Pretty much what the title says. If I'm taking a walk, or going for a jog, I instantly feel very angry (as in I'd like them to die kind of angry) if anyone happens to be on the same path as me. Or, heck, even on the other side on the street. Honestly, just for being there. Which means I'm annoyed most of the time, because even though I try to go out at a time where not many are out, there's almost always a couple people there.

I know it's irrational. When I go home, I think how awful it is for me to think that way - they probably have family and friends that would suffer horribly if they died. They're just out there doing there own stuff, like I am. How could I ever wish death upon someone? Their life is a precious thing, wanting it to end for my own issues is disgusting, etc.

I'm not sure but I think it might be a coping mechanism for my anxiety issues. Before I used to feel really nervous and/or uncomfortable if I saw people when I had to go out for groceries, but since I made a conscious effort to go outside, exercise, and talk to friends more the fear has turned into anger. It's a very silly feeling, with a self-centered kind of "how dare they have to exist right now and give me all of this shit" logic to it. (How is it their fault I'm like this?)

IIN? I'm thinking of seeing a therapist about all this in the future. Should I? Any other advice would be seriously appreciated.

    In my humble opinion it sounds like you've had a lot of bad experiences with people that have intensified your anxiety and anger. Seeing a therapist who specializes in anxiety and social phobia would be a great help to you I think.

    You're an antisocial. Seeing a therapist means giving over a hundred dollars an hour to someone just to talk to them and to beg for them to abuse their ability to issue prescriptions for medications that won't help you.

    Once you're paying through your nose to keep the therapist going on monthly exotic vacations, and through your asshole to pay drug companies to make more mind-control pills, your faith in humanity can only decrease.

    As much as the 1% would like to have you think, people are not just interchangeable social and economic units. We're different. Even if we're the same color and have the same religion, we're different. Even brothers and sisters are different. Not everybody can be or is even supposed to be a social butterfly who loves everything and everyone.

    Don't throw away your uniqueness because it's not "normal". As long as you're functional, productive and satisfied in reaching your life goals, nobody should get in your way to tell you you're doing something wrong by being different. If you don't like to hang around with people, that's fine too. There is absolutely nothing wrong with you, and if anyone tells you there is, flip 'em the bird for me.
