How do you keep yourself from hating people?

Question

I try REALLY hard to be in good spirits and be in a good mood, but everyday I go out there and just witness how other humans behave, I immediately get this pang of anger and disguist in me, and I end up just getting irritated or impatient with the large majority of them.

People are SO despicable.

How do you keep yourself from hating them?

80% of them literally suck.

Maybe even 90%.

Is there a trick?

I'm serious, they act like animals, they suck, they act like players, they're all about themselves.

Humanity is f8cking ****, and I'm sick of it.

I need to adjust my attitude though and learn to be happy, and not let it get to me but....

when so many people suck, it's hard.

Answer 1

Take a step back from hate and really take a look at what it does to a person.  It creates separation, affects health from the pent up energy, and blockages of oxygen flow in the body...

You can choose to be something other than really negative, but might need some help in doing it.  When you think negative, you attract it.  See if you can go back to when it all started and do some soul searching with it.  Letting go is the only way.  Include the people involved.  

Answer 2

Personally, I don't think I hate people. However, I agree with your statements. I don't think there is a substantiated answer to this question. I do have an opinion that some people may find offensive, but in the context of this question, I am going to write it.

There are too many people in the world. Our population is growing steadily and they now have the freedom to travel all over the world and move to any country they desire (provided they have the money). They can move to a new country, bring their own languages, cultural beliefs (positive AND negative), and religions with them, then expect us to accept it all. We are now being "trained" by society to accept anything and everything. Am I supposed to accept the fact that my brother was randomly killed at gunpoint by an Asian gang? He wasn't involved in any gang activity - he was just an innocent person walking by the location where the shooting took place. I apologize if I have offended anyone with this statement, but it's life. There's just too much of everything, happening too fast.

Greed in human beings is growing at such a rapid rate, it will never slow down. Unless there is another world war. We haven't had one for 63 years. Maybe it's time we did....    

Answer 3

Try to notice the things that are good about them, and if there isn't anything chances are they suck.

Answer 4

ok, fine the good in people

yes you may have reasons for hating them but why not try finding some positive qualities in some people.

everyone has their faults.

if you can't get in good moods.. well, i don't know what to tell you.

do something that makes you happy.

try finding some people that make you happy.

patience is a virtue.

Answer 5

I can relate to how you feel. Personally, it makes me sad, not disgusted, but it's understandable. I find that when I'm having these feelings it usually signals that I've been spending too much time around people who are jerks, or else I've been intentionally looking for negative behavior.  When someone cheats on you in a relationship, for example, it's normal to go through a period of time when you associate cheating with most members of the opposite s*x. If you hang around people of the opposite s*x who cheat on their partners, it will only make this stage of mistrust and cynicism last longer. My point is, make it a point to seek out people who aren't crappy. Everyone has flaws, but some people are more self-centered than others.  People who are genuinely interested in trying to be good people or better themselves are worth their weight in gold.  

Answer 6

People do some pretty despicable things, its very hard not to be ashamed and disgusted with such behavior. But hate only breeds more hatred, it does no good and isn't the answer especially when we need more goodwill and positivity. Try to look at the good and positive things that people do, rather than the negative as it gives us some hope.
