I dont like being around people, I disgust people. They only cause pain. I need too much alone time. I hope soon I can have a lifestyle that suits my needs.

I hope you find a balance that you can handle.

Many humans disgust me because of what they do to other humans. It's like I'm a misanthrope and a humanitarian at the same time. I'm an oxymoron. Or maybe just a moron. :duh:

From you're describing I'd call that asocial more than antisocial. Antisocial is the opposite of prosocial, rather than of social.

Pedantry aside, I hope it passes and also that you're able to find a lifestyle where these peaks don't occur or are at least less extreme.

This is relatable. Personally I found cultivating the humanitarian impulses and culling the misanthropic ones helps over time.

Sleep deprivation and stress can cause an influx of negative intrusive thoughts.

Poor sleep reeks havoc on me in different ways.

I stay off stimulants such as caffeine, exercise each day through walking, and focus on my breathing before sleep to help reduce racing thoughts if they are there. This improves my sleep quality.
