Is it normal to just dislike everyone?

7 Comments

I think I am a normal person. I have the same needs as everyone else i require love, friendship, etc. etc. The only thing is, i don't like anyone. And unlike most people who i assume don't like anyone either, put an act on to function in society. My problem is i can't do that. I find it extremely hard to accept people. I'm well read in psychology, anthropology, and other social and cognitive processes involving interaction. I just think it won't work if I evaluate myself because its a biased assessment cause it's just me. But back to the problem, does anyone else just not like anyone even though they wish they could. And if you do how did you go about fixing this problem of hating everyone. Also, i judge others very harshly. Mostly on self worth and confidence in themselves. I'm a confident person I just am not confident about my social interaction.

    I know exactly what you mean. I dislike a majority of people that I meet until I get to know them, and sometimes, after knowing people for a while...I start to dislike them too. Totally normal.

    You don't like anyone b/c you don't like yourself. That's psychology 101.

    You say: "i require love, friendship, etc. etc. ..." yet you can't give love and friendship? In other words, you say you can't be to others what you need them to be to you.

    Well I don't believe you. That is just a hypocritical and smug little conceit you are passing off.

    And the conceit is this: you feel entitled to what you would deny others: friendship, love and especially respect.

    Well nasty people end up living nasty lives. Enjoy it.

    I understand you in the way that practically everyone seems like a complete asshole. Some of my friends have done so many things behind my back, it's just ridiculous. I was more mature than him when I was elementary compared to him now and he's in highschool. I've always been nice to people and I've been taken advantage of by some people to buy them stuff..

    As someone here said, try to focus on the positives in people.

    I do feel the same way sometimes. Although I hang around with nice and caring people, who I call my friends, I just - how can I put this - don't feel right with them. Sometimes I get very frustrated when I'm with them, like I'm on a completely different wavelength or something, or they are too annoying or immature. I often try and escape and be by myself. It seems like I can only see peoples faults. I too have problems in social gatherings, to put it simply I hate most of them.

    I feel the same way-ish, in the sense that there are not very many people that I like. But it is a little odd to not "click" with anyone. I think that you're judging people too harshly, because obviously there will not be anyone that does not annoy/bother you somewhat. Try to focus more on something you like about someone, rather than their faults.
