No.

maybe I can't stand being near some one who keeps talking about something and never doing it

It is for me.
Socializing is a psychological torment

gods. you know i think it is. If there weren't other people i would be happy enough. sure i would get lonely sometimes but i could just take up talking to myself. Me and me get on real well..and such a great sense of humor..so fun. Oh. You people are still here.

No I think its in your own head (personally I mean)

John Milton:
The mind is its own place, and in itself, can make heaven of Hell, and a hell of Heaven.

Hell is internal.
No one has power over you that you don't give them.

Sometimes hell is knowing that there are other people and still feeling very alone.

You have given me a new line of thought .

Nope... many people can be hateful, proud, arrogant but there are still those that love, are considerate, those that hope....

I watched this awhile back... I hear it is a book too.

We all make our heaven/hell. So if we see other people in our creation, they are essentially part of it.

Some people give you hell because they're full of it. Some people just fill themselves with negative waste and then have nothing else to offer other people but hellish words, thoughts, actions, etc. But the soul is not hell, it is pure. We all make mistakes and need correction in return not punishment or resentment or judgment from some old, big-headed ignoramus

No.
It's a place where you go if you haven't the salvation of God.
Where that is and what it is like is not something I can properly describe, all I know is that it is away from God.
If ones soul is cast out of God's presence for all eternity where else can you go?

Life is a real HELL living in SELFISH & JUDGEMENTAL people around.

i personally think the evil people in this world are hell, i mean people like rapists, murderers, peadofiles ect are all from hell.

edit: the world we live in isnt safe and never has been.

Yes you got that right

To those who are Anti-Sartre: Jean-Paul Sartre said: "I mean that if relations with someone else are twisted, vitiated, then that other person can only be hell. Why? Because... when we think about ourselves when we try to know ourselves,... we use the knowledge of us which other people already have. We judge ourselves with the means other people have and have given us for judging ourselves. Into whatever I say about myself someone else's judgement enters. ... But that does not at all mean that one cannot have relations with other people. It simply brings out the capital importance of all other people for each one of us."

Pls. don't give me thumbs down without reading, otherwise you are Hell to me.

That seems to be the case. Frustrations mostly slip as the cause for someone else.

Yeah, in a way....without negative people there wouldn't be negative emotions and actions....only peace. Imagine that!!!

Ha! It sure seems like it sometimes...but if that is the case...there are rare times when Heaven can be other people too...

LOL it sure can be, some days are worse than others!

Several years ago a book was published, entitled Beyond Death's Door by Dr. Maurice Rawlings. Dr. Rawlings, a specialist in Internal Medicine and Cardiovascular Disease, resuscitated many people who had been clinically dead. Dr. Rawlings, a devout atheist, "considered all religion "hocus-pocus" and death nothing more than a painless extinction". But something happened in 1977 that brought a dramatic change in the life of Dr. Rawlings! He was resuscitating a man, terrified and screaming — descending down into the flames of hell:
"Each time he regained heartbeat and respiration, the patient screamed, "I am in hell!" He was terrified and pleaded with me to help him. I was scared to death. . . Then I noticed a genuinely alarmed look on his face. He had a terrified look worse than the expression seen in death! This patient had a grotesque grimace expressing sheer horror! His pupils were dilated, and he was perspiring and trembling — he looked as if his hair was "on end."
Then still another strange thing happened. He said,"Don't you understand? I am in hell. . . Don't let me go back to hell!" . . .the man was serious, and it finally occurred to me that he was indeed in trouble. He was in a panic like I had never seen before."
(Maurice Rawlings, Beyond Death's Door,(Thomas Nelson Inc., 1979) p. 3).
THE BIBLE GIVES THE LOCATION OF HELL

When Jesus Christ died on the cross, He descended into hell. In Acts 2, Peter is speaking, verse 31, " . . . seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in HELL"

When Jesus Christ died His soul went into hell.

And in Matthew 12:40, Jesus Christ says:

"For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly: so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the HEART OF THE EARTH. "
The Bible is clear — Hell is inside the earth!

Ephesians 4:9, says of Jesus: "Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the LOWER PARTS OF THE EARTH."

On page 85 of Beyond Death’s Door, Dr. Rawlings writes patients who described hell said, ". . . this place seems to be UNDERGROUND or WITHIN THE EARTH in some way."
