Is i normal to deteste most humans?

Throughtout most of my life, I have always considered myself as a seeker of happiness and just someone looking for friendships and interpersonal relationships. But lately as i'm starting to reach my mid 20s, I can honestly admit that I have almost completely lost that drive. Its probably because reality has sunk in and my days of youth are almost over. I now realise the sugar coating of youth and being happy were just a rare feelings (which I wish lasted forever, but oh well) that I wont ever feel again. Since I now have to deal with some problems in he world which many children do not, I have been ruined by the reality of things.

Whats worse is that I feel like to suceed, I have to have prominant social groups with people whom I cant even stand. And even when I go to places, I see people working in stores and they all look miserable and noone is truly happy. People seem to rub the wrong impressions on eachother and it just something I cannot stand about humans.

It seems too that the majoritty of people's interests and needs are just something I deem useless. They all seen to value possessions and popularity instead of knowledge and progress. Their goals are pretty annoyingly superficial, in most cases. And whats worse is that in this day and age they all seem to be somewhat brainwashed by the media and sort of lose the ability to think for themselves to what they actually want in life.

Due to that, and after a few attempts to tolerate this, I now wish to live in a quiet places away from people preferably in a place with fields and fresh air. I cannot deal with how some people today are.

But I do admire some, ofcause. Just not enough to make me love life around others.

    I'm in my mid 20s too and feel the same way. I live in New York where there's people everywhere so it's impossible to avoid people.

    People annoy me so I try my best to avoid them.

    Its the same conclusion i came to when i hit my 20,s. So since i could not find any place to go to (far from society), i live in my room, and only go to work of course or how else am i going to survive. I also want to go to a place with green fields but i dont know how. If you have any idea please share it with me, i would humbly appreciate them. I really feel trapped here.

      Hi, how old are you and are you a guy or a girl? I'm about to disappear into the land and I'd really like someone else with a similar mindset with me.

            I am serious but there have to be more people, i mean it would be wierd with just two people. And its easier for guys to survive in jungel then it is for girls (with our the monthly peiods). I mean what is your plan? Is it even possble?

              I'm heading to North Eastern Europe in late January, I have a house and two acres of land. The nearest neighbours are a 1/4 mile away and the village is two miles away with a population of 1200. The place is totally off grid.
