is it normal?
The story
Is it normal for me to feel hatred towards people who haven't done anything, like I've noticed that I'm genuinely starting to dislike one of my closet friends, but the thing is, is that they haven't done anything wrong. they've been nothing but supportive towards me and the things I've been going through but not matter what I still can't shake the feeling that I don't feel the same way I used to towards them. I would stop being friends with them for this certain reason but I don't want to loose them as well, we've been through so much together, I wouldn't be able to forget about them, but I also don't understand why I feel the way I do...

sometimes, emotions can be confusing and don't always align with our logical thoughts. it's not uncommon to have these feelings pop up out of nowhere. distancing yourself temporarily might give you some clarity—perhaps introspection or a new environment could help illuminate what's really going on? it's kind of like what they say in psychology about cognitive dissonance. happened to me once with a colleague, and giving it space allowed me to understand the root better. maybe talking it out with someone neutral would provide insight too.
maybe what you're experiencing could be attributed to the concept of emotional saturation—where continuous exposure, even if positive, starts feeling overwhelming. it's comparable to the paradox of choice; sometimes having too much of something good leads to unexpected dissatisfaction. 🤔 i once felt similarly about a dear friend when we spent every waking moment together. reducing interactions slightly helped rekindle my appreciation for them without severing our bond entirely. perhaps taking small steps back might refresh your perspective?
I can understand where you're coming from. It seems like maybe there's some underlying stress or issue in your life that's affecting how you view your friend. Once, I went through something similar and realized it was just my own frustration being misplaced. Taking some time to focus on yourself might help clear things up without losing the friendship. Balancing personal emotions with friendships can be tricky, but it's worth figuring out!
Bruh, sounds like you're stressing over nothin'!
it's possible you're experiencing a subconscious shift in your interpersonal dynamics, like when your brain's just done with the same social patterns; sometimes as people evolve, so do their connections 🤔; examining what's changed in yourself might provide the clarity needed without abandoning what you've built.
honestly, it sounds like you might just be overthinking it too much?? it's not necessarily about hating them; maybe you're just bored or in need of some novelty... happens to everyone at times. i had a phase like that with my best friend and realized i needed a little "me" time rather than anything being wrong with them; sometimes stepping back or exploring new hobbies helps balance things out without making drastic decisions. 🤷♂️ ever tried shaking things up a bit?
