I have a dislike for people

somuj · 06-02-2014 09:31PM

I feel the same way. Can't wait for people to stop talking to me. The majority take forever to tell a story or piece of information that could be conveyed in a sentece or two. Sitting in a bar and haveing to listen to strangers prattle on endlessly to each other about nothing just for the sake of having something to say.

SimonQuinlank · 06-02-2014 09:32PM

All people?you're writing everybody off?

I dislike an unhealthy amount of people myself,but I'm willing to give ones that I don't know a chance!

The One Doctor · 06-02-2014 09:53PM

First poster, are you sure you're ok? Hating people isn't very useful, as there are seven billion of us. Without us you'd be shivering in a field somewhere and dying of toothache.

I recommend you talk to your friends, parents, anybody who'll listen - just talk about whatever you want, but talk nonetheless. And btw, the internet doesn't count as socialising.

People don't exist merely to offer you something btw.:cool:

Hmmm... rethinking that I will give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you mean in terms of mental stimulation. My advice: Too much introspection can weigh heavily on the mind/soul so you might want to find a hobby with some sort of menial/physical element where your brain can take the back seat. It can only be good for your mental health.

I think sometimes it's easier to say "I hate people" then to face the actual truth. I've done it myself plenty of times.

Good point, well made.

Odds are that one or two of them out there will think you're not awful.

Hey OP,

How does it feel,
To be on your own?

Yeah, fellow boards.ie they probably don't like me either.

Now that's out of the way let me give my thoughts.

"Poor me, poor me, poor me..."

People are boring and I include myself in that. I suspect a lot of boardsies are of the same mindset.

Most people couldn't care less about you tbh, let alone like you or not like you.

Go to a doctor and get diagnosed! Aspergers I believe its called!

And the Internet doctors are in the house less than five minutes later. That's the thing about armchair psychiatrists, they're always wrong -

There is no such diagnosis as "aspergers syndrome" any more.

thecatspjs · 06-02-2014 10:50PM

I find that I can like and get along with most people once I get talking to them. The funny thing is that complete strangers do my nut in for no good reason!

To paraphrase some comedian (If you can tell me who said this there's a toffee in it for you):

I'd be sitting at a bus stop and there would typically be other people there. I'd take one look at the chap next to me and just start thinking -

'Look at you, just standing there in your shoes. You're even wearing a hat you f*cking git, it's not even that cold out. Why don't you just piss off.'

And yer man is just there next to me, completely oblivious to the fact that I'm boiling with rage over his very existence. It's gas.

So you don't dislike people.

thisonetaken · 06-02-2014 11:22PM

I can be friends with someone for a short period, and really enjoy their company during that time, but tend to get bored of them quite quickly. There comes a point after 2 or 3 months of knowing them, when they can give you no more enjoyment, you know everything about them and their outlook on life, you can pretty much predict everything they will do and say after a certain point, and thus my interest in them drops dramatically and the relationship breaks down.

I much prefer listening to brilliant music by the likes of Bob Dylan and reading the works of William Burroughs.

In a nutshell- you prefer the folk revolution, Mexican rentboys and jabbing heroin in your sack.

On a serious note though, Burroughs was an interesting guy.

He said he dislikes and finds people boring. No where did he say anything about hate. The tone of your post insinuates he is somehow sick or depressed and should be socialising. You have no idea what the OP is talking about and your pseudo medical advice is insulting to say the least.

Me? · 06-02-2014 11:52PM

I hate everyone except people that have given me a reason not to hate them. I find that it saves me of any potential disappointment.

what an interesting thread. a lot of people are in fact, ****.

tim3000 · 07-02-2014 12:11AM

I find that if you have a nice small circle of close friends you will do fine. Im not exactly a people person myself though nowhere as cut off as the OP seems to be. Chin up friend things will get better.

rustedtrumpet · 07-02-2014 12:31AM

Ah romantic attention seeker, great choice. Beats 'very annoyed with the banks right now' internet persona these days anyway.

While the name is not going to be used anymore.... Autism Spectrum Disorder still exists. I would know - in the process of being tested myself.

People who say they don't like people are lying. They say this because they are afraid to trust again after being hurt profoundly by someone. It is often perceived as alternative and a little hipster to make such a drastic statement as "I have a dislike for people" but really what this thread screams of is "I have a desperate want for companionship but my anxiety is so severe that I struggle immensely in social situations." And I believe that whole-heartedly and not at all offensively...

Nonsense? So you really think that a man that has a dislike for people will come on to what is in effect a social network to let other people know about this dislike. Why would he do that?
