Is it normal 2b a misanthrope and an empath?

I cant stand people but yet know I need them in order to survive (I guess) but also I am an empath which means I also feel their emotions even though I try to block it...

    I'm an empath too, and it's my personal opinion that humans are the worst thing to happen to this planet. Also we are barbaric and unnecessarily cruel to our own, and other species. Not only that, but we are cocky enough to think we matter more, and we are the dominant species.

  • Welcome to the club.
    I used to feel this way when I was younger.

    Since I've matured and :

    I've tried to be more positive and realize I can help people rather than loathe them for their ignorance.

    I've realized I'm gifted and should use my gift to benefit others not just be selfish and frustrated.

    Once you can make that change and honestly mean it your life will get a lot better.
    You'll actually start to enjoy your 'gift' and you'll enjoy helping others rather than scorning them for being less intelligent.

    As far as being an empath sure, you'll get used to that too. Like anything.

    Don't worry it gets better if you want it to.

      • Hi.

        Yeah the world can be both a beautiful rose or a thorny prick in your backside.

        A lof of it truly depends on your attitude and what you're giving out and who you're associating with.

            Yup, my life is very much the same way.

            What I've realized is the only person I like spending time with is the girl I'm fucking.

            That's about it.

            Everyone else pretty much annoys/bothers/leeches off of me.

    Maybe you're being flooded with too much emotion. Is it possible that you can't stand people because your tired of feeling their emotions? Also beware of psychic vampire types of people who can drain your energy.

    Reconsider trying to block empathy. You don't need to like every person, just because you can feel the pain of others.

    Being an empath is just hypersensitivity to the metaphysical link between all living things. And being a misan is totally normal in this day an age I think. Nihilism and elder misanthropy. Most The people that infect this planet don't deserve the air they suck down their always open mouths.
