Poll of the Day > Does anyone else just really hate people?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I barely have the patience for even the smallest of interactions with most people in public, and I just prefer to stay home playing video games or watching WWE programming.
---

I hate and love everyone
---

I dont hate people, but being around them exhausts me so I avoid it when I can
---

I don't hate people but I definitely have limited energy for social interactions. There comes a time where I'm just like "okay I need to be alone now" and it happens pretty quick around a lot of people

This more accurately describes how I feel.

Hate is a strong word. Let's just say alone time takes precedence. I'm naturally high energy so it's more that I lose my tolerance for dealing with stupidity.

Do you hate people only in real life or you hate people met online as well?
---

I hate people cuz i find most people stupid, filthy and/or unethical.
---

Stay away from social media, stay away from any place that has a low barrier to entry, and you will find yourself in better company rather quickly.

This is how I feel about people, typical introvert behaviour with a hint of social anxiety in there too.

I mean I don't really think I'm socially anxious, I manage every interaction just fine when I have to, I've held jobs where I had to interact with people constantly fine as well. I just also enjoy and often prefer my own company.
---

I sometimes feel that way. I see people as evil until they can each individually prove to me that they're not. Sorry about that, but I just can't take chances.

Oh I meant Im a typical introvert + have some social anxiety as an aside. The two obviously dont have to go hand in hand.

I don't literally "hate" a lot of people, but working retail you quickly learn how easy it is to dislike people on a large scale.

Sometimes I feel like the villain from Bad Boys: "I can't work with this kind of stupidity!"
---

as long as it doesn't limit your ability to cope with life it's fine.

there's only a small percentage of people who i can/want to deal with. i don't have time for weird, rude, mentally challenged, overly dramatic people. even then, i've found that the few ppl that would be worth spending time on either have not enough time or healthiness or they're lacking interest in the same things. and by interest i mean real interest, not superficiality.

of course i can only say that because i live in a country where it's not difficult to live alone. i'd imagine it can be quite hard in some parts of the world,
---

One thing that annoys me is complete strangers commenting on things I'm doing.

I just went running, and after I finished, I did some deep knee bends to stretch out my hamstrings. As I raised up, I slipped a little (grass was wet), and grabbed the 3-foot high wooden pole which marks the start/stop point to steady myself. This dude I've never seen before is walking by, and chuckles "You like that pole, huh?" I didn't say anything, but I was thinking "Asshole, why are you talking to me?"
---

I don't dislike people. I just hate talking to 80% of the people I encounter regularly. I originally thought it was because we didn't share any common interests, but I worked with a guy who I had next to nothing in common with, but we would always have really interesting conversations and debates.

No. The stupid things people do amuse me greatly, like ordering a western omelet without peppers and onions.

Yep! On the road driving just to run errands, I always assume someone is going to do something stupid. I have yet to be disappointed.
---

I'm also the same introvert + anxiety combo as most people in this topic. I wouldn't say I hate the people I meet IRL, but the people who post their terrible opinions online are a whole other story.

Hate is a strong word. I just simply don't care for most people.

I actually can tolerate folk more online than off. Probably because I know I'll probably never meet these people in real life and because I find it ore easy to communicate via text then verbal or written communication. Also because I'm relaxed and alone while typing for the most part.

Lmao no wonder this board is so miserable.

Personally I was raised by parents not to hate people based on skin color, sexuality, religious beliefs etc. I generally like or dislike based on my own personal interactions with them and not their race etc.

Nah, people are complex and live interesting lives, but I do loathe myself for having poor social skills that are (at this point in life) beyond my control
---

I've lost most of my tolerance for stupid, angry, or annoying people (though I guess sometimes I have my own moments with all of these, so maybe I could learn to regain some of that tolerance).

I can tolerate it more so online, but even then it still gets on my nerves and I'm looking to leave. I can barely stand this site anymore, some of the dumbest debates just keep getting regurgitated and keep going. An example would be the digital vs physical debate. I'm already moving into streaming yet I have to keep on listening to this dumb ass debate with no board specifically dedicated to streaming yet.

The energy sometimes just drops out of me when I have to put up with this stuff, especially IRL.

I avoid social media sites at all costs, they are worse then real life interactions most of the time.

You like that pole huh, lol.

This kind of stuff can get stupid and annoying, but I sometimes like interactions like this, they make me laugh.

I only hate around 60% of the elderly.

I hate people who bring up politics for no reason. It's like, shut the fuck up, nobody cares what you think about the left or the right. Can we just be civil?

I hate any type of political debates as no matter what your view is, even if you don't give a fuck you're still part of some kind of problem according to some folk.
---

There are so many dumb shits out there that I can't be bothered with.
Especially while driving.

Religion and politics are the two topics a refuse to talk about with people I don't know.

People you know will at least disagree civily. That shit goes out the window when you don't have any personal attactchment(though sometimes even then).
