I hate most people!
« Je déteste la plupart des gens. Et je ne le veux pas, c’est une façon affreuse d’être. Mais la race humaine ne me réconforte pas. Je me tourne vers des livres et des films pour plus de confort. C’est répugnant, car la vie est faite de personnes et non de choses. »
Steven Patrick Morrissey, dit Morrissey, né en 1959, est chanteur, parolier et auteur anglais 1959. En 1982 avec Johnny Marr, il créera à Manchester le groupe de rock The Smiths. En 1987, à la séparation du groupe, il débutera une carrière en solo.
«I hate most people. And I don’t want to, it’s an awful way to be. But the human race gives me no comfort. I find myself turning to books and films for comfort still. It’s repulsive, because one’s life consists of people, not things.»

I saw this in the Notification of your post in my email. The title intrigued me.
The title «I hate most people!» is significant to me for several reasons.
Years ago, in a Chemical Lab, one of the Supervisors had a sign that read «I’m not a Bigot, I hate Everyone». I think to some degree it was true. He was a decent guy, but had a malicious streak. And he told me of his wife, he and she had sat in a Restaurant, ordered, and a a group of Chinese people came in. She was so displeased by the sound of them talking, or irritated perhaps from it, that she went out to the car, and he stayed and got his diner, and I think had hers packaged to take home. He act like he hated others, one thing he hated was Red Hair. Guess what color my hair was? I just ignored him. If we learn not to let small things bother us, the world would be a better place.
At another job, a guy came over to me, in Heavy Industry. He looked like the Motorcycle Riding American Type Guy. He says «I hear you do birding» and I’m thinking «Ok, now what is he going to say». But he starts talking about him and his wife watching birds from his back yard, and what they see. People can surprise you, it’s best not to generalize. Frankly I’m glad I spoke about birding to someone, and they related it to him that I talked about it, and then he talked about it.
Myself, It’s not that I hate people, but I’m in my 60s, and to tell you the truth, to this day, I still don’t understand them. I associated more with Technical Things, Writing, etc. People just about never seem to do what you think they should do.
A woman that I knew, divorced, interested her neighbor. He worked for the Railroad. She didn’t want him. A man that ran a grocery store, one of many in my city and other cities (we call them a chain store, he ran one store, but he was well placed). She didn’t like him, he was too fat. A man that tried to kill another man, had fired his gun, hitting the other man in the ear, that’s who she settled with. She drove him nuts and eventually he beat her up fairly bad. She called me looking for support, and I told her «What did you expect, the man was in prison for trying to kill someone»? She was incapable of making a decision that was in her best interest and the best interest of her 3 children.
Anyway, I’ve been sick, on antibiotics. I can supply the boring details on the other place we cross paths if you’re interested. Nothing special, but that’s why I have not been online much recently.

Something similar happens to me. I even remember once, when a psychologist asked me «Why don’t you go more with people, instead of going individualistic and solitary?», and I answered her, «it’s that most of the time, people either bore me, or irritate me, or embarrass me, or all at the same time», and that’s how it was.
