Is it normal that being bullied made me hate people?

I was tortured throughout my childhood. I'm in highschool now and frankly I hate people. I'm a misanthrope and believe everyone is sadistic, including me. I don't think highly of women because they were jerks to me also. Those bullies that ridiculed me as a child have left their mark. So is this normal? I'm a guy if that matters btw.

    Yes.... Why did you believe this was abnormal. If you kick a dog enough doesn't it bite and become violent?People are the same way. If you treat someone bad enough long enough they might just grow up to be a jerk. Its simply logic. "Mess with the bull you get the horns". That means "fuck with someone long enough and they will fucking hurt you". So don't be a dick.

    Sounds normal to me. You are wrong in thinking that all people are sadists, but it's a reasonable assumption if you've been bullied a lot.

    Kids are generally jerks, although some of them may wisen up when they grow older..

    I know where you're coming from to an extent, but I was never that angry over the people that bullied me, I just thought they were losers. They didn't like it that they knew it didn't really affect me that much. Back when I was in high school I was a lot more socially awkward than I am now and it made me an easy target for bullies. But they were normally idiots and I could outsmart them with my wit. Don't get me wrong I still have my problems, but I'm not so socially awkward anymore and could actually handle myself better now if it came to the encounter where I ever met them and they decided to try to bully me again. But I don't care anymore. Forgive and forget. They aught to be grown up now and more mature for being adults. Just don't let them walk over you.

    Don't become a misanthrope. It could lead you down some very dark and miserable paths. It's fairly normal that you hate people. Most people are idiots, but they're still innocent and they haven't done anything to hurt you. Not EVERYONE is a bully, so don't punish the people who you don't know. For all you know, these people you hate may have been bullied, sexually abused or otherwise when they were young. Don't commit the crime for which you now suffer the sentence!

    its logical but not normal. you should try and put for some sort of effort to your social well-being.
    your social needs are actually very important, though they tend to be neglected
