How do I get over my general dislike of people? I can't stand them
I don't wish harm on anyone, I just can't stand being around people in general. For as long as I've been on this planet, I've observed, in every damn person, that all they do is chat shit about just about anyone.... doesn't matter how good or bad you are, people will always find dirt on you.

As such, I can't stomach getting to know people, esp. work colleagues and my nosey ass neighbours... fuckers play happy families together, but always chat shit about each other in secret.

However, I'm getting to the level now where I am developing somewhat of a social phobia and it's getting me down because it's making me so anxious and uncomfortable, but I can't hide my contempt forever. I'll force out a 'hello', but I want to get away from people ASAP and just be on my own or with the few people I know and trust.

No doubt, my non-existent conversation and all around avoidance will make people think I'm a weirdo, and they're very likely discussing this with each other. But if people weren't such gossipy, backstabbing, sad, pathetic creatures, I'd be more trusting of them and happily connect.

Do you have these issues? If so, how do you deal with them?

Sounds like you need to go on a trip.


Read the first paragraph of Herman Melville's Moby Dick:

"Call me Ishmael. Some years ago - never mind how long precisely - having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me on shore, I thought I would sail about a little and see the watery part of the world. It is a way I have of driving off the spleen and regulating the circulation. Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth; whenever it is a damp, drizzly November in my soul; whenever I find myself involuntarily pausing before coffin warehouses, and bringing up the rear of every funeral I meet; and especially whenever my hypos get such an upper hand of me, that it requires a strong moral principle to prevent me from deliberately stepping into the street, and methodically knocking people's hats off - then, I account it high time to get to sea as soon as I can. This is my substitute for pistol and ball. With a philosophical flourish Cato throws himself upon his sword; I quietly take to the ship. There is nothing surprising in this. If they but knew it, almost all men in their degree, some time or other, cherish very nearly the same feelings towards the ocean with me."

Do you like yourself?
I hated people but I realized it came from self hate. Now I like them even though I think many are idiots, I have no need to change them, I can accept them the way they are.

Yes, OP, I have the exact same issues.

Become a freelance computer programmer, a so called coder.
By all means, only do low level, algorithmics-oriented stuff, unlike the masses.

You've got the right profile.

You profile like a self help guru. None of them like people. They put on a fake smile and lie to your face. Fake it till you make it. They hate being around people so they build "self" so you can never be like them. Now you can be a self help teacher, travel the world and buy an island.

You attract what you are, they sense you dislike them so they give you a cold sholder. Open up and let someone in, there are a lot of shitty people I agree, but there are a lot of wonderful people to. Good luck.

We humans do tend to be a selfish lot. Maybe you could ask God to help by putting His love in your heart? You can't really put it there, but He can.

Re: How do I get over my general dislike of people? I can't stand them
Hang in there OP. Most people are exactly like you say. But realize it is not their fault. Modern western culture has trained everyone to be conniving, duplicitous, opportunistic gossipers. All couched in the feel good rationale of "competition"

People actually think getting others to do things for them for free, either through leverage/gossip, faux pity, or implied adoration is a skill to be admired while feeding their egos at the same time. And yes, as soon as they pull what ever trick on you they are using that day, they go to others like them and call you a sucker for more ego driven pleasure. This sets you up for more scams from the peer group at large.

Why blame yourself for it? Accept who you are and don't be forced to conform to social norms. Venture out occasionally to test the waters, but learn to be secure with who you are.

I'm a lot like you. I get forced to be in social situations a lot more often than I would like. Learn relaxation techniques and find a hobby or two.

I very rarely feel the need to be out in public, but also I rarely feel bad about that because I don't need to be accepted or entertained by others.
