And your alone. I am the hater. I hate what I have become. I used to be so different. And I forced myself to enlist.

Calm down man, i'm just very interested by this subject because i'm doing a lots of music where im trying to spread some love because when i was in college i was used to be bullied, so im trying to help kids who are in the similar situation.

Honest question. What is a “hater”?

If i had to define whats a hater is i would say that its a person who are very rude and disrespectfull towards what you are trying to defend, an idea, an ideology, etc... But he will not even try to understand what you are saying, he just hate you because, for example, your personnality will bring a lots of people to you around the world, so he can be jealous of that, and hate you but for no reasons. Its my definition of a hater.

Because the world, for the most part, is (and always has been) a dangerous place and hate has proven to be a very useful (highly conserved through evolutionary time) adaptation to help keep small and delicate bands of our ancestors safe for one more day.

You can see this bias towards negativity easily in the structure of basic emotions. There is one positive affect (happiness) and waaaaay more negative affects (fear, anger, disgust, sadness) and only one neutral (surprise). And those negative emotions are all very distinct.

If you want more detail I can recommend over 120 hours of learning in the following (which I've watched and digested). They'll walk you through the details from the bottom to the top.
