What is you general attitude towards humans?

Post Reply New Topic

My thoughts on people in general are this:

They're rash, they make very very stupid decisions regarding how to handle other people.
They tend to fight more often than not, especially the governmental bodies that represent these same people.
They demonize anything and anyone that's not like them in even the slightest way.
They demonize people whom they deem to be unworthy of respect, which tends to be, more often than not, the minority.
They would rather believe full lies as apposed to the blind faced truth, and use said full lies as fact when acting against other people (spreading lies about said person for example).
Many of them these days, condemn religion in any form, saying that it's dangerous to society (which is highly debatable and can't honestly be proven), all the while spreading their own religion (yes, even aetheism is still a religion because it's simply a set of beliefs like all other religions) as fact and contridict themselves by not providing the "proof" they are demanding those who believe in a God, to give (in their case proving that God doesn't exist).
They like to argue about everything, regardless of real facts.
They're quick to judge, and slow to change.
They think they're superior in some way to each other, and especially to minorities.
They want change in the world, but they fail to realize that change starts with them and what they teach their kids/what they say in public to other people/etc.
They're largely immature and it shows in spades.
People like to say that society is englightened, but the overall evidence points to the opposite.

All in all, when I sit back and listen, I mean really listen, to what's going on in the world, I always shake my head in disappointment that the human race is still this stupid.
From my perspective, it's like being in a room full of 4 and 5 year olds that are screaming and yelling, and arguing over toys. And when I hear about people fighting with their militant forces, it makes me think that society hasn't changed since the dark ages.

So needless to say, I don't like people much. I can get along with a few people, but overall, I can't stand society.

Humans are fascinating. You need an option for "intrigued curiosity".

With all the lumps we've taken, though, it's no surprise to me that so many people answered "negative". After a while, you get the optimism beaten out of you.

Personally I've found that the less autistic I think, the more accepting will I be about people and the world in general.

I think that's why autistics often have to battle depression - because they have a difficult time accepting humans.

It may, however, be rather difficult to think completely non-autistic when you are not. It's a matter of only thinking about own needs, and only think about others' needs if it affects your own needs. Extreme self-interest is the happiness potion in life.


Currently the poll confirms my expectations.

I am indifferent.

In being honest, I chose the negative attitude towards people/myself. This is something I'm trying to improve on; however, I just don't see enough effort being made by people in general.
