I'm not sure the general consensus of this thread is correct.

I'm a person who would certainly claim to dislike people. The main reason is that they're total let downs. I'd love a group of friends that I enjoyed the company of, and could spend time doing all sorts of various fulfilling things. This just doesn't happen. People are just.. crap. They're boring, self-interested, shallow, thoughtless, ignorant, inane, and so on. Not all of them, of course, but the overwhelming majority. I don't avoid people, and I try not to judge before getting to know them, but after so many experiences you begin to expect these sorts of things. It's wonderful when there're people you can relate to, but also kind of tragic when they're very rare.

Perhaps this is how most of said 'misanthropes' feel?

Your name is Tyrion Lannister and you hate people, irony? I think not. Do you wish you could " KILL YOU ALL MYSELF"?

I don't understand why this is ironic. Can you explain it to somebody who hasn't boarded the GoTs bandwagon?

Of course, it's possible that you just like the attention and need a legitimate reason to have it that isn't that you like the attention :lol:

What? I was agreeing with you but if you want to insult me go ahead, couldn't care less mate

Renewable energy should be a primary focus.


But surely following the altruism doesn't exist thing, renewable energy is not us being caring to the environment really, all it is is us inventing ways to continue our lifestyles and allow for more population growth, we realise our resources are running out, so we're just engineering new ones. The fact they may not damage the planet isn't exactly the main concern, just a positive side effect.

This. I like people, I'm friendly but people are such *****. I'm lucky to have a close circle of like minded people but it makes me sad that the majority of people are vapid dull horrible creatures :frown:

Basically a character called Tyrion has an epic episode where he is framed for something he didn't do and he has this brilliant rage shouting "I hate you all, I wish I could kill you all myself" :biggrin: Epic episode.

Besides, why is wanting attention an insult? Not many want to go unnoticed!

Seemed you were claiming my interests were fake which I do take as an insult as they are an integral part of my identity

Oh, I see. Would it be fair to add him to the House/Sherlock group of people with disabilities who value their mind over everything else and while they use indifference as a defense mechanism actually care deeply for people close to them?

It's good to see some agreement! This thread demonstrates some aspects, doesn't it? There are genuine feelings people have, and the response to them is to the effect of "you're just trying to be cool and edgy".

I'm an extroverted misanthrope, I do everything you've said (not a big TV fan though) but I'm loud about it :awesome: tbh I think normal people are boring generic knobs so the feelings mutual love

Way too many long words in that sentence for a B grade English GCSE student.

Renewable energy is us being caring for the environment, it's just that are desire to do so is self motivated.
And if I had it my way, there would be a cap on our population, so that any human exploitation of the environment was limited and sustainable.

Lmao. Actually got an A* in GCSE English.

Nonetheless, wittier than I was expecting.

Oh god that annoys me so much. HURR DURR LOOK AT THESE INDIE KIDZ. Yeah thanks for stereotyping us, because you just HAVE to label everyone, cause that's how your little drone mind works. You put people into boxes like you were taught and don't think for yourself or judge people as an individual because that would require a basic level of personality and intelligence and you sorely lack both.

God I get annoyed about this :lol:

I know of plenty of people who are genuinely misanthropic. They're not the kind of people you ever get to know because of this; hence "know of".

By some happy coincidence all of them are in bands playing similar kinds of music.
I don't think anyone who's seen any of the few interviews with the guy behind Xasthur can deny he hates people. I wouldn't be at all surprised if he has SPD.

DSBM is an interesting showcase of mental instability and extreme thought/emotion. I can't think of any other genres that have the ability to emotionally connect to the listener so strongly and in particular, so negatively.

Why is it hipster to dislike something that happens to be popular? Why do you have to label us?
