I don't like most people....

Good people are VERY hard to find. I suppose in childhood I was unfortunately lulled into believing that most people in the world were good at heart and would treat me with respect as long as I did the same in return. But such a notion has steadily gone out the window right along with other naive childhood fantasies. There are good people out there, but for the most part you'll encounter people who don't care too much for you unless you're giving them something. Or you're very good looking. People always seem to love talking to those people.

I suppose it's mainly because of the way the world works today. We all live such individualized lives and none of us has a clue as to how to treat strangers any more. So we rarely make new friends and we don't even bother saying hello or smiling at people we pass on the street. We're all just strangers to one another, unworthy of each other's respect, interest, or caring. I know at least here in America today people are educated from a young age to be rather narcissistic and competitive. So that leads to a culture of people so stuck on themselves that they treat everyone else like they're lower on the totem pole somehow.

I can totally relate to that.

I don't like most people.

It's very difficult to articulate. The only way I can explain it is this. I always listen to my conscience. My conscience always makes me aware of suspect individuals. It has never failed me. However I have failed my conscience. I ignored it one day (due to being drunk), and discovered various items missing in my unit. To be frank. I got robbed. Not a nice feeling.

I find it very hard to trust people, there are many good people out there but sadly a lot of people, especially in the work place are ready to backstab you. It's a sad world we live in :roll:

We should all embrace a new environment . It is going to happen wether you like it or not. If u don't like the future..... Just tell us why?????

I'll quote Dr. Cox from Scrubs here.
People are bastard coated bastards with bastard filling.

the only place i tend to find good people is at school. at work (waiting tables) i tend to not care about or blatantly dislike most people. half of the customers are just fine but the other half are ghetto, rude, demanding, unappreciative, and cheap. it is very disheartening to kiss their ass and have them turn around and not tip you after racking up a hundred dollar tab. (that means i just paid money out of my own pocket to kiss their ass because i still have to tip out at the end of the night to the hosts). eat shit and die.

(sorry i needed to vent)

So in conclusion, I think I like people who only care to like me/or others in general as well... and find this logically sound... as those who do not care or not willing to get along with others (by showing it in their behavior) is just impossible. They might change their minds... but I think it's a selfish thing to try to make someone change it.

I think those of us with SA appear to be this way to other people.

When I meet new people, I don´t usualy make opinions of them, am friendly and wait what the time brings. If they don´t look trustfully, I don´t show them but am cautious. I always tend to look for the good things in everybody, ask about their lives etc. It is interesting to find out what they are like, what are their hobbies, opinions, work.. The sad fact also is, that many people are unfair, liars, manipulative, egoistic, aggresive either directly or indirectly.. I can take a lot but when somebody is rude in some way or crosses the line or is not treating me right I don´t hesistate to say what I think. By my critic I never mean to offend the person because for me everybody is equal and valuable, but unfortunately these people usualy take the critics personally so the person is lost. Generally it is demanding to be among a lot of people, it can be psychically draining. As I said I tend to look for goodness in people but ocassionaly there are times when I keep receiving one bad treatment after another, then when I go out I feel like everybody on the street is a crook.
Sorry for my english I am not english as you can see.

people are very receptive to energy people give off. body language, tone of voice everything we as people pick up. if you dont like people, your most proberly giving that off in your body language and tone of voice etc people aint gonna like you when you dont like them. therefore dont complain if no one likes you. would you like someone who doesnt like you?
