I am a misanthrope - but what's that mean?
I don't like some people. IMO, nobody likes nobody. Whoa - deep.
Take it back for a moment, and get your head in the game!
So, I guess then you got to be identifying the types of people that meet your standards, cuz being a misanthrope is one of those intensely relative things.
It's like any kind of negative state - you can't really put a specific name or quality on any of it because it's the negation of another state. It's not like you're a misanthrope on everyone. A hater of humankind should be into self-negation it seems, as should someone who hates people in general.
Right? Right.
So, who do you hate - and conversely, who do you like?
It's not exactly an easy question to answer. I like people who are discerning - not quite as much when they discern me out of the picture.
I like people who like to crack jokes?
Dang, this is hard.
I like picky, discerning people who are up front about themselves, what they like and what they don't. Isn't that everybody in the world? Dammit! I need character sheets and stats! Why isn't this a video game?!?
So, the litmus test is being that for yourself - are you the kind of person that you're looking for? Erhm - no.
So? Shut the fuck up and get to work!
Aye Cap'n.
That guy's such a dick.
