Why do you dislike people?

[psychodynamica]

I think there is something strange going on, we are at this stage in a society when we are judged on every aspect of our persona, favriote music, foods, clothes, voice. Everything. now many of these i will agree can tell you about a person, but is thirty seconds of one song on their Mp3 being a justification for treating that person as someone not worth having around seems a little nonsensical not mention a little cruel.

Now i am not trying to rant or vent ver bullying at any point this is not a thread for that and if you want to have a nice long chat about that or display childhood issues, feel free to make a topic.

I have been looking through this forum for awhile and the community generally seems PC and passive aggresive (not necessarily a bad thing), but this clearly due to those ban happy moderaters we love so much. Anyway, after I left school (U.K btw)I noticed that having people i 'hated' was no longer warranted. since that moment i have not held a grudge, treated someone like an assh*le simply because he likes something i really don't or even gave someone a dirty look because of how they talk/dress/act. Not that i have nbot been inclined but i have kind of given up wtih it, it makes being social a chore. and this doesn't mean i don't 'hate' anyone, it's just i really need a reason for it,disliking people is what i have a problem with. I know this appears to be a 'HOW AWESOME I AM' thread but that is not my intention, as far as I have seen in groups of every social type their are so many strange little antogonistic relationships people have over what amounts to sod all. I guess what i am trying to say is, What do you find yourself judging people negatively for, and why, i want to know what prejudices you have.

P.S YOU do have prejudices, if you don't your lying to yourself. or your are some lab experiment that escaped.

i dont just get off on people. but what makes me not like someone really fast, is just swearing at me like i have no place in life...it never made me feel down or anything, just, wtf, why would anyone just start like that?

or, you know, the scumbag who invented spam email, or the guy running Zynga, seriously, F*CK HIS GAMES and all the stupid schemes he uses to make money, little dip! xD

Just a note: If you recieve mod wrath, it's because you were reported by a lot of people. The mods look at your forum health bar and apply the right level of punishment. They're not ban-happy.

OT: What? I fucking love people. Because we're awesome! And I mean that in the true sense of the word.

...Wait, fuck, that wasn't your question. Silly me. >.<
I hope I'm not prejudiced. I like to think I judge people by their actions.

 

[KarmaTheAlligator]

I don't like close minded people, and that describes about 50% of the world's "civilised" population. A lot of people just do things because they're trendy or cool or everyone's doing them, and treat the ones who don't as some kind of pariah. Which, they're kind of right to do, but it still annoys me that someone doing what they want, as in actually thinking for themselves and not just following the flock, can be seen as a wrong thing.

 

[subfield]

from your post i can infer that you have never been hurt. only such a one can claim "never to hold a grudge". as for me, generally i dislike people because they are prejudiced, impolite, lacking courtesy, conceited, hurt others, or arrogant (or all of the above). Since 99.9999% of humanity fall into one of those groups, humans are kind of a no-go species for me.

I actually used to be kinda like this. Overly judgemental on people depending on their taste in music. If they liked pop music, then they had no opinions of their own and didn't think or look for things that they liked and, instead, liked what they were told to like. If they liked pop-punk music, they also fit into that category. If they liked the Beatles, they liked what they were supposed to like, making sure that their CD collection mirrored NME's list of the 100 greatest albums of all time that's barely changed in the last 20 years. To quote Manowar, if they liked metal, they were my friend.

I mellowed out about things like that after I finished high school, though.

I do have this odd guilt thing about my feelings with religion, though. My deep down opinion is that theistic religions are silly, and people who believe in them are being silly, and I believe that religion is objectively a bad thing because it inspires many people to do horrible things to each other. But on the other hand, I have some very close friends who're also very sincere about their religious beliefs. And I feel guilty because their religion is very important to them and makes them happy, but if I said that I didn't wish they were religious, I'd be lying.

If they act with absolutely no sense of logic whatsoever

If they seem to have absolutely no regard for how other people feel or what others may think

If they claim to be concerned about how people feel for what they may think, but really aren't.

