We are tired, annoyed, offended by someone or fate, and then there is a flea market, in the line-up shop, the boss gave overtime. How often does a sacramental “hate people” appear in our head at such a moment? Of course, this is a passing emotion. As a rule, getting up on the wrong foot, we are able to get angry with the whole world.
But it is worth the strip of failures or minor dirty tricks to clear up, and we are set up very good-naturedly. However, sometimes things are more complicated. It is no coincidence for many that the statement "I hate people, I love animals only" becomes a life position. What causes such misanthropy? Is it only beliefs or life experience? The way people who hate people are called is precisely translated as "haters." Misanthropes. But what does it really mean? An extreme form of psychopathy when they seek to destroy all life? Or despair and hopelessness in search of a common language with others?
It all depends on the social conditions of personality development, on the initial premises. If the main reason for the rejection of a society of their own kind was contempt, ridicule, humiliation, we can assume that for such a person the words “I hate people” mean serious deviations.
Not without reason, after all, victimologists and profilers, or specialists in psychopathology, believe that it is precisely the victims of violence and rejection that will become criminals and vandals in the future. They take revenge on all mankind and specific individuals for the pain experienced in childhood or adolescence. Of course, it does not always reach such extreme states. More often than not, the words “I hate people” are just a pose, a desire to attract attention. Or an expression of extreme fatigue.
We all have a different level of social adaptation, different communication needs and opportunities. The one who feels best in solitude, in creative work, does not necessarily mean by the words "I hate people" a real desire to inflict evil or destroy his own kind. More often, this is just an exaggeration, which, nevertheless, shows the characterological features of this person. If some lives can not imagine without communication, then it is difficult for others to squeeze out an extra word. And not at all because they are shy - they simply do not see the need for unnecessary chatter and the exchange of impressions.
Whether a person is an introvert (immersed in himself) or an extrovert (turned to others), depends not only on education. First of all, these personality characteristics are determined by the
type of nervous system, the characteristics of the processes of excitation and inhibition, the speed and intensity of emotional reactions. And these are just normal options.
But a man who hates other people so much that it makes his life difficult, needs help. After all, it is one thing to simply avoid excessive communication, and another to live in constant tension and conflict with oneself and others. Psychiatrists and psychologists can help such a person. Very often, the words "I hate people" hide a deeper meaning: "People do not understand me, do not accept me, condemn me."
Each of us is influenced by others, more or less intensely responding to it. And only serious psychological problems can aggravate hostility to others so much that it becomes dangerous for the person himself or his relatives. In any case, the alarming symptoms - the desire to fence off, to retire, to avoid any form of communication - deserve close attention. Most often, these are the first signs of depression, which can be dealt with with the support of loved ones and if desired by the person himself.
