Ive become quite a misanthrope as Ive aged. My tolerance levels for people has decreased. To be honest I don't really desire to not be this way. What I desire is for people to not be selfish, self centred, arrogant, ignorant, bigoted, and plain stupid but I guess thats never going to happen.
Being this way leaves me alone a lot of the time and I have grown used to it. It's painful sometimes as I feel lonely and isolated however it's also comfortable and easier than tolerating peoples sh_t.
I tend to not be able to keep friends for long because they inevitably end up doing something that irritates me and I then cut them out of my life.
I am long term unemployed because I cannot tolerate work situations. Put me in a group/team environment and within days I will be filled with rage because I will find someone in the group intolerable. Either they will be a control freak, passive aggressive, ego maniacal, disinterested and lazy or any number of other behaviours that I find unbearable in people. I have no idea how to deal with the difficult types of personalities one encounters in life and so I usually end up telling them to f_ck off. I have walked out on many jobs and situations because of this. I can only bear so much.
Im not really sure why I'm here telling you this. I guess I am beginning to see that its problematic being this way because its not conducive towards living a full and happy life. I dont a happy social life or work life and I have no money.
I am trying through mindfulness to become more aware of my feelings and thoughts but I still feel compelled to voice my loathing and hatred of humanity when I feel they deserve it as well as telling individuals where to get off when the desire strikes me. I feel that if I don't take a stand and let people know my anger when their actions have a negative effect on those around them then I am being a doormat but I am left alone, friendless and penniless. Im not sure how to change or even if its possible.
