Hello Dean some of what I translated was not directly translated word for word .like sentence 3 , I used clauses, added conj, interjection, instead of using several articles at once. that help make sentence smoother and people can read it more easily.

I think your sentences are good and any Chinese people can understand what you were saying. But they feel a little bit odd.

1.By 'you are good', I think you mean 'you are a good person'
你是个好人,所以我喜欢你。
2.你知道我为什么喜欢你。
3.虽然你讨厌我,但你应该去试着理解我为什么会那样做。
Although you hate me, you should try to understand why I behaved like that.
4.你跟我说过那些话让我发疯。

1st, you need a conjunction to link two independent clauses.

Hello Dean,

"You are good to me so that I like you " is not a correct sentence in English . You can rather say:
" I like you because you are good to me".
"You are good to me ,therefore I like you "

"You who hated me try to understand why I acted like this".
not "how I acted ".
