I actually did find that person. We're pretty happy, grumbling and isolating from the world together. There's people and then there's people, and the latter are just awful.
Agreed. I think I've found her, too. I gotta tell ya. This is pretty great.
First of all, genuinely happy for the both of you.
Second of all, I don't think it's mentally healthy to have such a negative view on such a large portion of a society - personally, I'm very picky with friends and acquaintances, but the "I hate people"-attitude is rather something I associate with edgy teenagers and people who never grew out of that mindset.
I mostly ignore that people who I don't like exist and reduce my interactions with them to a minimum. Constantly hating just sounds exhausting, even if it's so abstract.
You are obviously free to do as you please; I'm just trying to provide another perspective that maybe brings more peace of mind.
It is exhausting and unhealthy in some ways. But look around... None of this shit is good for our mental health. I've done my time trying to make the best of being surrounded by truly disgusting people, and even help them despite everything. I'm done.
Hating people has a lot to do with how people interact with you.
If anytime you go out someone threatns you or rubs their leg onto yours in public transport or whatever the fuck it will be this time, you just default to this mindset.
Has something to do with self preservation.
People who don't have this constantly reinforced may be able to ignore it but it is not really a choice for all of us.
I think most people who "hate people" don't actually hate all people, just people as a whole because they suck. Individual people can be great.
Have you met people though?
I hate people flat out.
I ride 'protected' bike lanes and have people encroach into them anyways almost evey day. you hear the sound of stick against the bars of a railing then get hit in the back by a plastic tube. It was an suv or truck driving through the springy pylons and launching one at me.
highway on ramp has a dedicated lane with a bike lane on the shoulder, but during rush hour everyone combines the bike lane with the on ramp lane and splits that into two unofficial car lanes.
on foot big trucks always creep forward and block the entire walk phase and the light that indicates it.
everyone stops in the middle of the intersection.
when I'm driving people never understand zipper merge and trade paint every god damn day right in front or behind me and I dont have enough appendages to count the number of times I had to pull back ouut because someone decided last second they werent going to wait their turn after all.
I hate people. And thats only car related. I could write more than tolkien about grocery stores or public spacesin general.
I don't know man. I don't actually "hate people" but then I go out downtown for one day and im sick of most humans. Once in a great while there are cool people, but it seems like it's More just loud assholes that make the majority (America, so go figure). I'd rather talk to people on the internet that are a little smarter than most people i know irl. I actually enjoy being around some people but definitely not most.

I just gave up, it's just easier for my mental health.
To anyone that manages to work 9-5 and grind dating + hobbies. you're a god and a legend. good for you.
yeah what she is talking about is called wanting a pet dog
No, cats are infinitely more misanthropic than dogs.
I could be her dog 🥺

People do say its more important to hate the same stuff than to like the same stuff in a relationship
Best to be safe and hate everything to have maximum compatibility with potential partners.
Find a way to not hate people. Learn to recognize yourself in others. Or maybe you already do, and you need to learn to love yourself more. Have patience with yourself, and be more accepting of yours and others' flaws.
It's possible. I did it.
Tangential for sure, but does anyone think the rise is misanthropy is linked to the documented increase in loneliness and alienation? It's purely conjectural but it stands to reason that a feeling of alienation coupled with the distance preventing us from humanizing others might be corollary.
Nope, misanthrope here.
Humans just fucking suck.
They have to kill and eat and 'fix' everything that comes in their way.
I didn't like people just as much when I was forced to interact with them more than I am now, I'd just argue it's easy to not rely on others nowadays.
From my personal anecdotal evidence, yeah, to an extent. I live in the States and a lot of our culture is pretty toxic. I had to find a few non-toxic, non-misanthropic groups to hang out with to reverse my misanthropy. Moving out of a conservative state helped a lot. Prior, I'd end up hanging out with other reluctantly socializing misanthropes who repeated prevalent toxic behaviors. It always resulted in a lot of unnecessary drama and hurt feelings.
Society atomized, third place dismantled. As an adult it's difficult to meet new people and form deep relationships. There are services that ostensibly help you do that, whose real mission is the same old thing - profit maximizing. So they all enshittify and become toxic and manipulative.
It's difficult to not be misanthropic.
She seems sweet.
I think I've found my soulmate.
I went from ich_iel to this lemmy to check out the moth memes
Wtf are you all boring socially awkward people?
Don't hate 'cause you can't relate.
(me_irl in the anglosphere is for relatable memes, not random bullshit)
The posts are aaall the same and basically a "weirdly publicly depressed people from twitter" compilation XD
Yeah, my marriage ended with my ex torturing me for about three days give or take, and then calling the police to have me removed from the house I paid the bills on. The police then lied about what happened and there is no police report. I essentially don’t have rights as a human being - if a cis person rapes or physically assaults me, they will face no consequences. Kinda done with all forms of relationships.
"i hate people"
posts on twitter to get validation from people
It's not that uncommon to want validation from people you hate. Ask anyone with narcissistic parents.
As a person with narcissistic parents:
Grow up, get over it, learn how to validate yourself.
Otherwise you will become a judgemental, attention seeking, never affirmation giving narcissist as well.
I get where you're coming from but I still disagree with your position. An internet conversation is not the same as a meeting in real life. I like most people here because I don't have to see them or have to be around them.
I see it as a way to exchange information and opinions and as a way to escape from reality. Sometimes that goes off the rails and devolves into shitposting. Social media is a misnomer, it should be parasocial media.
OTOH, I don't have a twitter account (nor Insta, nor FB, nor TikTok, nor whatever-new-hip-platform), so maybe I'm just fucking antisocial and wished I weren't.
not sure what's going on here. you wished you were social so that you can stand to use social media?
regardless, you're on this platform, but it's a lot more anonymous than any of the others. which i don't use either because a) it's 99% dreck; and b) anything "good" from there is reposted here anyway (along with the dreck, but whatever)
i think hating all other people is one of the things we can all agree on and empathize with.
"In the beginning the universe was created. This made a lot of people very unhappy and has widely been regarded as a bad move"
Hating peoples isn't a reason to not share thoughts. That makes zero sense.
You are assume this post is validation and that sort of shit where people project their own motivations onto others is why I feel the same way as the person in the meme and can be the motivation to post.
LOL ok
good luck finding that one person who hates everyone except you
I don't hate people. Just the ones I can't get away from by pressing a button.
