I Hate Misanthropy

Post Reply New Topic

I've spent my entire life dealing with people like this. I'm too exhausted from the experience to have any remaining compassion for people who embrace hating people. I don't care about their excuses, I just don't want to deal with it anymore.

Why is it that people who choose to be overwhelmingly toxic deserve extra compassion? They're not the only people dealing with depression, they're just the ones who seek to spread their depression to others like a plague.

If someone's attitude is everyone sucks and should die, that's a them issue. That's a sh***y attitude to have and that attitude will contribute to that person's life being harder. One can choose to be a bitter, miserable person, but that choice has consequences, like other people wanting nothing to do with that person.

Those people aren't victims of anything except their own terrible attitudes and yes, I'm blaming them for holding on to terrible attitudes.

You absolutely get what's at the core of my complaint. They're exhausting to deal with; no one can bear dealing with toxic attitudes forever.

I used to be quite prone to those sorts of attitudes when I was younger, but I also had the insight that my own attitude was contributing to being more miserable than need be all the time. After having that insight, I strove to improve, rather than basking in my own misery and blaming others for just not putting up with me.

You obviously have zero empathy then if you really cannot understand why some people become disillusioned with the whole messed-up world. Treating them like they are the problem when you don't even bother to understand why they might feel that way just kind of proves their point.

Yes, I have little empathy for people who insist on making the world a more miserable place to exist in. They're not victims, they're perpetrators.
