Misanthropes need love too

[TheRedQueen]

What do you do when you're a lonely misanthrope?

 

Accept a life of solitude?

[Süsser Tod]

Had to google the word, lol

 

Guess you do as I do, alone and bored most of the day?

always alone in my skin, but I manage to amuse myself often

[Dako]

There are male counterparts, you know.

 

What else explains the litters of misanthropic kids in the burbs?

Do something about it.

[TheRedQueen]

Good point Dako,

 

how silly of me to forget how much my parents really hated each other

[TheRedQueen]

Do something about it.

 

So accept a life of solitude then.

Et tu, RQ?

See a psychiatrist to help you realise being a misanthrope is a pathology that can be cured?

[TheRedQueen]

Et tu, RQ?

 

yes Dako, (forgot how to say yes in Latin)

[TheRedQueen]

actually, misanthropy is not a recognized pathology according to the DSM.

I'm none too fond of my fellow man in practice, although I like the idea in theory.

 

Humanity is great....as long as they leave me the hell alone. This requires them to do nothing, but can they manage that? Are you kidding? Of course not.

 

Strangely enough there are people of various gender persuasions who find that dour outlook interesting/intriguing/amusing. My husband finds my "bad attitude" charming. I find his basic mistrust of 95% of the population quite attractive.

 

If I can manage to cobble together a functional-on-most-days relationship, there's hope for you, too.

[TheRedQueen]

Thanks shestoosmart, there is something quite comforting in knowing that.

In my family, we just call it The Infection.

Kvetching, sarcasm and schadenfreud are welcomed as a sign of enlightenment.

[yeawutever]

I would get a life and stop using excuses for being lonely, no one is an island!!!!!!!!

Geeeeeeeeez, got some anger pent up do you?

[Daddy Bear]

i find misanthropy and misogyny both to be convoluted paradigms in their extreme forms. the more i experience what i don't like in women, the more i come to terms with what i really want. thus, my search for a compatible partner is refined and narrowed.

The Infection, check.

Kvetching, check.

Sarcasm, check.

 

Schadenfreud, huh?

[yeawutever]

LOL, if I was angry I would be writing all in capital letters. I was just answering your question. Cuz see sometimes it's really the person fault if they die lonely without any experience, they weren't putting forth the effort to interact and do things they enjoy, instead they just lay there complaining and do nothing.

Is there a man-hating word equivalent to the women-hating word, misogyny?

[Dako]

As much as my sarcasm offends some thin-skinned fellows here in the forum, I'm the Pollyana of my clan. Even us dark people can find love. For a while.

no, we men won't allow that. that's why we twisted the meaning of "misanthropy" in the first place.

LOL, don't worry, I don't even undertsand what you mean!!!!!!!!

[Daddy Bear]

oh wait, there is. it's misandry.

[AwdreeHpburn]

hmmmm....an androgynous misanthrope....very interesting indeed.

 

Sounds like you could have quite a bit of fun by yourself if you were so inclined.

 

Throw pessimissim and a good ol' dose of autophobia and i'd say you're doin' alright.....
