generally...I don't like people

why do i want to be alone?
i don't hate people but i don't like people. the only people i like is my wife and children. could care less about the rest of the world. my wife gets mad because i don't want to go out. i get maf because she will not go on vacation (just me and her
today is the ou/texas game and i did not go to the parrt, did'nt want to be around all those people.
)

If you really don't like people you could think about being thankful to the guy that didn't cover his mouth. After all his germs will go about ridding the world of idiots who don't have good enough higine to protect themselves from desease.

I decided I don't wanna be around um. That's why I stay on graveyard shift. Could make alot more taking the day supervisor position. Told them they couldn't offer me enough to switch. Wifey's miffed that I won't take it. She'll get over it. As long as she doesn't get back at me by dieing first. . .that would just kill me. What a paradox.

this sucks. you suck. the world sucks. this site sucks, it has to be the worst site in the world

I once thought I liked people, but now I realized that I only like people for what they can do for me. Now, I fully understand why I don't like other people.

It's kinda fun to not have to give a shit about the rest of the world. GUYS, YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN!!

YOu don't have the BURDEN of thinking that everything's your fault and that everybody needs help. Maybe your co-workers, but that's not the point and it is strictly business!

i just don't like people because in my opinion the're all stupid and annoying.

Mate, I work at a service station. I see the best and the worst of people. I see the worst of human stupidity - like a man who decided to smoke whilst filling up his car. I also have people who assume that I'm a frickin mind reader, and can't even tell me if their card is credit, savings or cheque, then get pissed off when I ask. I get pompous pricks who talk in condescending tones, because clearly the fact that I work at a service station must mean that I'm of low intelligence, lazy, and unmotivated. It has nothing to do with the fact that it fits in with my university schedule, and pays reasonably. Furthermore, I have people who can't even explain what they want. I had a guy tonight who gave me $57.50 in notes and change for a $36.50 purchase. I could not even understand the man because he had a thick accent. But when I finally worked out that he wanted me to give him a $20 note and a $1 coin, he said "What can't you count?". I don't think I've ever been so insulted in my life. If he had said when he gave me his money "Could I just get a $20 note and a $1 coin out of that." I would've said "Yeah sure. No worries." Instead, he was too lazy to open his mouth and explain what he wanted. I assumed that he wanted to purchase something else, accounting for the extra $21 he'd given me. I've also had people who blame us for EFTPOS down time like it's our fault, or blame us for the fact that they had to wait in line when 20 people pulled into the store to get fuel and another 10 came in to get random crap. Quite frankly, I don't give a flying fuck if they're in a hurry. If they were in a hurry, they wouldn't've stopped to get fuel at a service station which is packed to the brim. It's not my problem that they can't plan their lives well. Alot of these people would have no idea what our job entails, and the demands that are placed on us. The stress that is involved in having to fill out police form after police form because of arseholes who drive off without paying makes our job just that little more difficult. And having to try to serve customers whilst authorising pumps making sure we don't accidently authorise a car with no number plates (it happened tonight, but I picked up on it before he started pumping and stopped his pump). And what happens when we do get a drive off? We have to explain how we let it happen. How we let it happen? We let it happen because we didn't hunt down and kill the theiving scumbags who do that kind of shit. We see a fair cross section of society in our role, from hookers to company CEO's, and I will tell you, very little of its good.

I didn't like people when I was younger. I took everything personal. Later I learned to understand why they act like this. I feel sorry for them because most of them came from a crapy family .
Most of the parents have no time to educate their children the right values. Making money becomes more and more important for them.
The people become more and more rude.
Children become fat or too thin. Parents are no role models any more. Crazy movie or rock stars are.
They don' know how to behave anymore. Every body hurts each other.
They think: If I can get something from you I will be nice otherwise back off.
When I grew up we respect each other.
The parents guided their children and not the teachers. They sat down for lunch and dinner with their kids to discuss the day and values. I feel sorry for a society who poison their kids with drugs to calm them down and feet them with junk. The parents are to busy with themselves to teach them the right manners.
No wonder we all will hate each other in the future.

The society is a bunch of uneducated people with no respect for each other. Money is all they want.
They give a shit of good behavior and values.
In the future they will all hate each other.

I care about people, at least on a collective basis (the world, the nation, etc.), but I don't like people much myself, nor do I particularly care about people on an individual basis (save my immediate family). Personally I think most people are ignorant fools. Time spent at various web forums has only solidified that position. I don't think that necessarily makes me closed minded. I'm open to views different from mine as long as they're not arrogantly stated and rooted in ignorance.

