Love and hate are decided by how well you value yourself. If you don't value yourself enough, fear creeps in and manifests as jealousy, rejection and loneliness.

The stronger the love, the stronger the hatred. When you love someone from deep down inside and that love turns into hatred for any reason, you hate hearing his/her name!

Ngl, question sounds like a topic from one of those weird love gurus on the internet. Made to make you feel like it's something deep, but not really. Love is also connected to all other emotions. As are other emotions.

Love and hate are two sides of the same coin. Fear falls on the hate side of the coin.

Hate and love might seem like opposite ends of a spectrum, but they're intertwined like the yin and yang. Fear can definitely sway us along that spectrum, sometimes pushing us closer to hate or pulling us deeper into love.

In my opinion and personal experience, they are connected only in unhealthy and toxic relationships. Hate is a powerful feeling and it shouldn't at all be related to love, since they are completely opposite feelings. (edited)

Its all connected because these are all constructs based on human feelings which are communication services to ourselves individually. If you feel hate, well why? What is it that your multicellular structure is letting you know to feel this way towards your surroundings? Same with love. Usually we feel love which instigates mating rituals between multicellular organisms. Fear, is only a conditioned reaction which one has been taught to feel in said construct. So if you listen to your body, recognize what it is which sets these off and why, you can navigate through many things. But in short, yes they are all connected. (edited)

Opposite sides same coin. Fear affects a lot of decisions we make, so I think it would affect how we show love and hate.

Often people mistake love and hate as opposites. The opposite of love is not hate, it is indifference. Fear certainly influences love and hate in different ways. Love reveals, fear clouds and leads to hate, but indifference, or apathy, kills any chance for love between two people. There can be hope in hate for redemption, but apathy kills all.

Love & Hate are two sides of the same coin of passion. Fear may often cause us to flip this coin in a similar manner to trust. However, there are many things that have this effect of the token of passion.

All things exist within balance, light, and dark, happiness, and sorrow. So too does love and hate you cannot hate if you have never loved, and you cannot know love if you have never tasted hatred.

Hate/anger is a motivator. When I hate something, I either remove it or make it right. Love is not so much a motivator, its the light at the end of the tunnel, supposedly.

I think hate and love are fueled by passion. Passion can sometimes switch one or the other depending on its intensity.

Well, they're opposites, so how could they not be connected? They create an entire spectrum, that's affected by many factors, fear included. In fact, I would say fear has a huge affect on how we feel hatred. I think the fear of the unknown causes hate. You can see how humans even today fear people are Other--different race, gender, religion, etc. And directly affects how they feel about those people Racism is about this fear of people are who different, and it leads to hate.

I don't think of them as a spectrum, The relationship is a lot more of a circle, One can experience love, hate and fear all the same time and your understanding of the moment and your past will fill in the blanks and make it coherent to your personal believe.

Feelings of hate or love can activate the putamen and insula which are responsible for generating feelings. When you see someone you hate, this part becomes active. Likewise, when they see their loved ones, the putamen and insula are also significantly active. This gives someone the opportunity to feel love for the person they hate or actually hate the person they love. One thing that makes hate and love similar is that they both often make a person commit irrational actions and encourage them to commit heroic or evil actions in certain situations. In fact, sometimes hatred for someone can actually be triggered because they have a special attraction to the person they hate. That's why you shouldn't hate someone too much or love someone too much because those feelings could change and reverse without you realizing it.😉👌

Hate is the absence of love; just like coldness is the absence of heat. Fear is just so; the absence of safety.

Every emotion, quality, defect, feeling, shortcoming are interconnected! It's our choice how we manage them! Just like a tool, it's your choice how you use it! A knife can as easily be used to feed you or to kill

Yes I believe hate and love are inter connected atleast to some point.. coz of u start loving somebody on the parallel u will start hating somebody like their friends, family or even colleagues.. and vice versa... Fear on the other hand could make a wise man take wrong decisions so yeah it definitely effects where we fall on the spectrum...
