"if you dont like wearing socks, dont wear them" is incorrect?

-싫어하다- to dislike/ to hate(also strong dislike, straight rejection to what you hate) -미워하다 - to Hate(strong dislike) -안 좋아하다-to not like(it's like mild dislike)

That's being too nitpicky, it's not incorrect to translate 싫어하다 as to not like in this context. Dislike and not like are synonyms.

Wow... I have no idea how I was supposed to understand any of this. How do I know who is being spoken to? There are no indicators of people, plus the sentence feels much more casual than I was trying to write. Someone please let me know if I'm losing the plot... Anything at all.

Korean usually omit subject and object in a actual conversation when sentance is about you and i because it is a situation that you can know it is about you and i by unverbal indicater(obious situation)

If the sentence doesn't specifically name anyone, then the context tells you who it's directed at. The end of the sentence shows that it's a command (don't wear them), so it's directed at the person you're speaking to. If that makes sense...

The -지 마세요 ending means it's an imperative sentence, which implies the "you" being spoken to. What were you trying to write?

Gerund honestly makes more sense to me than non asian learners cuz the concept is similar to my Language

I believe 'Don't wear socks if you hate them' should be also accepted.

*if you hate wearing them

'Do not wear them, if you hate wearing socks.' Is this wrong?
