People that don't like people

[toopeopley]

AIBU to ask what that is about?

It's too peopley out there

Not going out because I don't like people

Various memes and quotes about not liking people.

What does this mean, why don't you like people?

Is there an element of actually wanting that connection with people but not knowing how to go about it so pushing it away?

I feel sorry for some of you and believe you are trying to hide from the world because you’re frightened. I used to be so shy and introverted as to be untrue when I was a teen. However I believed that most people were fundamentally good and I worked on myself. Particularly when I had kids. I felt I owed it to them to build a community around them, to have people who cared for my kids, who knew them well. I’m proud that I’ve built up a network of friends despite being introverted inside. It gives me peace of mind that should anything happen to me or my husband that they will have family and their friends, my friends that will always look out for them. I think it’s safety in numbers and that if you cut yourself off from everyone you leave yourself vulnerable.

Patronising rubbish.

I'm not frightened, I'm not sad. I've all the family and friends I need, alongside hobbies and interests.

My son has made his own friends and has his own hobbies without me micro managing his social life.
