Is it normal to hate people

I'm really not sure where to start but i think it was when i left the Army at 26, i swore that whatever i did in life i would be the best, i had so much fire in my belly, so much ambition, i got a job working as a security officer and within 3 years had three large sites 16 people beneath me and earning 25k plus.
Iwas always a happy go lucky type of guy always a bit of a joker and a cheeky chap. About 3 years into my employment things started to feel differently, i was starting to have mood swings, i didn't want to be around people and i started to feel guilty about my service in the Gulf.
I saw my doctor and of course he diagnosed me with depression putting me on pills, my head was all over the place, i couldn't be around people , i wasn't sleeping and this affected my work eventually leading to me losing my job as i was letting my guys go early so i was left alone.
Ithink the annoying part of that was not one of them backed me or supported me, I had even employed a few of them.
I got another job as a recreation centre manager but that also didn't work out, i was always so anxious and the panic attacks started one of the worst feelings i had ever had, i thought i was going to keel over any minute.
Because of this i eventually lost my wife, my daughter and my home, i was devestated and felt so alone. I shut myself away, i felt i couldn't converse with anyone i felt such a failure, how could this happen to me.
I met my current partner at a family party, she understands me and i git on well with her two children and she eventually fell pregnant.
The problem is now i see everyone with hate and distrust and i cannot seem to drop these barriers, i find it hard to socialise, and often feel i have no worth.
I am the oppisite to what i was 14 years ago and really don't know where to go from here, I sometimes feel like a schoolboy entering the big bad world for the first time but have no support off anyone as i can't let anyone into my life because of these feelings.
I really want to start again but feel lost. Am i to blame for the way i feel.

  • i hate being around people when people come to visit i try to get them out the door as quick as possible or not open the door at all i try not to go out in the past 2 years i have prob being out the door about 7 times if even that and when i am around people i will only talk to people i know i keep my month closed when a stranger is around.
    so hating people is normal and is common sometimes you just want to be alone.

    I am a Navy veteran. I was never in war but that's what they do to you in bootcanp is brainwash you. Some people want to stay in because they think its the only thing they have. Me I got over it and moved on because I didn't want anybody to tell me when to eat sleep or go to the head. And I didn't like their strict rules. Try to be more leniant with yourself. Do things that you enjoy doing. Maybe let your hair go long or don't shave might help.

    Dont hate people cause they dont support you. Hate people because theyre people. And what are you crying for? That your life didnt turn out like you wanted it to? Join the fucking club. Man up and deal with it.
