You try to be kind to them, and all they do is take advantage of you. Yet people say “oh have sympathy, they’re sick” fuck that. I understand that substance abuse is a problem, but u have zero sympathy for junkies who ruin other peoples lives. The world would be better off if they just fucking OD’D and died, less oxygen wasted on trash imo.
The problem is hating them just for being junkies. There’s little issue with hating a junkie for being a piece of shit.
Yes, it could be argued that they may be acting like a piece of shit as a result of their addiction. However, there is an element of personal responsibility glossed over with that point of view.
I come from a part of the earth chalk full of junkies. It’s sad, I have empathy, but they really do unfortunately spread their misery on the surrounding community. So I hear you.

Because they’re people.
You seem to have some sort of specific situation in mind other than just any and all drug addicts. Would you care to go into more detail?

My boyfriend’s grandma allowed one to stay in their house while waiting on disability until she stole her pain meds, they originally didn’t call the cops because they didn’t want them to be involved, but this bitch calls the cops and claims that because she gave them some money, she’s technically a tenant, so they’re stuck with the selfish bitch until they go through an eviction process

So, really, your problem isn’t with addicts, it’s with selfish assholes that take advantage of others.
