General hate for many people

Post Reply New Topic

Yeah, I feel that way a lot, too. Just general irritation and annoyance towards most everybody. I think it has to do with the fact that we can't filter out background noise- we take everything in, all the time. Neither can we simply focus on the issue at hand- we easily get distracted and involved in accessory stimulus.

For me, there's a real disconnect between myself and NTs, because I'm very logical and literal. I'll hear so many people talking about things as if they understand them, when they've obviously never done enough research to have a real opinion on it. I tend to err on the side of caution when I talk about subjects where I don't know all the details.

Or I'll marvel at the lengths people will go fit a certain category- goth, hippie, intellectual, jock, etc. I understand why people do this, but I can't relate at all.

I often remind myself that this is simply human nature- being such social creatures, it makes perfect sense that people would try so hard to fit in, in whatever way they can. And fitting in means putting up with and perpetuating certain bullshitty things from time to time.

Blocking people out, physically, can help. So things like music, earplugs/noise-canceling ear buds, that can help. Sometimes, I simply close my eyes when I'm around other people, because just the stuff people WEAR can get on my nerves. I'm on two different medications that decrease my overall irritability, too, although I'm considering trying something else because sometimes these feelings can get so intense and it worries me. I am a very compassionate person and I wish everybody the best, but the level of immaturity of people my age (early twenties) can be hard for me to bear.

(Oh, and there's also this- I can't figure out how to imbed images, so Here's the link to an awesome picture.

Your avatar makes this 100% better. That's so something Sherlock would say.

Amen! It's like the mental equivalent of symbolically sticking the crap out of a voodoo doll. It (probably) doesn't harm anyone, but the release of that energy sure makes you feel good.

TBH, sometimes yes, especially while driving. I don't know why, but it seems like most people like to be dickheads when they get behind the wheel, myself included.

I also hate it when people feel the need to be loud and obnoxious when my energy is low.

I feel this aggression from time to time but it has calmed down for me a lot within the past few years. My teenage years were filled with large amounts of anger toward peers and strangers. They would always poke fun at me in school saying I was the type to go on a crazy homicidal rampage. I guess they came to this conclusion based on my outward anger displays and being largely non-verbal.

I feel I've come to hate people. It's nothing personal, I would never hurt anybody, and I will be polite to people who are being nice and friendly, and I will like them too, but I just mean the general public. I find people are so rude these days, and also people look boastful, and think they are better than everybody else, and judge people who aren't, and become horribly envious of people who are, and you just can't win today. I find women can be like this especially. They seem to turn a supermarket into some sort of a ''I'm better than you'' contest, and if you're not better than someone, you will know it, (if that's even possible, since there shouldn't be a Better or a Worse, everybody should have a right to be in a supermarket, if they are normal citizens who aren't doing anything to harm anyone). I mean, where has all the descency gone in people these days? I'm just glad there are some respect left, since I'm not saying everybody's like this. I'm certainly not. I go into supermarkets to get the things what I need, not to go around judging people if they don't quite meet the general social standards. If I wanted to do that, I'll go into a bar, where people purposely go to socialise and dress up and try to prove something.

People think they can jostle me, then when I react by glaring or tutting, they look at me like they wasn't expecting me to feel annoyed after being intentionally jostled out of the way. I feel like saying, ''well, what do you expect? Me to kiss at your feet, congratulating you that you've irritated someone today?''

No. I don't generally hate anyone. People don't have that much power over me. I schedule margin in my daily routines to compensate for unexpected events. I expect people to be selfish, greedy, and concerned about their own needs and wants. Try helping others succeed, invent something to improve efficiencies in traffic flow at the checkout, but don't complain about people being people. That is just as weird as complaining about how cold ice is, or how hot the sun is, or how round the planet is. Ants are slower than people, and not many have a complaint about it. If there are too many people at the store, go at a different time, or live where there aren't many people. Good luck.

here here! I agree. Misanthropy has been a slow learned response to the world around me beginning in 2nd grade and coming to terms with it after earning my 2nd BS degree (that is BS formal, not bs slang).

I do hate loud engines and people that own & abuse them outright without guilt about hating them.
I hate people who always assume:
(1) assume the worst of me (assume I'm plotting against them or thinking bad things about them), even when most of the time I'm in a benign or indifferent zone of feeling, or very focused on my work and couldn't care 2 cents about them; unless they interupt me, then I hate them
(2) assume they know what I'm thinking -- they always get it wrong because my facial expressions (or lack thereof) rarely match my thoughts.

Those are my top few reasons for feeling hate. Fortunately for them I have no interest on acting on the hate.
