Do you hate math? Do you really? All things being equal, math is just a subject. Math won't punch you, it won't call you names, it won't even give you a bad grade. A teacher may give a bad grade, in math even, but it's not math that is harming you.
So let's consider what you might actually hate. Maybe you hate math homework. Maybe you just rather be spending time with people you love instead considering mathematical topics. It is perfectly understandable that you would rather do a slew of things in the place of thinking about math.
The secret behind why people love thinking about math, believe me there are people who love thinking about math, is that they see beauty behind the logical structure of the subject. For some people a well proved theorem is like a well thought out work of art. To others, mathematics is a self existing field of study. The answer is out there, it just needs to be found. Oddly enough, sometimes the answer is "we don't know" as Gödel found.
I don't think that there is anything I can write that will change your opinion of math right away. The fact that you are reading this means that you care enough to alter your opinion. Check out my Inspiration in algebra for adults if you wish to learn more.
