"I hate people!" Posture or psychopathology?

We are tired, annoyed, offended at someone or destiny, and then another bus in the bushel, in the queue store, the boss gave overtime. How often at such a moment does the sacramental "hate people" appear in our head? Of course, this is a transient emotion. As a rule, standing up on the wrong foot, we are able to get angry at the whole world. But there is a band of failures or minor dirty clarity, and we are very good-natured. However, sometimes things are more complicated. It is not by chance that for many people the statement "I hate people, I love animals only" becomes a vital position. What causes such misanthropy? Is it only beliefs or life experiences? The way people who hate people is called "misanthropists". Misanthropes. But what does this actually mean? The extreme form of psychopathy, when they seek to destroy all life? Or despair and despair in search of a common language with others?

Everything depends on the social conditions of the development of the individual, from the initial assumptions. If the main reason for rejecting a society like this is contempt, mockery, humiliation, one can assume that for such a person the words "I hate people" mean serious deviations. It's not for nothing that after all, victimologists and profilers, or specialists in psychopathology, believe that it is the victims of violence and rejection who become criminals and vandals in the future. They take revenge on all humanity and individuals for the pain they experienced in childhood or adolescence. Of course, such extreme conditions do not always come. More often the words "I hate people" - this is just a pose, the desire to attract attention. Or an expression of extreme fatigue.

We all have different levels of social adaptation, different communication needs and opportunities. The one who feels the best in seclusion, in creative work, not necessarily under the words "I hate people" implies a real desire to cause harm or destroy oneself. Much more often this is just an exaggeration, which, nevertheless, shows the characterological features of this person. If some lives are not represented without communication, then it is difficult for others to squeeze out a superfluous word. And not because they are embarrassed - they just do not see the need for unnecessary chatter and exchange of impressions. Whether a person is an introvert (immersed in himself) or an extrovert (addressed to others) depends not only on education. First of all, these personality characteristics are due to the type of nervous system, the features of the processes of excitation and inhibition, the speed and intensity of emotional reactions. And these are just the variants of the norm.

But a man who hates other people so much that it hinders his life needs help. After all, it is one thing to simply avoid unnecessary communication, and the other is to live in constant tension and conflict with yourself and others. Such a person will be able to help psychiatrists and psychologists. Very often the words "I hate people" hide a deeper meaning: "People do not understand me, do not accept, they condemn me."

Each of us is under the influence of others, responding more or less intensely to it. And only serious psychological problems can aggravate dislike for others so much that it becomes dangerous for the person or his loved ones. In any case, the alarming symptoms - the desire to fence off, retire, avoid all forms of communication - deserve close attention. Most often, these are the first signs of depression, with which you can cope with the support of loved ones and at the desire of the person himself.
