Life is unthinkable without contact with people and interaction with them. People at work, in transport, even in their own home: they are everywhere. However, communication with others often brings more disappointment than positive.
Modern people are characterized by intolerance. These are the costs of the modern rhythm of life. Therefore, it is very difficult for some to adapt. In childhood, they were told about love, friendship, and their sincere manifestations.
Reasons for hate
The grown-up children saw that those around them were driven by more prosaic motives. Instead of accepting the position as it is, individuals became embittered by the entire human race. The dislike of people is called misanthropy. Everyone who hates others is sure that it is his dislike that causes a lot of harm to others.
However, the hater turns out to be the only victim of his own feelings. Usually, dislike doesn't just happen. There is a reason for the appearance. But this does not mean the objective nature of the feeling.
There is no positive in hatred. Because of this feeling, wars, discrimination, violence and intolerance begin. Often, hatred is provoked by anger. But anger is characterized by a fast-passing nature. Hatred lingers for a long time. Its "owner" gets a lot of constant discomfort.
Often the cause of enmity is envy. Instead of accepting the limit of his own capabilities, a person is angry with others for the fact that their resources are greater. Hatred accumulates, more and more hidden aggression appears, destroying the personality. There are many reasons for the origin of misanthropy.
It is provoked by a difficult childhood, if the parents used dubious and even harmful educational methods, instilled in the child an inferiority complex so strong that becoming an adult could not get rid of it.
Age of Mazanthropy
An individual who is confident in his own inferiority cannot build a happy life. It's easier for him to hate others than to change. Envy often leads to misanthropy.
At first, people envy the qualities of others, material wealth. Success for them is an unbearable task, it is easier to hate those who managed to achieve it, and live in this state all the time. No effort is needed to develop and feed hatred.
It grows on its own, filling the victim's inner world entirely. As a result of negative experiences from relationships, a seed of misanthropy can also sprout. In a depressed state, a person transfers the resulting negative to everyone around him. It seems to him that everyone is waiting for how to harm the unfortunate.
Instead of mustering their strength after the blow, they convince themselves that all people are equally bad. But the need for human participation does not go anywhere, as a result - dissatisfaction. Over time, it is replaced by anger.
Misanthropes often become in adolescence. At this time, the feeling of superiority and maximalism are at their peak. Falling under the negative influence of delusions very quickly, but you can become a misanthrope for a long time. The results are very sad.
And at a conscious age, hatred will not go away. Gradually, it eats away at a person from the inside more and more. He does not even remember where his dislike for others came from. Disappointment will not keep you waiting. Everything is very quickly put in place by the adult being.
Understanding the illusion of one's superiority over others leads to constant frustration, increasing hatred. Do not assume that misanthropy is the lot of losers. Fully accomplished, successful and wealthy people are not immune from it.
Types of misanthropists
There are so many unpleasant personalities in society that even those who should enjoy life have something to hate people for. Such individuals included Yegor Letov. Bill Murray, Stanley Kubrick, Friedrich Nietzsche.
Their example shows that envy is optional for those who hate people. Celebrities hide long-standing grudges behind misanthropy. Many in society only notice wickedness and stupidity. In the split of society and all the imbalances, the fault of exclusively people is obvious.
Loser and superman
Because of their own inability, misanthropes-losers failed to become successful. Since they did not succeed in taking place, the poor souls convinced themselves that they did not need this. Dissatisfaction turns into hatred.
Another type of haters deliberately rejects the foundations of society, is engaged in self-improvement, tries to rise above the crowd, to become better than it. The inspiration for this trend was Friedrich Nietzsche with ideas about the superman.
His followers are independent and erudite. They maintain communication only with certain people, perfectly aware of the futility of attempts to survive alone.
Techie
Misanthropic techies are smart, even brilliant people. But they also have communication problems. They are so passionate about the business that they perceive others as an obstacle in achieving goals.
This type is found everywhere where techno labor is in demand. It is not easy to spot the carriers. They silently deal with glands and do not pay attention to people. However, a well-performing specialist is forgiven for a lot, so that even a bad character is ready to endure.
Victim of ideology
They also single out those who became haters of humanity under the influence of ideologies, books or films. Such people are sure that the new image gives them an aura of attractiveness and mystery.
However, there is no certainty in their alleged hatred, and their hostility is far-fetched. Usually, over time, these people return to their usual way of life or are imbued with a new state so much that they turn into true misanthropists.
From such a transformation, the poor are suffering. All misanthropes are unhappy to one degree or another. Sometimes embittered individuals try to leave the vicious circle, realizing that no ideas adorn negativity. If there is a desire to overcome hostility, half the way is covered.
How to get rid of hate
Few haters can part with anger. If it is decided to get rid of it, then it is not so difficult to fall in love with humanity. One should start with an awareness of the harmfulness of hatred. With the understanding of its destructiveness, deliverance will become the goal. When looking for reasons for a negative feeling, the main thing is to be honest with yourself in the answer. Usually the true reasons are hidden in character traits or financial situation. The next step is to accept people as they are, or pay attention to their positive qualities.
If this is still higher than the possibilities, and it is very desirable to get rid of the negativity, you can count in moments of anger. If you wait a bit, then the reasons for the outbreak will seem unfounded. Repeatedly love and hate found themselves at a distance of a step from each other. Writers noticed this long ago.
Psychologists closely associate hatred and love. Few people will be angry with an unknown person. But adoration does not necessarily turn into intolerance. Intolerance is provoked by egoism, its dissatisfaction. Then resentment begins. The hypertrophied ego will find reasons for such an outcome: either they do not love him enough, or they are extremely negative. Self-esteem can seriously spoil the building of harmonious relationships. So it makes sense to think about whether there is a willingness to give.
Only a strong personality can afford complete dedication. Even among misanthropes there are those who are happy. This largely depends on the reasons that pushed him down this path. Even a person who loves animals can become a misanthrope. At the same time, he does not feel a fatal enmity towards humanity.
If a person despises society, but at the same time strives to stand out by rising above him, then he has neither frustration nor envy. Ideological misanthropists simply prefer loneliness. A person who shuns others prefers to encounter people as rarely as possible.
There are many successful individuals on this list. They do not show hatred and antisociality. But such people are rare. Modern society has made misanthropy fashionable. In a huge number of subcultures, misanthropy is inseparable from ideals. Some propagandize intolerance towards another nationality, rejection of another faith. There are individuals who hate women or hate men.
If misanthropy does not deprive the joy of life, everything suits you, then there is no point in getting rid of it. If, at the same time, a feeling of burning hatred devours from within, turning a person into an angry and irritable individual, it's time to get rid of such harmful emotions.
Everyone has their own solution. Not all people who adore humanity are super positive. But not every man-hater becomes a villain. Therefore, it is pointless to judge only by words about a person. Actions are more important.
