Is there anyone else out there that hates people?

Question

Am I the only one that doesn't like people? I'm very anti social, but when I do decide to talk to people they turn out to be complete idiots who try to fight with me. I prefer to be by myself and not have any association with anybody. Is there anyone else who feels the same way I do. Is this normal?

Answer 1

Hey, join the "I hate people" club! Ironically our club warmly welcomes new members.

I think you just need to find the right people... the majority of people I find aren't too bright and have many irritating habits.

Answer 2

A person who has a profound dislike for and distrust of the human species is a "misanthrope." Being antisocial is not necessarily a part of misanthropy. You might try that word in quotes in a Yahoo! web search. Wikipedia has a good summary.

"Antisocial personality disorder" is a psychiatric condition and those diagnosed with it are considered abnormal. Try the words in quotes above in a Yahoo! web search; again wikipedia has a good summary.

Being shy or a loner is not necessarily abnormal. Some people, like the pioneers of the USA, preferred to be alone and when they were able to hear the sound of another family's "chop axe" they knew it was time to move on to less populated regions. Those who live isolated in rural settings get used to being alone a lot of the time and so don't develop some social skills or a need for company. They are not abnormal But you say you "HATE OTHERS."

Hate is a very extreme negative emotion. It can destroy one if allowed to predominate. Try, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/hate. IT will give you some reasons for hating others, how it is caused etc. In general it comes about because of a fear of others and/or past consequences of socializing with others.

Good luck in your overcoming hate, good mental health, peace and love!

You have a lot of intensity and you threaten others you sound like a tough chick though I think that means you have been through a lot it's not bad you just have to use the correct amount of leverage to get what you want from people, make up your mind do you truly want to use the people as tools and go further down the hole, or do you want to find reason to make others better, I myself do not believe in 80% of mental health and with a pharmaceutical corporation making trillions in similar competitive scale as oil tycoons I find it very easy to do so.

I believe there are a lot of people that seek attention and won't mind being labeled at all it give them belonging this people lack the ability to be themselves and they make up a huge part of our population.Maybe try getting involved in art or meeting people who are real intellectuals and this might shock you but that is very far away from a nerd/geek in the terms of they are way more close minded.An enlightened geek is just another way of saying cool person.

I don't think it's 'normal' to always dislike being in the company of people.. just as I don't think it's 'normal' to want to be around people 24/7.

Some of us are more sociable than others.. more extravert types may thrive more when they are around people.

Me personally? My experience is that I need a huge amount of 'alone-time' to digest and process the events or non-events of the day. Too much time spent around others drains me.

I find that people often don't understand my need to be alone and feel that my behaviour is anti-social or eccentric.. I find that if I use the 'I'm an only child..' line, it's easier for people to accept my need (pleas!) for a lot of space.

I have to say that most of the time, conversations with other people disappoint me. The emphasis is mostly on the superficial (this is often used as a tool of bonding) and although I do have time for this, I'd rather spend the bulk of my time and conversations focused on something that challenges me.

Do complete 'idiots' try to fight with me? Not often... but misunderstandings about my aloof behaviour can be arise. Women can be particularly bitchy... although men aren't too far behind in that arena. Sometimes people can interpret my behviour as snobbish and if they feel in someway rejected... they can actively REJECT me right back.

The dynamics of social behaviour are interesting. In sum, if I want to be around people, I prefer to be in the company of thinkers, rather than those who seek out company.. just to have some 'noise' in their lives.

Answer 5

It's quite common to dislike to being around people too much. I get 'peopled out' very quickly, and often enjoy spending some time alone.

Having said that, it's not normal to NEVER want to be around people. If you find people always treat you in a bad way, there is probably something in your behaviour causing it without you realising. For example, shyness sometimes seems like arrogance, and makes people treat you badly.

I would suggest that you try something new when you next see someone - make a conscious effort to smile a lot, and be friendly and talkative, even if you don't feel like it. You'll probably find they react a lot better. If you can train yourself to approach people in a way that makes it easy for them be nice to you, you might start to like being around them.

Answer 6

It's been my experience that if you get to know somebody well enough you will just wind up hating them, or they will just wind up hurting you. This has happened to me tons of times. It's happened with most of my family and some of my friends. That's why i try not to get to know my friends too well.
