I Am Misanthropic

This unnerves a lot of people. Perhaps they feel threatened by my hatred toward humans in general or maybe they're just so full of themselves that they can't stand the idea of someone never liking them. Maybe they simply don't understand it and of course, its human nature to feel menaced by what we don't understand. Regardless, the typical reaction I get from people is them attacking me for it and often projecting their feelings onto me, likely as a way to cover up their own behavior and make themselves out to be the ones under attack just because they're bothered by me for whatever reason. In doing so, they only demonstrate why I have such hatred toward people. Humans are all alike, savage and decadent by nature. There's no changing who we are and that's why I will never change.

It seems to me, you don't want to change even if you could. Here's my guess... someone let you down... probably a long while ago that... in a way... traumatized you. You never really got over it and found that by projecting your feelings about the "event," on to humans in general you found a way to distance yourself from the pain. If you ask me... you need to (finally) confront the pain instead of running from it.

@MarkPaul Spot on
Renikari · F
@MarkPaul Spot-on indeed. What is it like being clairvoyant?
MarkPaul · 26-30, M
@Renikari Sarcasm???
Renikari · F
@MarkPaul Obviously. Unless you think you are clairvoyant. You seem to think you got me all figured out.
MarkPaul · 26-30, M
@Renikari Well, yes... I kind of do (have you figured out). The thing is, I can tell a lot from what someone says - and what they don't say. I'm not saying I'm clairvoyant, I mean not literally, but I do see "into" things, if you know what I mean.
Renikari · F
@MarkPaul Lmao! I know exactly what you mean. I love it when people act with such authority over things they know nothing about. Yet another shining example of why I hate people. Well done.
MarkPaul · 26-30, M
@Renikari Here's what I think is going on, plain and simple... you are in denial. It's probably not your intent and you may not even realize it. But, you are so locked into avoiding the truth and your responsibility for that truth, that you continue to latch on to this idea that somehow it is humanity that is uncontrollably flawed. I don't mean this in a mean way, just that you should consider what role you have as one part of humanity. In the meantime, I'm here to help and provide guidance.

@MarkPaul Keep it coming, genius.
MarkPaul · 26-30, M
@Renikari Can I be honest... I am sensing a lot of anger from you. It's as though you feel you have been wronged and you plan to take it out on whoever dares to cross your path. Honestly, from my life experience, that can work for a limited time, but over time, you will literally start burning up inside because that anger will become self-consuming. And, it really becomes a counter-productive tactic because it only pushes you deeper into an isolated state. I am starting to wonder if your dedicated hatred towards humans isn't really, literally, a cry for help from... yeah... humans. It all seems to fit, you know.
Renikari · F
@MarkPaul Good stuff, lol. I don't suppose there's more?
MarkPaul · 26-30, M
@Renikari Well, yeah... I mean you know, there is more. It's just that I don't know if you are literally ready for it. I don't want to come across as some know-it-all. And... I want to be sensitive to... you know... your capacity to take it all in. It's literally a lot... I mean all at once.
Renikari · F
@MarkPaul Please, by all means! I'd love to see the version if truth about me you possess. You'll have an essay going at this point. But spare me the "worrying" about coming off as a know-it-all or insensitive. We are way past that.
MarkPaul · 26-30, M
@Renikari Well... it's just that my insight and life experience literally extends beyond any traditional boundaries, literally. With that being said, I'm only trying to help you see past your hurt, fatigue, and anger. Those 3 things actually are blocking you from seeing what has really happened to put you in this current state of yours. More on that later. For now, it seems to me you are at a decision point. Your original message is a clear indication you are literally looking for a way out of your so called "hatred towards humans in general." You want to find another way... another path if you don't object to us calling it that. And, the path that you most want to take is probably one that you least like talking about. Perhaps volunteering at a local community help center of some type - or the local library (or something) would get you out and about with people. That literally might be a good start.
Renikari · F
@MarkPaul Lol, you actually did it. Is that all then?
MarkPaul · 26-30, M
@Renikari Did what? I mean... literally, I'm just trying to help.
Renikari · F
@MarkPaul Well that was entertaining while it lasted. Thanks.
MarkPaul · 26-30, M
@Renikari The thing is... and this is part of my suspicion... you need to get past your knee-jerk reaction for instant entertainment at the push of a keyboard button. You literally are in need of making some decisions that will allow you to rejoin society at a level that replaces your hatred with self-acceptance. It's tricky, I know and not that easy for the average mind to grasp. Just know (and remember), this is literally more than entertainment.
Renikari · F
@MarkPaul I thought you were done. If there's more to say, then like I said, keep it coming. I got nothing better to do today.
MarkPaul · 26-30, M
@Renikari Are you even reflecting on the benefit of my insight? Or, is this just some wild-eyed joke to you? I mean, literally... do you take anything seriously at this point?
Renikari · F
@MarkPaul What do you think, that I take you as seriously as you take yourself? Please. I'm just seeing how far you'll go at this point.
MarkPaul · 26-30, M
@Renikari It's just that I am trying to help you! Don't you get it? I mean I don't want to reveal the reason for your hurt and sadness out here in... you know... full public view. But, I am literally giving you tools you can use to change your attitude and outlook. Doesn't that mean anything to you???
Renikari · F
@MarkPaul Nope. I would provide my own perspective on you and explain the real reasons why I am the way I am but I can tell that would be pointless. You already have your mind made up and you don't really care anyway. If you think you do care then what I'm doing with my life should be the least of your worries.
MarkPaul · 26-30, M
@Renikari I doubt you have a realistic perspective about me. But, that's besides the point anyway. I mean... yeah... of course you can do with your life literally whatever you want. It's not like I am "stuck" on what it is you are doing. I am just offering you some of my insights. I would think you would appreciate that, but it's not like I am expecting you to say thanks or anything... or show any appreciation. I was only trying to help...
Renikari · F
@MarkPaul Go fuck yourself.
MarkPaul · 26-30, M
@Renikari OMG... why do you have so much anger? My guess is you are always in search of an enemy... you have convinced yourself you need one. And, so for now, I am satisfying that need you have literally convinced yourself you have. I think once you calm down, you will realize (and hopefully sooner rather than later) that you are not getting any value out of being THIS angry.
