I think I’m turning into a hermit

Recently I’ve had an epiphany about myself: I hate people.

I’ve never been much of a people person, but lately it’s reaching the point where I don’t merely prefer just to be alone, I also want the lot of humanity to be dropped into a supersized vat of boiling vegetable oil.

Almost everyone these days (except for a select few) tend to put me in a mood where I’d like to rip their tongues out with wooden tonsils and then smack them around in the face with it. My God people, at least make some sense to me when you try to engage me in conversation. I don’t begrudge a dissenting view on topics of any flavor, but if you’re going to be more incoherent than Paula Abdul after she’s had 10 bottles of whiskey, then don’t be surprised if the next thing you see is me launching a coffee mug in your direction at 90 miles an hour just so I can get you to SHUT THE $%& UP.

I’ve been stewing over this for some time now, but it seems like the more I befriend people, the more it occurs to me that either I am some kind of magnet for the batpoopie insane, or the world really has gone stark raving, cracknuts mad. I’m betting it’s the latter.

These days I’m ready to toss in the towel, buy up a crapload of first person shooter/adventure games and immerse myself in another world completely just so I can get away from this freak show called real life. At least for say, the next 10 years.

Very interesting, would love to know what happened. Believe it or not there are more people out there that feel the same way

Nothing specific really, just a conglomerate of how I’ve been feeling the past couple of weeks. Whether it’s at work or on the road or on the internet, people have been finding new and improved ways to irritate me, and it seriously chaps my bing bongs.

I’m in my 50’s and agree more with you every year! The more I see people, the less I like them. They tend to be a selfish lot with few redeeming qualities. Of course, there are the rare exceptions but the norm shows people to be an unlikeable bunch. ;-)

Okay, I have to ask. What are bing bongs and do they make a powder to keep them from chapping? :rofl: :bolt:

I’m pretty sure baby powder would suffice, or in my case, the love of a good woman. :ggrin:

Don’t let people Stupid like that bother you. They are close minded and do not even DESERVE to know they are wrong. When they do deserve it they will ask you. Also one thing I have learned over the years is that the more it bothers you the more people like that come ringing your doorbell. Don’t actually hurt them, just IMAGINE it. You will be surprised how much simple visualization can help you realize that you do not hate people just simply another problem.

Sorry if I am not clear. I know how much you hate that

@DLT: It’s ok, I caught the drift of what you meant.

I think I like people but am starting to feel the same way; truth is I just don’t like a lot of people.

I’m tired of the expectations; would it be too much to ask that someone make me laugh for a change? Cook me a meal perhaps? Something? Amything?

So thanks; enjoyed your posts, that simple!

@Barbara: It does get tiring doesn’t it? I’m pretty much ready to give up making nice with people I can’t stand. I’d rather just tell it like it is and if they still hang around after that, well mo’ power to ‘em.
