Not you specifically, but the majority of people in general.

There are a few that I enjoy being around and working with, but otherwise I'd rather not have to deal. Guess that accounts for the "introverted" part. And it might explain why I registered for this board over a year ago but am just now getting around to posting my first message.

Although I haven't truly lurked here that much (more like I forgot about the board and was reminded of it recently), I hope to be able to learn some things that will improve my life [1].

I am more disgusted and amused by the ability of people to screw up their lives, and then expecting other people to provide a corrective fix.

Wecome, welcome.

Yes, Monte is perfectly innocent...if you like math. ;)

I understand.

People are a bit gamy. But they're OK if cooked properly.

I think saying that you "hate people" is way too emotional for an INTJ. But perhaps you just mean that you don't have any need to like most people.

An INTJ will be more inclined to ignore those that don't live up to their personal standards. Hating most people means you´re conciently choosing to have an emotional opinion about most people. Is that what you really mean?

Welcome to the forum. You won't be hated for misanthropy. Most people will either sympathize or find it humorous.

By the amount of overlap between your cope and demand spaces. Welcome.

I find myself more indifferent to the majority of people I meet. Misanthropes unite! Wait, what? :thinking:

It's not that I hate people... Or even dislike them... I just don't care to deal with people that act incredibly stupid and immature. So most of the time, I don't even give them a chance to speak to me. =P

I'm not sure. I have tested as an INTJ before, and I identify with most of the characteristics, but I do get irritated with people (especially the ignorant and rude ones).

Speaking of cannibalism, I love the Hannibal series...

Thanks for the welcome, everyone!

Now I understand better what you mean,... don't forget the arrogant ones, those are also so annoying.

But I wouldn't go so far to say I hate these people. I just think they´re dumb a$$es and if I am in a situation where I can't ignore them, I just observe. It never hurts to understand these kinds of people better. The funny thing is that they´re often very simplistic.

I think he meant that he hates people and I think that you may be mistaken about what an INTJ is

Actually, I think my definition of the word "hate" is the issue here,.. :)

Humans, like many things are good in theory and in textbooks, but in practical, mundane contexts they are quite irritating.

Welcome, fellow misanthrope!

I hate people who put footnotes in their posts. ;)

That's completely untrue, it made me smile, welcome to the forum.

:p

I like them barbecued, and served with a nice side salad. ;)

I think you're right about defining hatred. For my part I prefer apathy and disdain, simply because it requires less effort on my part.

My philosophy in life is simple - people are stupid.

I've yet to be proven wrong.

My misanthropic musings aside; welcome, etc.

And as far as People Against People are concerned, I think you've come to the right place.

Part of being thorough, which is related to my being obsessive-compulsive (it's not a disorder if it makes you more productive and better organized).

You´re also part of the group: "People"

I do wonder often too though: Why are people so stupid. But it's only fair to say that I sometimes also ask myself: Why was I so stupid?

The standards apply to everybody, including one self.

Welcome to the forum!

"I hate people" I say that too, except I'm told that most of the time when I say that I say it a bit like the kid that says "I see dead people" and it sounds really creepy. It's kind of funny, actually. Because then they start edging away slowly...

Yeah i hear you.

I hate people too. Not hate as in loath more of an annoyance really.

In that sense I'm understanding you all better. I never say I hate people but I often ask my self: "Why are people so stupid?"

Well, the quality is subjective between people, but can be quite objective in one person's case.

SLAP OF MOOSE! :ninja:

You may well have no doubt seen this quote before, but Albert Einstein (surely the greatest scientific genius of them all, though Sir Isaac Newton runs hims a close second) said, "Only two things are infinite - the universe and human stupidity. And I'm not sure about the former."

Anyone who finds this to be as true as it is funny is no doubt to some extent a misanthrope.
