      I work 8:30-16:30 and the I have hours left with my wife. We spend that time walking in parks, puzzling, dancing, debating, watching art, watching movies or TV shows… We have so much time!

      I dont really have hobbies anymore because I prefer spending all my time with my wife, and I’m ok with that.

      It’s not that hard, really, I think. Just… Touch grass, go outside, stop doom scrolling, go find a hobby you love, find people and remember that everyone is flawed, so am I

        Idk why this is getting downvoted. Sounded wholesome. I can see people disagreeing on the giving up hobbies party, but it’s also really easy to make judgments from an outside perspective. Me and my partner do have hobbies and we do appreciate our alone time, but I also aspire to do more puzzles and quality time things together.

        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.

          That is what happened to my sister. I, on the other hand am a ball of anxiety and depression that over compensates for what I went through in life by being overly accommodating to others. Some of learn to try to be better than those that raised us. Sometimes even that bites us in the ass.

      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.

      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.

    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.

      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.

        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.

        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.

        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.

    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.

      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.

      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.

    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.

      Why torture yourself, then?

      There are good people out there, I’d like to think I’m one, or trying at least. So there is already at least one good person out there.

      Don’t let a few assholes ruin your life. there are boat loads of like-minded people out there for you, find them

        I’m not going to find anyone in this red state. If my ex hadn’t also managed to max out my credit cards before kicking me out, I would be able to escape. I will never get out, I will never experience love or compassion again, I exist as a ball of misery that screams at people to try to prevent anyone from going through the torture I have experienced. I do not exist as a human being that is capable of receiving love, I am an object of anger that attempts to point myself like a gun at the people who hurt others to give my sad and miserable life meaning and purpose.

            Such a wonderful place!

            Seeking out mental health services six months ago got me physically assaulted and cost me a job, so I have PTSD from my ex husband torturing me, the child rape facility I was sent to as a teenager also torturing me, and the hospital I was sent to as an adult for daring to ask for help beating the shit out of me and calling me “fucking retarded!” I wish I could die, but instead of death I’ll just keep yelling at people so hopefully no one else will get to spend their nights slowly drinking themselves to death to make their brain not feel like it’s on fire.

                My license just expired and I can’t afford to renew. Booze for now ❤️

                Cannabis won’t kill me, and I’m trying to die in a way that won’t get me imprisoned in a torture facility that will cost me thousands of dollars again. Slow death so I can yell at people.
