it grows, gets deeper every time I appear in the public. misanthropy isn't something you acquire in a weeks-amount of time. it takes awhile, and then the misanthrope knows that he/she was not meant to just resist the bad in people. I understand and respect your response, for I know most people don't have a problem with the public and how people are. but I can assure you, it is difficult for me to just oversee the filth, and how many there are. and so, I fall into the category of "misanthrope", just as people who have difficulty with public speaking fall into the category of "socially anxious". being misanthropic, I would obviously say that it is right, but I know it isn't for everyone.
