Would you rather be hated or ignored?

[EpicEnergy 23,220]

I'd rather not be either, both are terrible.

[Castle Bleck 19,376]

Definitely ignored.

To quote Shrek, "I like my privacy."

[Misty Shadow 7,909]

Ignored, since people who hate you these days are completely, absolutely insane.

I would rather be ignored. If people would hate me, because I would have done something awful, I would have to live with guilt and feel very bad. But there is also the kind of hate that is not justified, I don't really care about that, no reason to feel bad in this case.

[Lucky Bolt 35,064]

Honestly I'm already both of those things, for the most part. 

[Tacodidra 61,214]

Definitely ignored. That's not nice either, but being hated is much worse – at least if people do that openly (and even if not, you can sometimes sense if people don't like you). And depending on how much they hated me, I imagine things could get quite bad.

[Savy 5,080]

Honestly I wouldn't want either, but if I had to choose it would be ignored.

It makes me feel terrible when people hate me. :/

I’d much rather be hated than ignored. I don’t mind hatred because it can be a nice honest emotion, whether it’s based on anything real or not. And if there’s something about me that pisses someone off, maybe I can learn from it. At least there’s one positive aspect of that. Being ignored serves no purpose to me or anyone else. 

[Splashee 28,564]

I would love to be hated about 10% and ignored about 90%. That's a good balance I think.

[ExplosionMare 18,065]

Ignored cause then I could live my introverted life in peace 

[DubWolf 17,265]

You could have good integrity, strong ethics and privileges and be hated  .

You might be average, a loser, or an annoying person if you’re ignored....

Id prefer hated, but only if I was a different person....

But hated is so much more....

 

Why is hated even an option? Who wants to be hated?

[Thicc Luna 1]

Both is fine 

Hating me is just a waste of time and energy on that person part not mine and even when I know people hate me I still don't care. I have better things to be doing. 

Ignore me all you want I don't say anything most of the time and when I do its noting that great. so both is fine.

I do. At least then I'd know why people would want to avoid me.

Not guaranteed. People sometimes hate without apparent reason. If people ignored you, you could at least try to approach them and ask why, since there is an obvious reason for it.

[Clawdeen 14,725]

I mean I receive both at work from my coworkers.

However if I had a preference it would be ignore. People who hate me tend to want to interact, be nasty, shady or make my life extra miserable.

Theoretically, if you were completely, utterly ignored by everyone, couldn't you get away with virtually anything? 

I could go downstairs right now and steal a packet of cookies meant for my entire family and nobody would take me up on it. I'll have to give this some thought.

[BritishBrony2012 821]

Ignored it better than hated but as being hated it depend for what I hated for. There some here who think being hated is cool, they maybe a**holes. If I ever get hated it be something I done good in my life.

[Astralshy 26,924]

If I have the choice I would say neither, but If I have to decide:  I would choose to be ignored. I know how to use free time :)

[ZiggWheelsManning 10,645]

Being ignored, as being hated gives you eyes you don't want