If they try and claim to be superior to ANYONE for certain reasons (which I do sometimes, which I hate)

If they're weird to the point of it being disturbing

If they're wildly hypocritical when calling people out for things they do

 

[SilentCom]

People are people no matter how you look at them. Sometimes it takes a keen eye or honest mind to see people for who they are.

 

[chaosyoshimage]

Ignorance, bigotry, selfishness, etc. People have a lot of bad traits, I tend to dwell on those giving me a negative outlook on people, making me just as bad as the rest...

 

[spartan231490]

Stupidity. Mainly, that's it. Also, pants around the ass pisses me off too, I don't want to see your boxers, but if you're incapable of pulling your pants up, i can do it for you. with a forklift. Kinda that whole scene really, the stupid "bling" jewlery, the tatoos just for the sake of tattoos, the guage ear-rings, the shitty stuff most of those people seem to believe is music.

UM, other than that, nothing really. If i'm in a bad mood I tend to hate everyone for something, but that's just cuz I'm in a bad mood.

 

[SuperSuperSuperGuy]

I dislike most people because of their lack of common sense, close-mindedness, ignorance, selfishness, sense of entitlement, carelessness, impoliteness, illogical and self-destructive behaviour, "follow the leader" mentality, arrogance, prejudice and willingness to wrong people who have never done so to them. That's a long list of things that make me dislike a person.

^this and hypocrites

 

[The Rogue Wolf]

Nearly a decade of employment in the retail sector has taught me- beyond a shadow of a doubt- that the vast majority of the human species are self-centered, self-absorbed, ignorant jackasses looking for an excuse to get angry over something (since obviously the world is out to get them because they're just so much better than everyone else). And with the advent of social media, we now get to see every single self-aggrandizing thought they have spread around the Internet.

 

[Doitpow]

I dislike

-anyone who says "I'm really arrogant" like it's a good thing.
-anyone who says "I'm not racist/sexist/trying to be rude/homophobic but..."
-anyone who believes their individuality (which we all have) makes them superior.#
-anyone who talks loudly over someone with nothing interesting to say.

these are irritaing but...
I LOATHE

-anyone who is disloyal to their friends or partners.
-people who use a position of security or power to intimdate or harm out of malice.


s'about it

 

[SageRuffin]

the only reason I don't have a lot of fondness for a lot of the people I meet is because they're overly emotional brainless reactionary idiots who are so used to society protecting them from the consequences of their rudeness that they now feel entitled to just say whatever they hell they feel like.

I concur (mostly).

To expand with my own experiences, I've been ridiculed for the smallest things (I've been teased for my name being JASON for fuck's sake), bullied, teased, and looked down upon simply for doing my fucking homework (I can't tell you how many people I've met who say i "talk white", whatever the fuck that means), the list goes on.

So I don't hate people for the sake of hating them, I hate people because I am what society has made me - unless you come talk to me, I'm simply gonna assume that you're yet another random ignorant jackass that I need not waste my time on.

Oh, and those tacky-ass outfits. If I see another all-elbows-and-knees guy in skinny jeans and a high-top fade, I'm gonna flip. D:

 

[Danny Ocean]

I dislike people because I'm frightened of them. I'm frightened of them getting the wrong impression of me, of their hostility, of the difficulty I have to get people to like me. I think that's a good enough reason to dislike people.

An unfortunately self-fulfilling situation.

I dislike people who don't know what they're preaching about. As someone said at some point:

"The curse of knowledge is eternal exasperation."

Most people are just ill-informed. It's not their fault really. It's those real blockheads who presume to know enough to inform others that piss me off.

But I do think most people are pretty much A-OK. Some are really cool. Some are pricks to me but probably nice to someone sometimes. Crude tastes and things like that don't really bother me unless they're REALLY embarrassing, and I generally get along with most people. I assume people are pretty good unless they show me otherwise, apparently unlike the poster above me.

I just can't understand taking the negative view as a default. Doesn't that make life rather miserable? Isn't there some hypocrisy in assuming people are ignorant jackasses unless they prove otherwise?

 

[Rin Little]

I don't like people because for the most part they are judgmental, arrogant, egotistical morons who don't have enough common sense to realize that other people besides them occupy the planet.

Granted every once in a while there is someone who breaks that mold that I actually want to be around.
