I see you meant trample not sample. I was kicked off reddit for a reason lemme really likes.

I have "love your enemies" rattling in my brain for the past few days and I have comparing it to "you have no enemies". They almost seem mutually exclusive but make you act very similarly. I get how trampling on people makes people like me feel better that it's toxic and well if people to trample on me I'd accept it and let them know I understand why they're doing it.

I can accept that people drink alcohol, do drugs, and prey on those they precieve weaker than them. I do see people get mad at other people drinking and doing drugs with real passion behind it. it's weird to say it's really a perspective thing.

My best advice is to try to understand them. If they're truly angry assholes they can't explain and they'll get frustrated at their inability to articulate and precieve your question as a form of (self projected) hostility, if they are trying to communicate to you they'll make an attempt to say why they're angry. I like to think that if you matured enough you'll just say what you don't like and why you don't like it.
