I really fucking hate people

[Marquis]

I wish this was a joke.

I feel like I'm constantly faking my way through life, surrounded by people I need for some reason I can't understand and I hate them for it.

I look around at all the things people do with their time, the things they talk about, think about, worry about, and it all seems just so completely petty.

I suspect that this is a symptom of the purity of my soul and clarity of my mind.

Out of curiousity, can we assume you do not consider the things you talk about, worry about and think about completely, or to any degree, petty?

 

[FurryFury]

I feel this way too sometimes. Well except for the self aggrandizing about the purity of my soul.

The majority of people often seem so shallow and petty. The good news is that with age you begin to find people you get along with on different levels better.

Marquis, I hate to say it, but BTDT. When I finally got a little clarity of my own, I realized that worrying about what they talked, thought or worried about was a complete waste of my time, and just began to enjoy them for the good they might bring to my life and ignoring - as much as possible - the rest. I've become a happier person because of this realization, and, I think, nicer to be around.

In essence, you may have come to the point in your life where you are ready to accept people for who and what they are, take the good they might provide you, and discard/disregard the rest, in order to be more at peace with yourself. It's called "growing up," and so many, many people never manage it. Congratulations!

I agree that some people seem very shallow and petty. And I hate when someone assumes something about me when they don't even know me. I think that might by why some of my posts are so lengthy.

I try to give as much info as possible, so I won't be misunderstood. If someone doesn't agree with me...that's fine. If they misunderstand me or jump to conclusions...it sometimes makes me think they didn't care enough to even try.

People are stuck in their own little world. I've tried to get some people to understand a point I'm trying to make and they don't even seem to listen, but are just waiting for me to stop talking so they can tell me their bigger and better story...so stuck on their own trivial and petty lives.

There are some really deep people out there who communicate with others on a level that makes you think. And then there are some who just think they are deep. And then there are those who are really deep, but the well is full of nothing but stolen cookies. It's all in how you view life, I guess.

<GASP!> Don't tell gracie!

 

[KoPilot]

Sell them stupid shit.

Petty sheeple are easier to tolerate when you have their money.

Hey!

 

[Cattypuss]

This would be a more interesting thread for me if the title were "I really hate fucking people".

Y'all are cracking me up.

 

[brioche]

I felt like that for the last 3-4 years. Then two things happened:
1) They adjusted my meds (seriously)
2) Someone called me on being so self-absorbed and self-involved that I wasn't really doing my job anymore and just phoning it in, every day.

I found something to bring back my enthusiasm for my job and found a nice place to be and I walk around fucking smiling at everyone even through the back pain because I'm just so fucking happy to be back at a point in my life where something is good.


Yeah, most of the stuff they talk about is puerile, yeah I'm smarter than all of them (actually proven by clinical tests) but why are you letting it get to you?

BTDT, and I almost lost my career and my self-worth in the process. Not going back there.

I feel that way most of the time. My patience for people and their bullshit is at an all-time low. I think it's that Narcissistic Personality Disorder of my mother and grandmother's trying to grab hold with me, too. I fight it, but sometimes it's hard.

Narcissistic tendencies are probably not that difficult to feel, in this day and age. We give kids trophies for participation in sports. All kids are given the chance to play for fear they will assume they aren't any good.

Mama's boys live at home past the age of 40. They never leave home and instead of taking that normal route, they just shift jobs at the age of 50 from being the child to being the care giver of their elderly parent. But they never really grow up and mama still dictates their sex lives. Some become woman haters and some end up woman killers.

Many people will allow someone to think they are really good at something, instead of being the one to tell them the truth. People literally go through life thinking they can sing, act, etc. until it manifests to the point they won't even believe a professional when they are told otherwise. It's not being truthful to their fellow humans, but then shows like "America's Got Talent" and "American Idol" wouldn't have any footage for their gag reels.

I really fucking hate People, too.

But I love Wired and The Atlantic.

So true.

I learned to bluff a long time ago. I figured, if everyone else is doing it, why shouldn't I?

Something about a speck in your neighbor's eye and a plank in your own...

 

[ecstaticsub]

If you don't have the courage and intelligence to surround yourself with people who interest you and challenge you it's your own fucking fault.

I work at a job where i am challenged by my co-workers. I live with a man who even after 30 years of being together continues to surprise, amuse and intrigue me. I have a Dominant who is a master at creativity. Of course my children are ever changing and presenting me with new challenges.

I don't waste my time with people I find boring, time is way too valuable for that.

Much of b-school sucks.

You'll need a sense of humor to get through this, man. Find one or two buddies, similarly inclined, and you're set.

At first I thought this part was a joke, and then I considered the source. Marquis, try taking yourself less seriously. Nobody is pure of soul or clear of mind. People are complex. Find the complexities in those around you. What you see is only the surface. Instead of feeling frustrated with that, delve deeper. It will help you grow.
