    What if you don’t hate people, you’re just disappointed in people?

      Perfectly valid. I identify as a mesanthrope and i mostly feel dissapointed. i dont really hate people. but i got dissapointed so often that i just dont expect to like them anymore. I hope this is a discussion we can have in this community more. Because i can dislike humanity as a whole and still be married, still go to board game night, and still volunteer to be the change i want to see in sociaty.

      I personally see humanity as doomed. Doesnt mean i cant work to create some small safe bunbles for me and others, where we can be dissapointed together.

        Similar here, I guess. I actually love people, but it breaks my heart that not enough people seem to feel the same way.

        I’m not sure that humanity is doomed. It seems more likely to me that it will find some way to limp along unless some kind of massive meteor hits or whatever. But sometimes I wonder if it would be kinder if it didn’t.

    "A glaring misconception of self-importance

    I know the character well

    Heedless fool

    So arrogant with no understanding of consequence

    I see this negligence

    I choose not to accept it

    Not into my life

    Absence of introspection neglects the outer world

    Let not the excess of lust and comfort mislead you

    This world is not yours"
