do you hate people

I've really become a bit bitter over the years due to bad interactions with people, and it's really hard to turn these feelings off but I am getting there. I guess it's also negative self-image and overall unhappiness with where I am in life that feeds this bitterness and the wanting to shut myself off from people.

Anyway, I think in general, life is too short to spend it being miserable and hating people, no matter how bad people can be sometimes. There's always good ones out there too.

I'm terrified of people and dislike how badly we treat eachother.

I've only encountered one person in my life whom I disliked instinctively-- though I tried to give him a chance, I still just don't like him deep down in my gut.
haha

So, I don't like thinking I 'hate' people because hate is such a strong word and I try not to be judgemental or bitter about my overall experience with others.
I don't connect with people, generally.
Don't hate them, though. Just fear them.

I do hate lots of people. Ultimately i know that only hurts me but it's not an easy thing to change!

right, it is. but it's very hard at times. if we could just tell ourselves to feel a certain way & then we'd automatically feel that way, things would be much easier.

Haha. But I think we´ll run out of fresh air and water and polute the environment sooner than some asteroid crashes into us or before the sun stops shining.

That tends to be why I am a conservationist. I am optimistic on that front as well. As kids, my grandparents came to the US after World War 2 started to escape the advancing German forces and they tell stories of the way the US used to be. It was an ecological nightmare, by their accounts. We do better and better these days. Electric cars, solar cells, and so on. It is slow but it is getting better than it used to be.

Nobody wants to live in some polluted, irradiated, nightmarish, post apocalyptic hellscape ruled by cannibals in dune buggies where the last remnants of men fight over petrol. I would think most agree that conservation is a better path.

I have a friend online who is quite the opposite. Talking about super powers she said she wished she had the power to kill most people on Earth in order to preserve nature whereas I wanted the power to innovate the technology that would hasten out mastery over nature and ability to expand outwards faster. Guess it all comes down to perspective.

I don't hate people. On the contrary, I feel for them. But of course there are others who are harder to empathize with. And sometimes, I feel like it would be so much easier to simply not care, because if you care too much, you always end up getting hurt.

No, I just feel incredibly misunderstood by a lot of people. So many people probably think I'm a bitch because I don't start conversations with them, or basically ignore them. But that's just because of my anxiety.

There are still a lot of people who are incredibly ignorant about mental illness. They think of it as a thing you just 'get over'. It's not like that. I'm 20 (almost 21), and I've had this since I can remember. I've never felt 'normal', I could never communicate socially the way people are suppose to be able to. I know people say it's not genetic, but my dad suffers from the same thing. He's gotten better as he got older but he still suffers. So yes I believe in my case it's partly genetic.
