My hatred is torturing me and won't go away
« on: May 27, 2015, 03:40:18 AM »
As a younger teenager I developed a hateful mind. I was an angry person in junior high and high school. I looked younger than I was and I was treated like a small child... In middle school, my peers were very condescending to me. They were sarcastic, they treated me like **censor** scum... I was sexually harassed in junior high, other guys, mainly hispanic, ( this will be important later ) would say obscene things to me, and one even grabbed my genitals in the locker room... After this, I was angry at everyone. Around this time, there were protests by illegal immigrants demanding amnesty, and ultra left extremists supporting them, and saying that white people have no right to be in America... I was building up rage inside, and I remembered how I was treated in middle school, and I began to hate them.... I was full of anger, I got into high school, and I went to a christian school from grade 9 and up. I was put on different medications, and my grades slipped after 7th grade, when I was put on luvox. it made me so foggy and almost stoned. My grades went from straight "A: in 6th and 7th grade to "C's" and "D's", and some "F's" from 8th grade through the rest of High School. Soon, my anger turned to Muslims. Hearing about mass immigration into Europe and nut jobs like Anjem Choudhary in the UK. I fell into worry about Muslims becoming the majority in Europe, even though second generation, European born muslims hold the same fertility rates as native Europeans. I started reading the Quran, and read some very violent passages and my hate continued, even though most Muslims just want to live their lives like everyone else..... Towards the end of high school, Senior year, the Trayvon Martin incident occurred, and seeing people protest and loot like a bunch of idiots caused me to have anger and hatred towards blacks. Then, after I graduated, the Michael Brown incident happened, and seeing all these idiots loot and protest, and celebrities and "civil rights" leaders stir the pot even more, over a criminal that got shot for attacking a police officer, I became more angry that I had ever been in my life. These thoughts caused me to be depressed and anxious all the time. In my everyday interactions, I did not feel any racist feelings towards anyone. I would come across very nice black and hispanic people and go home conflicted. I had joined online forums for white power extremists and right wing extremists. I just got angrier and angrier, and more depressed because I realized that I'm gay, and you know how these people feel about gays.... I have since then stopped going on these forums, but my mind won't let go of these feelings. My mind works by stereotyping, even though it seems that black youth are influenced by their peers and culture, not because they're black... Black mothers are raising their children to stay away from gangs, but its their peers...

I really really really want to let go of the hate from my past but it won't go away... This hatred has made me angry in every other corner of my life, It has been stressful on my family. I feel so guilty  and I used to punish myself by striking myself and cutting, in places where nobody can see... It always made me feel better... Really, I don't know how to get rid of the hate. Some of the nicest people I know are black and hispanic, and don't know about my online forum activities and my internal struggles...

I would say that stereotyping in your mind isn't exactly a horrible thing... I do it all the time XD. I think people can think whatever they want. The only thing that I would take issue with is if you acted on those thoughts. Which it doesn't seem like you do.

I have a very broad stereotype which includes all humans, no matter what race, and that's that everyone is (potentially) a horrible person, until I am proven otherwise. Whenever I meet a new person, even if they are completely nice to me and I'm nice back and we get along well, I'm always keeping in the back of my mind: "This person is a potential racist. This person is a potential animal abuser. This person is a potential religious extremist who would hate me if they knew I was an atheist. This person is a potential homophobe." And the list goes on and on.

And yes, I do stereotype racially, I'm not proud of it, but you can't control what you believe. For example, if I see an elderly white male, I always think "if this man knew I support gay rights, he would probably be an asshole to me". When I come across a FOB asian person, I think things like "this person probably has dogs locked in chicken-wire cages at their house living in it's own feces". Horrible things to think of people. But that's my thought process. Because I've been scarred enough by humans to care anymore. (I'm asian/white btw, that's why I chose those XD)

However, these thoughts are no-factor for how I treat people. I always give people a chance to earn my trust. It's like every person goes through a screening process. But when they prove my stereotype right, then it's easier for me to say "oh, they are a piece of sh*t afterall." and it becomes very easy for me to let go of people, because I never expected them to be good people in the first place. And I already made sure not to invest myself too much into them before I knew what kind of person they REALLY are, so I didn't waste my time with some a55hole.

I hold to it that you have to look out for yourself first, and if that means being weary of people, then so be it.

You can't stop how you think, you can choose to act on these thoughts, or to ignore them. if you continue not to act on them they will eventually begin to fade, but they will never vanish entirely, as everyone has those thoughts. a lot of people find themselves disliking Muslims due to the actions of a few terrorists, even though its irrational. put simply, stop acting on it and you have nothing to be guilty about. you know your hate is bullshit, so do what you do with all bullshit. show yourself its bullshit and then ignore it.

Don't try to suppress it. Just know that you are still a good person, no matter how bad your thoughts are, as long as you don't act on them or let them influence you. I've come to terms with myself that my mind is a total dick sometimes but i just laugh at myself  :P
