ever had to be around someone that you literally hate!!!!

Why do you hate this person? Why do you have to be around them?

I don't think I've ever had so much emotion for someone.

The person I've disliked most in the world I had to tolerate through a work environment for a couple of years and it was traumatic. She was such a hateful thing who never shut her troll hole.
I accidentally got to know her and now she's one of my favorite people in the world.

Yes I had to work for that person for 2 years. She terrorized our office and I won't say anything else but I am thinking it!

What can you do (within reason) to make yourself less the victim?  

I’ve had to work with some pretty awful, hateful people that I couldn’t stand to be around. So yes, I can relate. There was one job where the whole entire office all the way from coworkers to management was a pit full of nasty backbiting vipers. It was one of the absolute happiest days of my life when I walked out that door for the very last time!

Yes, she stole money from me, stole some items from be (some were irreplaceable). I'm forced to be nice though and I have to see her every.single.day. It takes a lot out of me to be honest. 

I agree with some other posters. I've never had that level of HATE. Even dealing with my (ex)husband while he was gaslighting me during our divorce, I was MAD as hell, but couldn't hate him. I pitied him for his bad choices that were screwing me over. I had severe disdain for my ex's family, and had to deal with them in a civil way and that's no way to live. I'd choose just to be away from someone you don't care for. I don't like the fake nice face we have to put on sometimes.

I'm sorry you're going through this and I hope you could find a way to distance yourself from this person. She/he is taking too much of your time with wasted energy. Trying to ignore them is a better path, but it takes a while to accomplish it!

I haven't had to be around someone I hated every day. That sounds exhausting.

Think about how much energy it takes to hate someone. I would strive for indifference. It's easier said than done, I know!

Sounds like it might possibly be a home situation...and my advice, take care of you! Do something nice for you and do it often. Find ways to minimize the time you need to be involved. If it's home, get a hobby, join a group, go to a movie by yourself. Give yourself some time to just be while you figure it all out.

Hatred is only hurting you.... and it is a choice. Why are you doing this to yourself. Otherpeas have given you some good advice... act it, You don't have to trust or like this person, but you do have to be around them and you need to learn to do it without hurting yourself

I ended up in a situation where I was forced to get to know her.

It was a mutual extreme dislike. she focused on the things she didn't like about me and refused to give me a chance and I did the same. I thought she was the world's biggest asshole and she thought the same.

We disliked each other more and more over the course of a few years and then about a year after I changed jobs to get away from her we ended up volunteering together and neither of us was a big enough jerk to let the project go undone.
It took a few years of being cordial to get to a point where I had any trust for her but it's been 7 years since and we've both changed a lot, thankfully for the better.

Yes, definitely in a work situation and it makes it hard to want to go in everyday. This was a supervisor who was harassing multiple people and eventually got fired.
