Why did people hate him?



I didn't get why the people in the town hated him so much...
He kept leaving the bars to avoid them.

he only left one bar due to hatred. he must have done something to those guys before he left for manhattan, or perhaps they were just jealous that he made it out of that depressing town. the next bar he left was one of those extra depressing bars where only a couple regulars spend every night. the third bar he left cause he found some tail.

I don't think the guys in the bar hated Jim, I think Jim just really didn't want to talk to anybody he used to know because he looks at returning home as shameful. The guy said "a-- hole" because he was being one.

Casey Affleck's Jim Character was so annoying! I would not doubt everyone in that town hated him! I know I feel like giving him a good beating from the way he treated his family. What a weakling. great film but very poor disapointing ending.
