Welcome brother Ubo Hasan

in the active voiced sentence the object receives the action

I hate> people who look at me...

in the passive voiced sentence the subject receives the action

-considering the clause the defines the object

the sentence would be:

people who look at me<are hated (by me)

however, sometimes the active voice of some sentences sounds better & I feel it with the verb (hate) in the first person sounds a bit awkward

\

I wish that helps

thanks for being interested. but it is usless to change this sentence the traditional way.

Iam an English teacher, I would have not missed it if it was so.

this seems awkward to be done this way. im sure you are not quite convinced .are you

That's exactly how I feel, useless

I think using passive voiced sentences with first person statements is not very common

yet grammatically, there is no other way of doin it as you know.

glad to know we have an English teacher with us
