This may sound a little extreme, but I don't really trust people and as a general matter, I think people are innately self-interested. I lean more towards anti-humanism as time goes by, and it's driving me mad.

Heh kinda sucks since we are all humans though doesnt it? I know that path well.

I can relate to what Skog said, I absolutely love to socialise and enjoy the company of others by far more than just solitude, when I feel comfortable. Avpd ect. holds me back (in life *cough*).

Its conflicting though something would happen that generally makes me angry at humankind and at times I would feel I'm just selfish in friendship but I think its due to the fact im always thinking about myself and the issues that control me.

Which really, I cant do nothing to change this. On the same note, I fear to become ego brained (already am somewhat) but then simply look into the generic human crowd that makes up this society and laugh in the sheer pointlessness of trying not to.

It's a day to day thing... sometimes I can't stand being around in public or social situations because I have absolutely no interest in what the other person has to say? Sounds selfish? But I can intellectualize that people are not always "out to get me" and are genuine and nice and should be given a chance... but when my emotions take over .. I just seem to cut and run..

I wanna be alone when I'm in social situations and I wanna be in social situations when I'm alone... hows that for ya Shocked

I love people and care about others very much.I just have a fear of rejection and think people are out to hurt me sometimes,so i protect myself by not letting others in at all,only my closest friend.

I don't like people as a general rule, but whenever I do like somebody I tend to become slightly obsessive about them.

I hate people, people in general. There are some specific people I like, but that's it. People are selfish, I can't trust them, most of them only want what's best for themselves. And often times those people who we think are good will only turn out even worse in the end. Who are all these people? I hate people!

Yeah me too, I hate people. I like certain individuals, but that's it. People are mean, they are bullies, greedy, ignorant, you can't trust them, they'll turn on you when you least expect it. I've just had way too many bad experiences to like or trust people anymore.
