I cannot dislike most people anymore.
Yesterday, I (25M) was sitting with myself as usual, overthinking about all the good and the bad things that I did in life and how I am developing mentally as I age and choosing to be better in general, like treating people with kindness, being a better brother to my little sister, etc. I started to develop empathy towards those who seem like bad people on the surface. Now when I see someone who has a very disliked personality (like stinginess, narcissism, lacking empathy, or whatever it may be), the first thought that comes to mind is: What type of environment were they raised in? Have they been through trauma?
For example, someone might lack the ability to be a caring parent and show their kids affection like hugging them, etc., but they were raised in a family where hugging and comforting people is not normal, so they were never taught how to be someone who cares.
This has made me not blame people and hate them as much as I used to, since their actions are a result of their environment.
With that being said, I think understanding people in that way is not the same as accepting their harmful behavior. I feel like I can't necessarily hate people for how they are, but i just won't let it affect me.
