Numerous times, I have heard neurotypical people say that "hate is a strong word" and no matter how horrible someone has treated them, they say they still don't hate that person.

I don't understand this at all. There are a lot of people that I hate. Hate isn't too strong a word for me. Maybe people with AS are more perceptive to how evil people can be.

My bf constantly says that if you hate someone you would like to see them killed/dead. I dont know. I often say i hate people. And yes, im sure the world would be a better place without most of these people.

Yes I feel hatred over people. Not to the point of wanting to actually see the person dead so if the definition of hate is that then maybe I don't feel hate?

Usually if I hate someone I'll never see or talk to them again. I can pretend like they don't exist that way.

Webster's defintions of hate:

1 a: intense hostility and aversion usually deriving from fear, anger, or sense of injury b: extreme dislike or antipathy : loathing <had a great hate of hard work>
2: an object of hatred <a generation whose finest hate had been big business — F. L. Paxson>

I don't believe you have to wish someone dead to hate them.

I believe all people have some goodness in them. I have never hated anyone before, not to say that I won't sometime before I die, but I just shrug off the ones that annoy me.

I hated someone once. I think in retrospect that there were times when I really did wish they were dead. But later I learned that it was all based on a misunderstanding, and we ended up being, if not friends, then at least allies.

In the wake of all this I decided never to hate anyone again. It was an intensely strong, unpleasant, consuming feeling and it exhausted me. Worse still, it did no damage whatsoever to its object. In my view, hate just isn't worth it.

One person, to a great, embarrassing degree. (Wishing them dead, ruined, or similar stuff) I try to be reasonable and not let anger or other emotions control me, á la cognitive therapy. Most people that bother me I can shrug off... usually they are just dull, immature and don't know any better. This guy is fairly intelligent, and knows exactly what he's doing.

Hate,
I do feel anger, I do feel frustrations, I do feel regrets,
I do feel many negative things from time to time in my life about people,
many times I may say I HATE them, but its not them I hate,
its what affects they impose upon me or in how badly I handled the issues in the first place.
once I cool off I realize much of things is due to misunderstandings,
errors in my own judgements, unmeaning errors in their own judgements, stuff like that,
most people really do not want to cause evils unto someone else without a damn good reason,
lack of considerations and communications and selfishness and greed and good judgement calls
is generally the root of many issues.

I try not to let it all get to me,
for in the end, I am only harming my own peace of mind
and letting them rule and cause even more harm unto my life.
To Hate others, is in its own way, Is harming your self,
when my energy can be better placed and used in more positive
things and ways of thinking.

I hate people too and would love to see them dead. It would be a dream come true. I would be celebrating in my mind. But once I get over my anger about what they did to me, that strong feeling isn't there anymore so I don't hate them as much. Sure I still wouldn't care if they died or they got hurt. Who cares. People die all the time and do I care? No.

And I agree with this too, its like with my child's mother,
I do not actually hate her or wish her dead, but I AM done with her in my life,
she is of no use to me and she is a threat and a thorn in my side,
if she was a friend or a neutral thats one thing, but she is proving
her self to me to be a continuing issue and threat where I have not been to her.
so if she actually died for some reason, I may feel sad in some ways,
but happy in that I and my son could just finely get peacefuly on with our lives.
but then again, one of the reasons I let my self feel this way about her
is this is how I think she feels about me or worse. like begets like.

I get angry at people but it's rare that I'm moved to hate. (Which to me isn't an extreme form of anger, but is the "I wish you never existed" sort of thing.)

Knowing how evil people can be doesn't make me hate them, I don't think it logically follows that if someone is evil you have to hate them.

Personally I got in trouble a lot for refusing to say I hated people. Lots of conversations like:

"You hate me."

"No I don't."

"Oh so you love me then?"

"No."

"Then you hate me."

"No."

"Then you love me?"

"ARRRRRRRRRRGH!"
