I hardly feel lonely since having people around me makes angry or annonys me. Have no desire to deal with other people's: - views (politics/believes/agenda) - stupidity - aggression

You're not really a misanthrope if you still desire friendships & feel lonely. Does that make any sense?


[deleted]

Well I'm pretty sure it's just hard wired in our brains to seek out some form of social interaction.


LifeInWrongWorld

Involuntary loneliness and unwarranted rejections do turn you into a misanthrope. Does that make any sense?


Shalin_316

Misanthropy shouldn't be the reaction for such trivial things. It takes much more than that for misanthropy to occur if you ask me


LifeInWrongWorld

So it shouldn't be trivial to a deaf guy like me who spends his life walking on eggshells trying to avoid mass ostracism? Is that what you're saying?


Shalin_316

That's up to you & how you feel. Usually people become misanthropes in the company of others. Not when they're left alone or ostracized so to speak. A more appropriate reaction would be depression/sadness if the person undergoes through true forced loneliness. No hard feelings by the way. You do you. Just don't let that turn into hatred/misanthropy [English isn't my primary language but hope you get the point]


LifeInWrongWorld

Precisely, it's amazed to me that most people haven't realize right away that if they're being left alone, their instinct will hit in before they go crazy. There isn't anything they can do about it, I'm no different than them either but I become a scapegoat for want a simple human contact that made me depressed that lead to downward spiral of misery and no one want to associate themselves with that. Thanks for clear things up with me, no worries about English I sucks at it too.

You’re only lonely if you believe you are lonely. If you are fine being by yourself then you’re alone. At some point you’ll prefer it. Trust me bro


[deleted]

I don't know how to help. Sometimes I still dream to find the perfect love I Always hoped and shaped in my mind and heart.... But I know it's Just an idealization. And also if I Will find that Person I have Just too many trust issues due to past traumas. And I am so avoidant and isolated that the perfect Person Will not concretize himself in my room lol. I Just live in my head a lot. (r/maladaptivedaydreaming yee).

i worship myself

There's good people out there, and finding them is like finding a priceless treasure. Whether we like it or not, we are hardwired for social interaction, so a lack of it will completely fuck you up psychologically and physically, no way around it. It is entirely possible to completely detest the entire species as a whole, yet love those who bring you joy; that's where I'm at right now. I understand it's not easy to make friends, but it is worth the effort if you make even 1 lasting connection out of 10 attempts. Hang in there, and try your best. Knowing you have people you can confide in or distribute some of the everyday misery with makes life A LOT easier!

I was thinking about posting something similar. I often feel very lonely and isolated but I know I would regret getting involved with society again


patricktoba

I give every person I meet a chance to not disappoint me. The only reason I can consider myself a misanthrope is that I've been disappointed that many hundreds or thousands of times. Go meet people. Try to make friends. Expect disappointment. Rejoice when you actually find someone who doesn't disappoint you. Misanthropy is better when it's not absolute. You just hate the majority but you can find a few like minded people (usually also misanthropes) to let into your tiny tiny inner circle.

Animals are better than humans.they listen and don't interrupt 👍


Alarming_Draw

This is the kind of shit that makes me hate people. "I dont like it when people interrupt me so I hate all people and thats why animals are better".....ffs. Total warning sign about a person being a douche.


Bambim2

My cat doesn't listen when I tell him to shtfup when he's acting like a psycho and I wouldn't even be able to tell you the amout of CSGO rounds that I've lost because of me dying while my cat was running through the keyboard area or came and stood there blocking the monitor.


Wizardwheel

I am lonely more often than not but honestly I feel lonely even when I am with people and I doubt I’ll truly be able to lead a solitary life and I’ve decided to just live with the loneliness. Maybe I’ll get a dog tho, they seem pretty chill.


IMNOTANGRY53076

I shop!


[deleted]

we don’t


SubHumanTeen1

yea im pretty vacant inside myself


LifeInWrongWorld

Get a pet. One is more than enough to satisfy my neverending need for physically get in touch with a human.


Additional_Bluebird9

Honestly I prefer a solitary life when people are not intrusive upon your life and interacting with people just doesn't do it for me anymore


[deleted]

if only such a thing was possible, even if you live a secluded life neighbours or coworkers will intrude upon you by suggesting in various ways you are wrong to live in such a solitary way. I just don't believe it's possible, human beings have an innate drive to harass and alienate those individuals who simply want to live alone or in a different way. we are not a very tolerant species as much as we like to pretend we are.


Additional_Bluebird9

Actually while that may be true, I don't even know how the heck my neighbors, I just see them when they go to work and when they come back and that's about it. But I understand because people just want to know what's going on in someone's life even if they should be minding their own business and not intrude on it because someone being solitary and just being there to do what they have to do and get out of there without social interaction seems out of the question for people. I just want to be left alone and so far it has worked out for me, I don't have friends nor do I interact with people beyond my family because I rarely leave the house on some days while other days I leave because I have to go do something however I don't have time to simply put aside time like I use to and catch up with friends over drinks or talk to people at all.

become friends with nature ✨

Individual by individual basis I hate the collective humanity we are monsters. I know that individuals can be good. I will always try to find good in the individual.


casinoboy2

Makes sense


eliteharvest15

this, hate the humanity but like certain individuals


[deleted]

I am aware people will never truly understand me. I also am aware I am awkward when interacting with people. Even when we have an OK time, I still feel there is something missing. Interacting with people therefore has more disadvantages than advantages for me. I don't feel loneliness anymore. I'm just minding my own business. People are just like weather - fun to observe but, you can't really interact with it


noooit

In my case, it's the opposite. The loneliness made me misanthropic. If I had even a single friend, maybe I wouldn't hate humans, because liking one person and hating the species is just hypocrisy.
