Hi,
My fear of people manifests itself as verbal abusing others and attacking their week points in order for them distance themselves from me. Not a formula for popularity. And I do it subconsciously at places where social mingling is supposed to be drama-free (don't have this problem at work or out in public).
And now, I get some perverse/entertainment from such activities. Surely, I'm not the only one. Any links to threads with a similar topic?
And yes, solitude is the end result from this long time "hobby" of mine.

Hi Adam, welcome to SPW!
A long while ago I noticed that my family members would make sport of putting each other down. I had noticed that I was doing it too. But this "good-natured" ribbing is very harmful. I try hard not to do it anymore. I'm learning to be non-judgmental towards myself and others, but the human mind is a comparison machine.
