Never uproot your life for anybody.
Never say “never” do something. There are always exceptions.

Yeah I know. I was being stupid and posted something stupid impulsively.

So I failed a calculus test yesterday. It’s just one test, and I can retake it too, so it shouldn’t be a big deal. Well I almost immediately sprung into a suicidal mood. I began thinking that I’m going to stay behind in the class and fail everything after this and get depressed about that that I start failing my other classes and kill myself by next semester.
Grade for the test retake came in. I got a C. Still not good, but at least I passed this time.
Congrats!

C on a calculus test sounds pretty good to me.

I’m pretty sure I still have feelings for an ex I now message daily and who currently lives halfway across the country. Will my misfortune with the fair sex never end?

The only thing I could really tell you is to tell her how you feel. That way at least if it gets to where it hurts too much to talk to her she can understand the reason and not think of you as a jerk.

This is probably the best thread for this question, so I’ll post it here rather than somewhere else, but what is it that you all see in other people? I mean what is your reaction to seeing them, hearing them, and being near them? This is a genuine question because I don’t get it and I know that how I feel is not normal, but I’m not sure to what degree.

What people? Do I know these people? What are they doing?
The obvious answer is “it depends.”

Depends. I can’t wait to get away from most of them. After about three weeks being stuck with the same people, I start to enjoy being around them if they’re good natured. Stick around too long and I need to leave again.

I have, but I might have to again… I just feel so much happier talking to her.

The obvious answer is “it depends.”
All of them. Do you get sick when you hear people talk? Do you feel threatened when someone looks in your direction? Do you hate people that stand in your way? etc. etc. I tend to hate all people and being in close proximity to them makes me feel physically ill and really angry, even if they aren’t actually doing anything particularly awful.
My main point is that I can’t comprehend how anyone could possibly enjoy other people. It isn’t that I hate them and am bitter that other people aren’t as misanthropic as me, I just really don’t understand how anyone could honestly enjoy or even tolerate the presence of most other people. I’m just trying to understand.

This is how I feel too. I hate pretty much everybody, if I grow to like people I’ll realize I hate them within the year. I appreciate that you immediately understood my question though. Do you also think of “people” almost as an entity? I just think of “people” and don’t immediately think of a bunch of unique individuals. I just think of “people” as this thing. I can’t describe it but I’m curious if you know what I’m saying because you understood my question that, now that I reread it after Frink’s response, might look weird to a normal person.

I am pretty introverted. I don’t hate people but I do gain a certain enjoyment from spending time by myself. I’m also pretty shy and I really hate having the spotlight. That being said, I have no problem being in a crowd of strangers, as in a crowded store or something.
I do have a wife and a daughter. It was my wife who struck up an extended conversation with me after I made some witty comment when we first met. I did not make the first move. I couldn’t.
But now that I’m married, I’m much more secure around people. I’m not on the market so I can just because myself. For the most part, anyway. I’m still rather awkward at times and can have a tendency to talk too much or put my foot in my mouth. It is after those moments, when I realized it, that I shut up for a while. Kind of a back and forth at times.
My relationship with my wife has been strained at times over the years, due to me being stupid or her being depressed. But we still love each other. I’ve known my wife for 15 years and we’ve been married for 12. I LOVE my daughter, and she’s only 2.

Yeah, in that respect I have to say the world is what you make of it. This world does have plenty of stupid people, and plenty of evil. But that doesn’t mean we can’t focus on the good, on the people who care about us, on our friends, etc.
Being downright hateful of anyone and everyone, specific and nonspecific, known and unknown—I don’t see how that’s sustainable.

What people? Do I know these people? What are they doing?
The obvious answer is “it depends.”
All of them. Do you get sick when you hear people talk?
Depends on what they’re saying but generally no.
Do you feel threatened when someone looks in your direction?
Depends on the look on their face (and how long they hold my gaze) but generally no.
Do you hate people that stand in your way?
Sometimes. Depends if I have to get somewhere in a timely manner and they are delaying me.
I tend to hate all people and being in close proximity to them makes me feel physically ill and really angry, even if they aren’t actually doing anything particularly awful.
Crowds do tend to get on my nerves sometimes, but it makes me more annoyed and wishing I was somewhere else, and less ill/angry.
My main point is that I can’t comprehend how anyone could possibly enjoy other people. It isn’t that I hate them and am bitter that other people aren’t as misanthropic as me, I just really don’t understand how anyone could honestly enjoy or even tolerate the presence of most other people. I’m just trying to understand.
It seems like you’re talking about strangers, but from other conversations I gather you’ve had a lot of experience with people you know letting you down one way or another. Strangers don’t bother me unless they’re actively bothering me. Acquaintances are different in that I know them (somewhat) so their habits have more time to work on me and annoy me. With that said I work with a pretty decent group of folk, and I generally like my job, so tolerating some of their occasional minor annoying habits isn’t that hard.

Yes I have a similarly hostile reaction to strangers, acquaintances, family, and friends alike. Thank you for answering my question though, that’s what I was looking for.
