of course i don't really know you... it isn't hard to judge people with a passing glance. i guess i am partially jealous that you seem to have some of your humanity in tact.. but that also leads me to believe you haven't quite adjusted to this world just yet which probably means that you haven't seen **** yet. anyway i'm glad you at least had enough fire in you to tell me to shut the **** up. for a second i thought you were the type to just not say **** back. good day to you too madam.

Easy for you to tell someone they haven't seen much in life when you assassinated Abraham Lincoln.

actin all jaded in that misanthropic kind of way as if he's seen or dealt with anything truly trying or soul crushing. don't know ya either but you strike me as at least a little pampered.

I absolutely loathe most people. It's really my acting skills that have gotten me everywhere in life. I have a superficial connection to this century and its people and have, since the time I was a little girl, felt uncomfortable trudging through life in it.

"Sheltered", though... hahaha. My, that's a good one. I pity sheltered people because they're always going to get burned and taken advantage of, because they're so dependent on their families and comfortable little social constructs that keep everything they stupidly envelop themselves in perfectly intact. Can't think for themselves because they don't know how. It's just sad. Their mentality is a constant state of "mother, may I?"

I think I remember reading that he's dealt with the loss of a parent firsthand, which could have been traumatizing or it could have been a neutral experience (depending on his relationship with that person) but something tells me his misanthropy is a manufactured byproduct of his youth.

I don't think you need a reason to be a misanthropist. I'm pretty disgusted by humans and grew up in the burbs with a normal blue collar family and very little drama. The way I feel about our existence does not show in the way I conduct myself around others.

I think anyone with half a brain is capable of misanthropy :laughing:

People as a whole are terrifying, disgusting creatures.

I agree with both of you it was just this:

That made me raise a brow.

Unrelated- The roommate I don't like got a parking ticket again. It's like the 7th one he's gotten this month and I have to admit knowing this makes me smile.

it actually made me laugh and think "oh, god, the stories I could tell..." :laughing:

allegedly.

that doesn't bother me. i am lucky to be born in a country where its easy as **** to get by. i am sheltered from the worst that this world has to offer and glad for it. but basically you learn through observation the rules of engagement when it comes to nature. if you still catch feelings over **** then it seems to me you either haven't learned or are a masochist.
maybe we have different ideas of sheltered.

i don't hate people. it's more like when you start to notice the way **** works you get a kick out of it. like my ex wouldn't watch nature docs cause she didn't like the brutality and suffering. i thought they were fascinating. not that i like to make **** suffer but i love the competitive and cut throat aspect of it.

losing my dad wasn't a really big deal in shaping my perception tbh. death comes for all of us eventually. his was a little early but that's life.