I dont like people and i dont like living. I just survive not badly, i am not of a poor health and have enough money to live decently. I fill my time with hobbies which dont involve other people. People bore me, i dont have family and dont have many friends but even they make me tired and i cant say i enjoy their company either but i try to be good to them because they are good to me. I also am getting fed up with Jesus talks and the church hollabaloo. I am a christian but what I see is the God has power only in heaven but the king in the world is satan. I dont believe in that anything would last like me being in relationships. I had a dozen girlfriends which some of them were long term, some I broke their heart and some broke mine but what I learned about myself is that I am so selfish. I don’t like people or don’t know how to communicate with them, because if I stayed true I’d offend them with my attitude or my face which would show I don’t like them, they bore me and so forth and if I treated them well it would just be a cover up. I dont want getting married because i have this obsessive behaviour about my arty hobbies as well as about anything i put my mind to and till it is solved i have no peace and if it involves other peoples communication I get angry if things get stuck, so having a wife and children could end up in a multiple murder. On the top of it : whats the point of bringing children into this rotten, corrupt and more and more dangerous world? Anyway, relationships make me see how useless person I am because I always put my peace first otherwise I am no good at all. nobody could like me if they found out how trully and deeply selfish person I am. Sad thing is that suicide wont benefit me either, I'd miss my hobbies. Sometimes I wish there were no people in the world just myself and my hobbies. People just bother me I cant help it. I the past I tried to change several times tried very hard for long like months and years and it just proved that I cant change, there is an evil part in me which is not possible to be cleansed. So I prefer to be on my own even though it doesn make me happy

Most of you people are the most depressing people I have ever come across

It wouldn't bother me if a plague wiped out 99% of the people on the earth. I haven't met to many people that are worth the oxygen they breath.

i agree with all you say, most people suck.

To 456XYZ...
I don't know why I am posting to you...but somehow your words really resonated with me. I think you should not fel bad about being selfish. you may have autistic tendencies. Just enjoy your hobbies and don't listen to the asses here that are bringing you down.
People are creepy....and wonderful....but ALWAYS selfish!!!

i used to love people... but i dont anymore... its like... i dont get excited... and i dont feel like i want attention either... but it is really bad because i need to smile when i work...and living in this world means that i need to deal with people... but when i see people i get this wierd feeling...

I feel like this too, have to pretend to like people and their tendencies. I think it might have something to do with the fact that before civilization and these immensely complex societys we have created we were creatures that lived in small groups. We're all on top of each others these days - metropolitan areas, cities, etc. It's not natural for us to be in each others faces all the time in my opinion. I find that just watching everybody around me when I go out does my head in, as they all appear so stupid. It makes me feel like i'm above them, possibly not part of the same race. In fact, I pray that the mother ship comes for me and takes me to a utopia where we actually solve the problems in front of us FIRST, rather than create unneccessary crap. Believe it or not, this is the short version!!

I CAN'T STAND PEOPLE! i luv this site because i thought i was the only one who has no patience for other people's crapola. I have found most people to be selfish, self-serving and dishonest but hey one day i might be surprised and be proven wrong.....highly unlikely though

I don't like people either. I used to like people before but I got hurt. It's too much for me to deal with people now. I really tried to like people and not get frustrated but people always let me down and I can't take it anymore.

So are we MISANTHROPES? I personally don't wish for the extinction of all humankind, just the inconsiderate ones, who insist on crossing boundaries. Seems I've gotten to a point in my life where I have VERY little patience and/or tolerance for people who feel its OK to impose their life details to me, just because I happened to be nice to them, or help them out. I genuinely enjoy helping anyone, when I can. I don't think twice about it. I enjoy practicing "random acts of kindness". It makes ME feel good...and in turn, hopefully it makes that person feel good enough to pass it on. And thats all. Assist/help when needed and then move on with my life. Just because I helped them, doesn't give them the right to, in turn, tell me the details of whats up in their lives, or how bad it is for them. I didn't ask them for such details. Yet all of a sudden I'm like their closest friend or family, and they want to "hang out" with me, or invite me to their functions. Noooo thank you! I don't appreciate being forced to listen to the details of their lives. I don't appreciate being drug into their melodrama and being made to show sympathy, as if now I'm some kind of kindred spirit to them. I wish I could tell them that, but I do not. After helping someone out and then i'm forced to listen to their life stories, I just smile and listen and pretend I care, when most always, I COULD CARE LESS, and all the while, I'm looking for an "out", so as to excuse myself and leave!

So. Because I have the tendency to be too empathetic, I get swallowed up by their life stories, their sharing of experiences, that sometimes caused me some painful situations. After so many years of these repeated occurances, I evolved into an introverted misanthrope, and distrust people. I know, it sounds like a total contradiction to be very empathetic AND yet very distrustful.
Its just so disappointing when other people don’t show the same sensitivity in return, or toward others.
