I don't like people

I've come to realize that I really don't like people. Most people are ok, as long as you don't have to see them much. It's a very rare person that is amazing and good company, but most of you are just boring dumb and annoying as fuck without an original thought in your thick little skulls. I've tried to like humanity god knows, but the more I get involved with you people the more I hate you.
You all seem pretty like laid-back intelligent people here on the Shroomery, hiding behind your little avatars and I enjoy swapping witty banter with you guys, but I know for a fact that if I were to meet your smelly pimply ass IRL I'd hurl chunks.
Fuck it's a good thing I don't care much about animals either or else I'd probably turn into an antisocial cat-hoarder.

I've had the same feelings (not quite to that extent but along the same lines), and I find the best way to put things into perspective is to judge yourself with the same attitude and thoroughness. Unless you're one of the few amazing people who shine through the dull existences most of us lead, then you're only the teapot calling the kettle black. Chances are you're just as boring and stupid as everyone else, the only difference being that other people doesn't presume to be so high and mighty as to judge everyone else by ridiculous standards and hold themselves on a pedestal.

OP here, I'm as bad as any of you. Doesn't make me like you (all of humanity, including myself) any better.
In fact seeing my own shortcomings in you is a large part of what makes me hate you. The fact that the first response is the most predictable argument from pop-psychology just proves my point.

So you've realized that humanity as a whole is far from perfect. Congratulations, you've just undergone something that nearly every semi-intelligent person realizes by age 12-18.
Now continue living your boring life along with the rest of us, Mr. Average

I like how every respondent seems to want to defend humanity.
The worst trait of humans is that they keep poking their noses into eachother's business. And the smell. Boy do they stink. Learn to use soap people!!!
I didn't realize this yesterday, I did realize it rather late, around 20 I guess,I was a hopeless romantic, but that's already 25 years in the past. I grow to hate humans more and more every day.

I responded twice to the OP. 'Defend' humanity from what? The obvious fact that we're not perfect? Everyone knows this, no one's treading new ground here. The OP is obviously just assuming his basic human thoughts and observations are in some way significant. They are not.

Alright, Mr. Anderson.

Human interaction will probably constitute 90% of your life, so I hope you realize that focusing solely on our faults will only degrade your life experience exponentially and make you feel like shit

my first instinct was to agree with you here. there are definitely a lot of people here i never hope to meet, just as there are many who would never want to meet me. however, those who i have met and kicked it with, and either welcomed into my home or been accepted into theirs, have been very cool and real people; some with families and others without. i am very thankful for the friends i have met from here. and yes, if i had to see them every day i probably wouldn't be as thrilled about it, but that applies for everyone including my mother and brother.

a) we are animals, no need to go boosting your ego by separating yourself from the rest of them, b) other animals are great because they don't speak our language and generally don't judge us. they are much closer to epitomy of true companions, imo; so long as you look out for their well-being that will be reciprocated

They're trying to teach you that you will see in humanity whatever you look for, dumbass. That's why the girls don't like you.
And the worst trait in humanity is self-righteousness.
If you think humanity is indefensible, then do something about it. Kill yourself.

This is actually a myth, but it becomes a self-fulfilling belief. As long as you see people in terms of their faults, you are not good company. Even if you don't make a negative comment, people will sense your animosity and will reflect it with their own abrasive behavior.
The truth is, everyone has goodness in them, and also shittiness. The one that's on the surface usually reflects what they get from others.
When you offer people kindness in spite of their faults, they will find it almost impossible to continue to be abrasive. The good qualities will manifest in them. Most people want to receive good treatment before they give it, and this is why so many of us are stuck in this cycle of aversion. Those who buck that trend become happy people rather quickly.
It is so difficult for people to give anything without demanding anything in return, but when they do, amazing things happen. Humanity changes before your eyes.

I don't know guys. I really don't like the majority of people either. I think there is a huge amount of people who just don't get it. They are all about getting fucked up and could care less about people. I just don't have the time to waste on people who are only out for whatever they can get.
There's some special, wonderful people in the world but they are few and far between. Why should we waste time and effort on the losers?
P.S. I'm drunk

agreed, this is how i feel most of the time. but then again, what is "right" for one is not necessarily "right" for another. we all have to make our own ways in the world. some never see past the material, fast-food, mtv/cable television life. in theory, that's okay because that's how our species has grown to develop, which, as much as i hate to admit it, is a part of our natural progression (it has taken me almost 3 years to accept this)
and yes, there are wonderful special people in the world as there are horrible, entirely selfish people in the world willing to fuck anyone over just to achieve what they want. however, this is merely my/our view of them. there are infinitely other views of these people beyond our scope

p.s. i'm drunk too

also, i've recently realized that one has to look out for themselves, otherwise it's a guaranteed way to get fucked in life. therefore, i'm no better than these people, i just act/live in a different way and have different goals/ways of thinking about things

OP here, thanks for the intelligent responses to my little rant. I don't feel this way usually, but I felt that I needed to let my Id run wild for a bit.
Yeah meeting one of those really good people is a humbling experience. It makes me realise that I can be an asshole sometimes. The "That's why the girls don't like you" comment made me laugh out loud. It's probably true.

Concentrate on meeting the good sides of everyone you meet, rather than meeting the good people. Very few people are wholly bad, or wholly good. It just seems that way because we judge too fast.
You can accomplish this by being nicer to people than you might feel like, and forgiving the bad parts. It's worthwhile.

Why is it compulsory to like people? Time spent away from others seems to me the most valuable time.
For me it's easy to feel bored and lonely being among other people. Being alone never feels lonely, there is just too much to do and think about.
