Misanthropy due to stuff

[Kyriakos]

Hm, i felt actual dislike for a person, recently. For rather trivial (as in non-rare) reason: he is a possible antagonist for something.
What was of interest, though, is that i actually felt a bit of hatred, and started to focus on trivial behaviors and mannerisms of his, which now seemed highly annoying.
And - as if i was in some miserable story by Dostoevsky - i didn't even fail to almost visibly ignore -not react even with a forced smile - some half-joke he did supposedly in my expense.

I hope i don't end up killing him, though

-do you usually feel pronounced negative emotions against some antagonist?

-btw, i don't think he is an actual antagonist; for starters the prize isn't that high. Secondly... he is a damned hipster

When I have to work in people's pockets for a week or more at a time I start getting really annoyed by their little mannerisms and whatnot.

Each day I get closer to my retirement, I find it get's harder to tolerate the everyday stupidity of some co-workers.
But it will all be over soon.

I don't mind stupid questions. No question is really that stupid if you don't know the answer after all. What I loathe is people asking me the same thing or very closely related things all the time. They'll ask how does this product feature work because they have to test it. And I literally explained it to them a week ago.

They're allowed to ask twice, because yes, they're entitled to learn, but the third time just verifies my low opinion of them.

Get off my lawn

It takes too much effort to think about people I dislike whenever I am not immediately confronted with their presence.

Isn't misanthropy a dislike of all humankind and not just 1 person?

I also sometimes judge people from afar. I'll be waiting in line for something and there will be a person halfway across the room. I'll analyze his outfit and his mannerisms and conclude that he is a complete wanker and not worth having around on this planet at all. I don't know why but it happens. Maybe we're just bred for hate and battle

Usually for me to really start disliking someone a lot they have to be inconsiderate to the point of putting other peoples' lives in direct risk. I care even more when it's my own of course, but I rather despise such behavior in general.

Fortunately, I don't observe that often. Probably next up on the annoyance list is a tendency for incoherent rationale that makes the lives of people around said "antagonist" more difficult. Rather than their mannerisms, it's their impact on me that magnifies my attention.

I do my best to distance myself from this kind of junk though and mostly succeed in doing so.

When I was in the army as a draftee (no actual action, just mandatory training for male citizens) there was a guy who told me on his last day there, as he was moving from general NCO training to medical NCO training, that he didn't like me or my mannerisms. I thought thay was the most hilarious thing I'd heard. I probably surprised him when I just laughed and asked for details, which he couldn't give, unfortunately. I didn't like him much either, he was kind of funny but lazy and always late. Not great qualities for an NCO, but then again the army here is a joke anyway. Didn't feel any negative emotions towards him, because I didn't care about him enough to take offence.

Antipathy just doesn't sound as sexy. Got to lure people to post.

Does it qualify as cultural appropriation when a Hellenophone deliberately misuses a foreign word descended from his own language for the purposes of clickbait?

How about answering with an entire post which is an oxymoron, and claiming that what you said doesn't deserve a response

 

[Lohrenswald]

I wouldn't call hatred of any specific person misanthropy

Yes there are people I hate because of their individual character and actions. I don't consider myself very "saintly" or whatever
Most of the people I hate are right-wingers

But to keep it more to my daily life, there was for example Fredrik who I despise. A terrible person who could destroy anything by just showing up. I haven't seen him for many years, but I hope nothing good has happened to him

I have a very strong dislike of my coworker, but it's mainly due to mannerisms.
He's doing a lot of bio-noise (breathing loudly, clearing his throat often, slurping when he's drinking, etc.) which really disgusts me. He also tends to speak very loudly, to be unable to say anything without going into long-winded explanation that drown the point, and doesn't really listen to what you tell him (so you're saying something quite precise, and he jumps to a different conclusion that is only vaguely related).

On the whole, it feels he's kind of "taking a lot of place" and unconsciously always trying to remind everyone he's here. Always in "exagerated" mode, always trying too hard, always being too loud. And it really, really annoys me, making me feel invaded in my private sphere.

Not a bad guy, though, and no competition from him (I have seniority over him). But gawd, combine this never-ending annoyance to the fact I'm suffering from mild misophonia, and I really have a feeling of revulsion about him, and tend to take everything he does in the worst light possible.

Seems you have too much time, or no real problems. And no fun in life either.
Takes me quite a while to actually dislike people. I can count maybe 10 who I really dislike, and a few of them are from years ago. And hate...whoaa...why would I make such an emotional investment, unless someone killed my family or something on that level?

I frequently want to punch Piers Morgan in his supercilious, simpering, oleaginous face, but that doesn't mean that I hate him.

He's doing a lot of bio-noise.
