Has social isolation made you bitter?

[timidhorse]

I think it has made me a bitter person, I just see the negative in everyone. I mean, I do talk to those who initiate a conversation but beyond that I don't have much else say. I can give directions and whatnot. The only problem I have now is initiating on my own, but I have been so set in my SA ways I don't really WANT to. Even my own brother does not initiate conversations and right now he has no friends like me, he just keeps telling me "damned if you do, damned if you don't." When it comes to people. He will only hang out with other loners because he says people overall are superficial and cruel.

I also I'm starting to believe that there's less risk in speaking to someone when they try to initiate. I will never, I mean never speak to someone unless I have a needed question that they have to answer, which is rare.

Also, I heard about this person who at work would have people talk about him being anti-social, but when he started socializing, he felt people didn't want to talk to him and that they seemed to only respond to him because that's was the polite thing to do. Sometimes rushing a conversation or not being really into the conversation. I believe people only want to talk to people with similar interests. My own brother will only hang out with people who share things in common, maybe people with SA are the same way. Maybe we are just guilted into thinking we need to be social butterflies who get along with everyone. The truth is we won't get along with everyone that is why we should scout out people like us, to not be threaten with rejection

I don't trust anyone anymore, I know I can't generalize, but I don't know if it's the drugs, the pornography, the socialism that the media incuts at people, but everyone seems so selfish and cruel nowadays...

Even my mum was calling me a "son of a bitch" to her friend on the phone...

This is a strange world where everybody hates everybody, we killed god, and with him the meaning of life and humanity. We are just the sensitive part that want to believe that the the world can't be this way and need to take drugs and talk at social phobia forum about the fear we have about people treating us bad at the real world.

Like the Sentenced song says: "Go astray, the only way."

Don't worry. The human species won't last forever. No species lasts forever. Nature kills any species that goes too far.

Nonsense.

I can definitely relate to being bitter. I am better with it now, but I was really bad at feeling angry, frustrated and bitter at people in general. I have seen people call each other "friends" and then talk about each other behind their backs. I am better at socializing, because I don't want anyone to think that I am stuck up or better than anyone (which is the complete opposite of how I'm really am). I just used to think that socializing was such a chore or a difficult task, but now I am getting better with it. I still do have a long way to go!

Damn straight it has. People have called me a grumpy old man before and I'm in my twenties.

I pretty much instantly dislike everyone. I think even if i did cure SA i still wouldnt want to talk to people because i hate how people have to act to 'fit in' and i just see the worst in people. I would class myself as a misanthrope but i think it only stems from my own insacurities.

I do feel as if SA has contributed greatly to my shitty attitude about a lot of things, although I am trying to be a bit more positive about things.

I really have bad attutitude towards certain people when I see them and just do not like for no apparent reason. When I see happy well adjusted people I am very bitter towards them.
