Most people are not that observant and really self-centered.
From there just a little variance in the spectrum ranging from “I think as highly about others as I think about me” to “they are all inferior to me” can make a massive difference on how someone sees and interacts with the world. And barely anything of it is based on the actual reality of other people.
Meme is accurate. I am weird and misanthropic.
Yeah, I was going to say that there is nothing inherently illogical about the misanthropic person, despite what the meme implies.
I just wonder if non-misanthropes have actually met people or if they’ve got this idealized view of them.
Most people are really interesting if you get to know them.
I definitely don’t understand most people, but that doesn’t mean I dislike them. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It’s not that I feel I’m better. It’s that I know how awful I am and how little variance there really is to humanity.
If people are like me then they’re pretty awful.
The latter. Can’t condemn them for their idealistic optimism. But at least i would shut up and not mock what I don’t really understand.
But that’s just me, an idealistic, optimistic, altruistic misanthropist 😁
