The fine line between needing to be social and needing solitude.

Goatworshiper

Does anyone else have problems with this balancing act? If not I'm just getting this off my chest.

I feel odd when I'm with people, without being insulting towards other humans I find they frustrate the life out of me. I find people just don't really have much valid to say. At the moment I'm sick of hearing people being demonised for claiming benifits, by people who claim working tax credits, child tax credits etc. I'm not in a position were I personally need to claim benifits, however I'm not into the demonisation of the ill and unemployed. It's not only this issue, people just being wide of the mark on lots of topics, science denialist's tend to be particulary frustrating.

I'd like to get on with people a lot more, I enjoy being social (within my small circle of friends). But I just find people stupid, ignorant and inhumane. I'm generally misanthropic and tend to upset people quite frequently by telling them that human life is cheap and explaining about a history of slave labour, concentration camps etc. Well I say upset, I think it just annoys people as It questions thier humanitarian ideals. I suppose thier lies my problem, hypocritical humanist whom don't see that they treat humans particulary badly. For instance they want to save the world and help African children, but have a poor attitude to work colleages.

I went to Auschwitz recently and people seem perplexed that I didn't get upset from the visit. I find it very odd: when I here people talking about how they think other people should be dealt with for not working (and not conforming to thier belief system), I can easily see how something as big as Nazi Germany could escalate. I find it so odd that people think that work is the only important thing in life. Surely there has to be more to life than self regulated slavery?

Today I cut my grass with mp3 player on and it was just bliss. Solitude and the world blanked out.

Wierdly, I still crave some social activities even tho people frustrate the life out of me.

    I have had conversations with people about jobs like that in the past. I have frankly said to people, I would rather die that have to work in a place like that. I mean that 100% literally, I feel if my life was reduced to that I do not see the point, this often shocks people

    Me too. I think to be honest if I lost my job (and had to have one of those types) or had to survive without the help of my partner I'd be a regular in mental health services. I can cope with poverty to an extent, but poverty combined with annoying job and sensory overload + coping with people wouldnt be good.

     Any respect I have for anyone instantly goes out the window if I find out they are religions. It blows my mind how people can still believe in all this nonsense. It is fact, there is no god. No buts or maybes, there is no god, the end. All god is, is a convevient way to explain things that your average person cannot understand or an amazing discovery to replace a dead loved one. You are born, you live, you die, you are just another species on this planet that will one day be extinct just like the dinosaurs. Don't feel like you should have to ad hear to their antiquated rules of life. You are right to say no as you do not follow the same belief system.

    Technically, I'm really laid back and respect people's right to believe whatever they want. I have a unsaid rule that: you believe in what you want, dont impose it on me. If you follow that I want challenge you. However if I get made to feel uncomfortable, Im going to challenge you. I do notice when people confess to their religous belief to me, all of there bigotry becomes understandable.

    Religion is a funny thing for me, it makes me so angry almost instantly. At the same time I like to challenge them on their beliefs and watch them try to justify it. It normally ends by me really annoying someone, or me having to leave before I explode. My girlfrieind pointed out to me that one of my eyes starts to twitch and she can tell I am shouting at them in my head. Laughing

    Very familiar feeling. When I was younger a lot of friends used to not be religous, however as I'm getting older (probably because people are getting closer to the grave) I've noticed people become more religious. Everyone I know is slowly becoming more right wing too, and I'm becoming more and more left wing. I've become fascinated with the concept of the "Scapegoat" recently, so much so I want to get a tattoo (full arm sleeve) based on the concept. 

    In a bizarre way, I feel as though I'm carrying the worlds dogma on my shoulders.

    My parent's recently bought burial plot for  and asked if I wanted them to buy me a plot. My reply was: Don't impose your morality on me, Im going up in smoke. Similary they find it perplexing that I agree with Bertrand Russel "when I die I shall rot and none of my ego will remain". What I find odd is that they don;t believe this, they are not religous I must add, but they convieniently want to believe life is eternal.
