And I’m not just talking about one time but consistently every time.
Yes it’s not only possible but probable.
One time a while back, although not excited to talk about looking that far back, I had a priest over for dinner, a long time friend and mentor of the family.
I asked him to offer me confession and he goes;
Tell me your sins son. So I go the only one thing I remember, that all through my life I have come to hate mankind.
So he goes without further ado, Son, you’re absolved, cause I do too.

I doubt it is possible. If it’s everyone, then you hate humans and you’re human. Psychopaths don’t hate everyone, they just see them in instrumental terms and don’t care about them.

What if every person you encountered is an asshole?
Is it then justified to hate every person you encountered?
Are you obligated to hate yourself then?
There is an order and structure to the formation of hatred.
Hatred is born out of abuse and betrayal. Of expectations which cannot be met.
On the slow route usually hatred for your own self is born first.
You hate yourself because you think the problem is you. You are the one unable to meet the standards that would get you treated better. You are the one who fails. You are the one in the wrong, who deserves to be punished.
And then one day the question comes to you: “If i cant meet all expectations, do i deserve to suffer forever?”, “Is it a sin that i am just human and that i cant be more than what i am?”
As you slowly realize that regardless of how you twist the problem around, this setting is not justifiable… you start to turn that internal hatred towards the outside.
But thats just one script for the screenplay.
There are many more.
Ego death is one of them.
Once hatred becomes pointless, new angles of perception present themselves.

Yes, in particular if you live completely isolated from any person ever
That doesn’t make sense if you are isolated away from other humans how would you know that they exist ? Therefore you couldn’t hate them.
Then it is possible to hate every zero person you encounter
A lot of people I find to be annoying or frustrating, but I try my best not to hate anybody.
Hate should only be reserved for evil and wicked people.
We must try our best to be compassionate towards everyone, even the annoying and frustrating individuals. It’s a hard thing to do and requires a lot of resilient patience. I struggle being patient myself but I do try my best to do so.
