I hate people

At one forum a message of this kind was published: "I hate people, and they hate me. I can not live in a society of monsters, I hate two-faced people, hypocritical, evil, treacherous. I just hate most people, because they all have these qualities. The world is crumbling before our very eyes. Tell me, why do I hate people? How can I live with this? After all, existence becomes simply unbearable ... ". The author of the message is a girl of about 15, practically a teenager. At first glance, it seems that in her life something should have happened to experience such feelings. However, today more and more people suffer from such a disease as misanthropy - that's the name of a person who hates people.

Misanthropy - what is it?

Misanthrope, or a man who hates other people, is mostly unsociable, avoids society, he may even develop social phobia, a fear of society. Misanthropy can form the basis of the entire life philosophy of man, and he can live his entire life, hating people and not knowing the joys of normal human relationships, love, friendship.

Misanthropes suffer greatly from misanthropy, or, on the contrary, enjoy it. Many misanthropes can say, "I hate people and I'm proud of it." There are some people with whom misanthropes maintain normal relations, but few of them. Misanthropes have contempt for individual traits of human nature, and not necessarily negative ones. They also transfer their vision of humanity to other people and believe that all other people also hate each other.

Hateful origins

Let's look at why people hate each other. The hatred of a misanthrope towards the rest of humanity can be caused by a number of reasons.

1. Diffidence. A person depends on the opinions of others, does not tolerate criticism in his address, and therefore he tries to avoid people altogether or takes all their statements in his address with bayonets.
2. Sensation of inferiority. Insecurity arises most often from childhood. It is the cause of feelings of inferiority, and man seeks self-affirmation at the expense of others.
3. Envy of others with an unequal financial situation, material difficulties, disrespect also make you feel hate.
4. Education. This largely affects the hatred of others. We endure all our complexes and phobias from childhood.

It should be added that hatred is not caused specifically by the object of hatred, but by its subject. That is, a man does not hate another person, but rather himself. For the fact that he is not that, not like everyone else, this is envy and an inferiority complex.
