Is it normal to be a misanthropic extrovert?

I don't think much of humans in general. I'm not going to go into detail too much, but I will say my opinion of humanity is very low.
At the same time I like to socialize. I like to party and interact with people including people who I have a negative opinion.
One reason I do this is because I get bored without them.
I have concluded that while I am stuck on this miserable planet, my only options are to interact with the humans, or live a boring life alone with no social entertainment.
Therefore I try to make the most of what I got.

      What about my description sounds sociopathic?
      I'm curious because I do get that often, but at the same time I don't like people getting hurt. I seem able to care about what happens to people too.
      I do have limited emotions though and even get irritated with other peoples emotions. I try to be tolerant though I still don't understand.
      Can a sociopath care about other peoples well being?

    Eh, people who incessantly lament disdain for others are just struggling with themselves and own personal perspectives of people and the world. Obviously no one forces people to endure socializing past necessity, yet some do quite often. If you're not making enough genuine connections or are enjoying company of others, it could be your own issue and lack of approachable demeanor. Even if you are approachable, there's something you're doing that is causing you to think you dislike being around people. Over analyzing, mentally, just caught up in your own thoughts/perspectives. I had the BEST friends, when I lived where I'm originally from and only found going out seemed "tedious", once the people were not of my personal preferences and not of much substance, like my closest friends, back home. It just sounds like you lack genuine friends or people around you that you enjoy being around, for more than face value.

    Not a psychopath. Not enjoying company other than avoiding being bored, or having a misguided view of "humans", humanity etc doesn't make anyone a psychopath. It just indicates a lack of real connection between people. Which is to the fault of specific types of people in the scenario. You just need friends, and a lifestyle that coincides with what appeals to you. I find most internally introverts who seem extroverted just overanalyze things and make any situation seem dull.

    I too would like to know if it's okay to be like that..I find myself in the exact same position. I feel isolated and cut ties with half as friends, now that I have lost most of my friends..I feel I'm the problem..I hate everybody as they dissapoint me very much..I'm also an extrovert. I feel like crying out, but I've got no person to understand this.

    As normal as it is to be any sort of misanthrope.
