Supremely hating people

Wrong?

I've always felt a sort of distrust with humanity, and lately I've begun to flat out hate people. To the point where when this gets me down, I read obituaries to make myself feel better.

I'm not gothic or emo or anything, I'm not seriously depressed. I just feel a deep hatred for people and honestly I feel elated when I hear of morons and others who have died. I can find no good qualities on almost anyone, my family drives me crazy and I don't think I even love them.

Lately I've found myself wishing I was--more or less--a sociopath who could manipulate people with ease and feel no emotion for them. I've tried to push all emotion out of my mind because I feel such a deep seated hatred for people, I hate it when I feel sympathy for someone or something. I wish I simply felt a dull apathy for humanity, rather than the anger I do now.

What do you think?
Do you think it's normal?

Well I could say something like you are repressing something, you had a traumatic experience blah blah blah. But you sound intelligent and insightful into your own emotions, so you would probably have a sense of any severe emotional issues.

I guess you could just hate people. People are deceitful, self-centered, insencere, greedy, and almost all negative qualities in the english language can be ascribed to someone.

Maybe you have not seen enough good in people to satisfy your skeptisism about humanity. I must say that this site is not a good place to get a feel for how people are in general. The internet is generally a annonymous forum for people who need to release frustration with their lives in ways they would generally never do in real life. This does not mean that they are bad people, they probably have bent up frustration.

I think you should accept that you generally don't like people, and instead of spending your energy trying not to be angry, search for the people who you think have redeeming qualities. Its ok to hate people's qualities, but you will only hate them more if you end up in jail or an institution because you have acted on what you percieve to be hate.
It seems you are starting to get some serious problems which could affect your life. Seeing sad things doesnt really give me feelings of sympathy but It doesnt fill me with me with anger either get some help befor it gets too bad
Whats the problem? people do suck.
You shall be my new side-kick! Together you and I shall rule all the filthy beasts we call our "neighbors, friends, humans".

we need to start planning now. I shall be waiting.

P>S> Don't jerk me around neither.
I think i don't care
Fizzy: Something along the lines of what I thought. Possible I will find redeeming qualities, but it's harder for me than most people.

cabinet70: I'm not angry at the sad things, but that I can't escape being saddened by them. This is why I wished I just felt more apathetic, akin to that of a sociopath. My main soft spot is animals, it hurts like hell to see a dog being abused by his/her owner, etc. I wish I wasn't affected by this, because it hurts. Nonetheless, my hate for humanity still stays.

Shavemeslowly: They do, but the problem is that I find it hard to cope with.

METHOSjr.: Okay.

smithee: Why the hell even post if you don't care?

Glad you saw it my way Choosy. Although, if you feel weird about being a "sidekick" you must first beat me at a challenge.

maybe you like being angry?
maybe it is your comfort?
I think you probably hate me and don't care what I think.
Sorry. for you having to feel that way. I wish I could say something that would help but I don't think it works that way. but I really feel bad you feel like that. Not everyone's bad or evil or stupid. I know this be a big whatever coming from me but when I have felt angry with everyone I always meet someone somewhere whose nice and who makes me think not all people should burn.

Take this for what it's worth ok? but sometimes the worst thing for the hate is being on or having anything to do with the internet because if there's a group of people who should die it's them. sorry but I get like you a little too. Take care ok?

p.s. stay away from the news shows. that stuff always pisses me off
got to say there's nothing wrong with having your thoughts or feelings you're human. Sometimes people and things in life completely suck. but I really think you're ok. the way you asked your question up top is very familiar to me, think I've said a lot the same stuff.
If you want to be a sociopath, BE A SOCIOPATH. If someone makes fun of you, KILL THEM IF YOU WANT TO. We're overpopulated anyway.
