Question

What is a misanthrope?

Answer 1

I think it means when someone's literally  disgusted by the human species,

sweet people eh? lmaoo

:]

EDIT: misanthropes unusually only associate themselves with other misanthropes, I think they see themselves as superior to the "human race" so, no I don't think they hate themselves.

Answer 2

A dislike, distrust, or hatred of people. A person who doesn't trust people.

Answer 3

One who hates or mistrusts humankind.

Answer 4

"one who hates mankind," 1563, from Gk. misanthropos "hating mankind," from misein "to hate" + anthropos "man." Alternate form misanthropist is attested from 1656."  A misanthrope detests the very nature of him/herself.  They are disgusted at the thought of humankind as a group or at humankind as a singular type of being.  Some misanthropes are labeled thus because they do not like what humankind has become or how we act as a whole.  Many are uncomfortable with themselves as humans and do not associate with other human beings.
