I actually did find that person. We’re pretty happy, grumbling and isolating from the world together. There’s people and then there’s people, and the latter are just awful.
Agreed. I think I’ve found her, too. I gotta tell ya. This is pretty great.

I just gave up, it’s just easier for my mental health.
To anyone that manages to work 9-5 and grind dating + hobbies. you’re a god and a legend. good for you.
yeah what she is talking about is called wanting a pet dog
No, cats are infinitely more misanthropic than dogs.
I could be her dog 🥺

People do say its more important to hate the same stuff than to like the same stuff in a relationship
Best to be safe and hate everything to have maximum compatibility with potential partners.
Quite a logical wish.
Find a way to not hate people. Learn to recognize yourself in others. Or maybe you already do, and you need to learn to love yourself more. Have patience with yourself, and be more accepting of yours and others’ flaws.
She seems sweet.
It’s possible. I did it.
I think I’ve found my soulmate.
Same. 😔
Tangential for sure, but does anyone think the rise is misanthropy is linked to the documented increase in loneliness and alienation? It’s purely conjectural but it stands to reason that a feeling of alienation coupled with the distance preventing us from humanizing others might be corollary.
Nope, misanthrope here.
Humans just fucking suck.
They have to kill and eat and ‘fix’ everything that comes in their way.
I didn’t like people just as much when I was forced to interact with them more than I am now, I’d just argue it’s easy to not rely on others nowadays.
Society atomized, third place dismantled. As an adult it’s difficult to meet new people and form deep relationships. There are services that ostensibly help you do that, whose real mission is the same old thing - profit maximizing. So they all enshittify and become toxic and manipulative.
It’s difficult to not be misanthropic.
Yeah, my marriage ended with my ex torturing me for about three days give or take, and then calling the police to have me removed from the house I paid the bills on. The police then lied about what happened and there is no police report. I essentially don’t have rights as a human being - if a cis person rapes or physically assaults me, they will face no consequences. Kinda done with all forms of relationships.
