I hate humanity

I'm not going to play pretend, like I do every moment of my day, when there are no repercussions, sorry.
And why should I care if I hurt someone? They aren't me and I have no reason to feel anything for them.

People fucking disgust me. Spend two minutes on the internet where people show their true faces due to not having to face any repercussions for their actions, and you end up loathing humanity.

You take every chance you have to belittle others, and do everything in your power to hurt them. And you don't care.

What's the point of our existence and our advancement in technology, if we can't advance ourselves beyond animals?

You're right. It's terrible, it's wrong, shameful, disgusting and disheartening. Without consequences, people will be as vindictive and nasty to eachother as they can.

Three things. First, ask yourself why these (anghsty) kids are so mean? Is it a sign that everything is all happy and nice and right in their lives and hearts? Nope. A lot of the time, people dump their emotional shit on others as a way to cope with all the nasty stuff that's going on in their lives and hearts. ~Bullies~ in school have a reason why they're twisting inside, but what's so terrible is the only way they seek to deal with that pain, is to inflict suffering and hate on people around them. The internet also serves as an outlet for all the pent up frustrations and anxieties of kids who can only think to take it out on other people, rather than dealing with it in a constructive, healing, and proper manner.

Second - you don't need to let it affect you. Its not like in real life where this sort of hate and abuse is flying around right about your ears, and there's risk of bodily confrontation and proper trouble. Its the internet. You can be dissapointed with how immature people are, but internalizing it and getting down about it will only frustrate you, while not changing the status quo one bit. You don't need to take that shit upon yourself, it doesn't need to affect you personally.
In fact, something that is very challenging, but the only real way out, is to work to counter-ballance all the crap people load on eachother.

Thrid, imagine how much of a change it would make, and how much good it would do, if for every bad and mean and wicked comment you recieved, you gave a constructive and kind one. That will often seem like an impossible challenge, to 'love on' and forgive these mean people, when all you feel like doing is succumbing to their insults, and gratifying your ego by insulting them back. Turning the other cheek is really hard, but its the only healthy way to do it. Because the more you take of their crap upon yourself, the worse off you'll be, and you can easily turn into the very type you hate. It's called 'denying yourself' and is completely counter-intuitive, and can be very discouraging at first. You'll probably not see any results the first time, or the second, or the third. But if in faith you trust that it is the right thing to do, and keep on doing it, eventually you will see a change for the better in you, and other people too. Its a way to heal the hurt.

Just don't be discouraged when you see you haven't finished the race yet, and the success seems so far off. No shit, you're still running the race! Now guess where the basis, explaination, justification, and empowerment for this philosophy comes from <:

Your tone in OP was accusatory because you said "you", as in *I* am wrong. So I defended myself. And you said I just proved your point. I didn't restate what you said, I even asked a question.

Acting nice never got me anywhere, and it has never changed anyones attitude from my experience. I guess I just lost faith.

It's called empathy, the whole point the OP is making is that humanity sucks because people lack empathy.

Presenting these side by side, it seems to me you want change and improvement, but don't want to commit to being part of the solution. To be completely real with you - get more consistency between what you want and what you do. a.k.a. Practice what you preach.

Are you satisfied with how things are, right now? Sure doesn't seem like it. Seeking to only really serve yourself trains you to only respond to a specific type of satisfaction - the type of guilty pleasure you get from only looking out for yourself, serving yourself and doing what's best for you, regardless of how other people feel. That's exactly how the angry kids on the internet do it. Neither of you are satisfied. Here's an idea then: try something else!


If you believe people should be better, and know that is a worthy and true task, fight for it! Be part of the change! Yes I know it's hard and challenging. Denying yourself, surely, saccrificing your own pleasure and time, for the sake of serving others, is most definately not gratifying and 'pleasureable'. But that's the point. But if you stick to it, and actually try hard enough rather than giving up before the seeds you've planted have grown to bear fruit, you'll get a type of satisfaction that is completely different than the 'pleasure-for-me' I was describing. This, is actual satisfaction. And only IT is worth it. That other stuff is a lie, a fake, a hack, and a joke compared to the serenity and assurance generated from doing the right thing. Try it. And try it again. You will be properly satisfied, I promise.

Eh,how about maybe actually be nice and not act?
Sure some people are genuine douche bags but a lot of people will appreciate if you are kind to them.

You're more or less saying "People suck because they lack empathy. And I do too."

The fact is, tons of people are egoistical douchebags, but tons of people aren't. Unfortunately, you seem to have a problem with the first group, while being part of it.

And yet here you are, posting on a forum on the internet how much you hate everyone.

You are part of the problem, OP.

I never claimed to be the saviour of humanity or some saint. I am a part of humanity, and humanity is the problem in my eyes. Of course I am a part of the problem.

To be harsh: ok, I can understand its frustrating, and some times you just need to vent. But there's more you can do about it than just complain, you CAN do something about it, but for that you'd have do work at something that doesn't directly serve yourself, if you can handle that hardcore-mode-empathy.

No practical difference, either way attains the goal. If you stop the behavior you despise, you DID change yourself. Why you did so, what motivated you etc, is irrelevant when the consequence is in focus.

I don't think anyone's internet face is their true face any more than their work face or school face or relationship face is their true face. a lot of behaviour is dictated by your situation and the internet is a great situation for creating douchebags.

our ability to empathize is built around being able to interact directly with people, so when we're in an environment without that sort of emotional feedback we lose a lot of that ability. as a personal example, when I first started posting on forums I treated it as I would public speaking in front of a crowd of thousands (which it could very well be) but as time went on I could tell my attitude changed. it's getting harder and harder to think of online personalities as people; I know they're people, but they don't feel like people.

Hey, at least people are being themselves on the internet. It's the mask that most people put up in real life that bothers me the most.

And the fact that most of the time, you are no different. Have a wonderful day.
