I am bumping this topic up because I needed to review it. I do that from time to time when I am dealing with recurring or persistent issues, like people phobia.

I agree now that "hate" is a very strong word.

I don't judge people like they hate me, but I still wonder if I am repulsing them in some way that I am not aware of.

You've all been very helpful and I love reading this thread again.
