"Everybody knows that the world is full of stupid people..." -The Refreshments
Generally, I like people. One of the most obvious things about people, though, is how many really stupid ones are out there. These bungling nitwits are allowed to drive buses and airplanes, vote, reproduce, get elected to political office, be in-charge of large corporations... all the while being stupid as the day is long. Life provides mechanisms for filtering-out stupid people, and I use them until they're clogged and ragged. [=

In all honestly, I don't care about people. Almost everyone are carbon copies of what they see on Jersey Shore, or are brainwashed by the governments bullshit. I really only hang out with people so I don't lose my mind. The only people I genuinely care about are my family, my very close friends, and the people I love. With everyone else, I act like I care, I make myself feel like I care, I make the person feel like I care, but in honestly, I don't.

People as a massive whole, I think I'm indifferent to. Which is unfortunate, because I wish I could answer this with a straight-up "yes."

Too often though I find that I don't really like or dislike people in general. I'm not the type of person that walks around and legitimately thinks to himself; "I hate all of these people, I'm swimming in a pond of bottom-feeders." Well ... I'm in highschool, so maybe sometimes I think that way - but out in the world, experiencing people-people and not just teenagers- I just don't think twice about them.
So many folks out there are heartless. And so many are full of heart. The thing is though, you never know who is who or which is which. The way I see it then, I guess, is - how can I say that I like or dislike them when I don't know them? Or rather - they aren't affecting me, so I don't need to formulate an opinion on them. I think that's more what it is. I'm gonna' continue doing my own thing, being the outgoing/expressive person I am regardless of whether or not these people are around. Does that make sense?
This is my first post here, I really like this place so far.

Yes. I generally do. I used to not like anyone though. I didn’t understand people and I still don’t. The things I learned though that helped me like people is this:

Yes. I generally do. I used to not like anyone though. I didn’t understand people and I still don’t. The things I learned though that helped me like people is this:
1. Realize everyone is hurt and broken. A lot of times when people are acting like a jerk. It’s out of hurt and brokenness from their past. Also when we respond negatively to someone weather it’s justified or not it’s out of us being hurt or broken.
2. Realize people need to be loved. They are silently screaming to be shown love. Little acts of kindness, simply listening, or even smiling genuinely shows love.
3. Find a few things that are good about them. I have this person I know who I did not like from the beginning but she seemed to really like me so much so that she was asking me to study with her. She talked to me about her life. I still didn’t like her. Then my perspective changed, I realized she needs to be loved and I might be someone who can love her. So, I dug deep to find something I liked about her. I began to like her sense of humor and her willingness to be a little silly. While I’m not best friends with her, I at least was able to stand her. I was able to like her a little. It made it easier for me to go to be around her. For some reason when we don’t like someone their bad qualities seem to inflate and that’s all we see. The good things about them we tend not to see.

I'd say I like the idea of people more than the people themselves. You know, the fact that we can experience those moments of elation when two of us arrive at the same conclusion, or ride the same wavelength, or fall in love, or have a good, gutsy laugh. But in this day and age, I think it's safe to say that most people like the ideas of things, rather than the things themselves, which is why everyone carries on via BBM, text, and is busy downloading apps rather than experiencing real life.

You are only connected to reality by the people around you and your five senses (sight, hearing, taste, smell & touch). My personal feeling towards internet people are they are not real since you can’t touch or smell or taste them. By the senses of reality they are only 2/5 as of what we humans perceive as real. This could be the reason of why people online express heighten emotional to one another. Negative expression in chat example, “trolling” or positive expression in internet social environment acquaintances saying, “I love you”. Both of these you should always remember, “Would you utter this to someone face to face (F2F) if not then you are trying to express yourself with heighten emotional to overcome the loss of the other senses.

Now to the people around you. We as humans create links with people to brake and/or keep. Some we assume by our senses that they are either attractive or unattractive. Some people think that attraction is created at birth other think it’s environment. I think it’s the “Oedipus complex” theory by Sigmund Freud. So look to the people who parented you. And see if the people around you are like them. if not then find someone or people like them to hang around you.

Not really. I am interested in nearly everyone. I do have real friends, who I know well and who know me well (although I make that difficult, because when it comes to the inner workings of "me," I throw up a wall). I don't have tons of friends, although I'm outgoing and have the opportunity, because I would rather spend my time with people who I really like. Life is too short to be a phoney, or have fake friends.

Generally, yes. Specifically, no. I like people, it's certain individuals that get the gas face. I give everyone a chance unless and until they show me who they really are. Ms. Angelou said it best "When people show you who they are believe them". Lately I've had a fantastic break from people and it has been nice to dip my toes back into the social waters every once in a while and connect to folks. Solitude is necessary and can be invigorating. Take a look at your circle and see where the loose spots are my friend...cut that cargo!

Most of the time, I can't help but feel that everyone is better than me and that they are all judging me. This leads me to be jealous of them because I want to be like them and not have to worry. Anytime I meet someone new, usually other girls, I immeadiately start comparing myself to them, making me sort of not like them.

So generally, I'm just jealous of other people, but I don't neccessarily hate anyone.
