Can't stand them

Ursuala · 14/01/2023 10:30

Really hope people like the OP don’t have children.
What a negative environment to grow up in!

Nicanabanana · 14/01/2023 10:31

I love people's stories too. An elderly relative this week told me about life post war and I was enthralled. I've also had strangers be really helpful and to me this cancels out any negative encounters.

^100% this

Ogden Nash said it better.
I wish I loved the human race
I wish I loved its silly face
And when I'm introduced to one
I wish I thought "What jolly fun!"

Are you a Nike Crocodile?

TwoLeftSocksWithHoles · 14/01/2023 10:36

Another clickbait post from this OP

Yep

Seems like a miserable attitude to go through life with, and the only person it impacts on is you.
Virtually everyone you encounter is just going about their own lives, and definitely not out to get you. Yes, there are occasions that we encounter some random nut-job, but you just have to shrug it off.

Ursuala · 14/01/2023 10:52

I live alone

The OP on another thread she started.

Well, there’s a surprise!

@Nicanabanana completely agree with you. People are fascinating and they bring me joy.

I don't know if I believe in star signs (I'm Libra) apparently that means I'm happy around people.

My mum's aquarius and we joke that if 99% of the world does it this way, she (as part of the 1%) will do it differently (on purpose).

I know there's arseholes, I meet many everyday but I just think they might have personal struggles and we are all different.

I love people's stories too. An elderly relative this week told me about life post war and I was enthralled. I've also had strangers be really helpful and to me this cancels out any negative encounters.

This is exactly me too. I'm a Pisces, right on the Aries cusp. I'm not sure where I sit with star signs either but ..... it's all interesting 🙂

Seems a bit edgy black-haired spiked collar-wearing teenager to say you hate or dislike most people. Sort of thing you'd see on MySpace in the 00's.

I'm relatively indifferent to most people because I don't know them, impossible to feel such a strong emotion as hate about someone I don't know. I have my circle, I spend my emotional energy loving them with all my heart, instead of wasting it hating people who wouldn't know or care if I dropped dead tomorrow.

I'm not an animal lover. Dogs are ok.
I have a phobia of cats and scared of lots of other animals.
Bunnies are cute and dolphins.

I'm a people watcher and find it fascinating how irritating others are esp in supermarkets.

I would say not love, rather than hate.

Ursuala · 14/01/2023 11:07

Op

Did you spend Christmas alone?
do you work? If so, enjoy it?
friends? Family? Hobbies?

I also find it interesting how so many people are stressed and angry and in a rush these days. Can't believe how many people go over the speed limit by a lot.
Like 40 + in 30 areas always. Unless traffic.. no patience.

Yes occasionally I'll drive faster if I've had a bad day or need to get somewhere. But to be like that all the time, too stressful.

Im laughing at the irritating supermarket people @Aquarius1234, you definitely aren’t wrong in that score. I’m definitely not my best in a supermarket that is why I do my shopping online these days.

Mind you I am conscientious so I don’t behave like an asshole out in public I reserve my assholeness for inside in my head. Although my dysfunctional family think I’m an asshole for speaking out about the dysfunction in the family too so I guess we are all assholes to somebody.

But the people that you are aware of driving fast could be doing precisely what you say you occasionally do ie drive fast or having a bad day or in a rush rather than “all the time” 😐

And surely all your days are “bad days”?

I like humans as a concept, individually most people get on my nerves 😬

How do you know they're like it all the time?

Wilkolampshade · 14/01/2023 11:16

Generally, fuckin' love people! All of 'em. All the shapes and sizes and faces and feet and hands and everything. Live sitting on the tube amongst them. Love listening to conversations in different languages on the bus.

Devoutspoken · 14/01/2023 11:18

But you sound stressed yourself op, to be so easily irritated by others you are only people watching

Wellnowlookhere · 14/01/2023 11:19

I only hate humans who hate other humans.
