You want to be a misanthrope? Start reading the RUclips comments a lot more. All their really, really, really, REALLY stupid comments is enough to turn the most hardened philanthropist into a misanthrope.
The Black Hole you got that right. You definitely can make someone hate people when you read nasty comments on RUclips. I wish it wasn’t this way and people would start to become decent human beings.
@@arcadeguy781 but also it's not solely you tube comments that are ripe with negativity. You tube video clips themselves are often chock full of propaganda. There's video clips specifically there to spread dirt on celebrities. Or even to only mouth off at more innovative and inspired works of fiction, demonizing that stuff and hence, the creator of content. You tube probably attracts a lot of very dumbed down schmucks cause....look at what you tube provides. I pride myself on trying my best to use you tube solely for the rare stuff they have that's good. Mainly music, violent and gothic videogame shooters and stand up comedy acts. Just about everything else isn't worth the time. Even a heck load of documentations are information controlled by vevo and now, google. To free your mind from its box, first you must separate yourself from the devil's child (the MSM)
The Black Hole yeah. Videogame RUclips videos are great. I’ve watched a number of great Let’s Play gaming videos. You can never go wrong with stand up unless you don’t like their type of comedy especially for me right wing comedians. I’ve always preferred liberal comics but it’s ok to like different things. Whatever makes you happy. Metal music and alternative music has been an interest of mine as well. You have to stay away from negativity if you want to not hate humanity. That’s for sure
Im 46. My fiancé cheated on me in my 20s. My wife cheated on me in my 30s and the only person I considered my friend backstabbed me after 25 years of “friendship” because I got a big raise and new position at work and he did not. Ive never been a social person but those 3 events in my life completely destroyed my faith in humankind.
I really do feel sorry (and angry) for you. I'm of the opinion that most people are bad or at least more flawed than good. Proper empathy and emotional intelligence is something that most people lack and it's quite depressing. Many if not most people who seem "normal" on the outside, even though they wouldn't murder someone, would totally backstab or hurt you without ever giving a fuck and trying to change, just like all three people you have described.
Or after you're dead. The mainstream media is notorious for this. Once the person dies, the press is all over the guy with "Oh, he had anxiety," and "Oh, he would frequently whack off in the shower," or "Didn't get along well with others," or "Had personality problems," or whatever. The only times the press doesn't defame someone after they're dead is A - If he's a victim of crime, aka school shooting, homicide, etc or B - If the guy who died already works for authority, the mainstream media, etc, in other words, an active member of the establishment (which the media serves). But don't put too much credit on the media, plenty of people defame the person after he/she's dead too. It's society-driven.
Yes i have learned that the best way to handle people is allways confront them (alto tone shuold be inquisitive rather than hostile). I think where interaction in video went wrong. Is when Green did not just go ti mr blacks house and ask him why he had gotten the usual email. Writing a passive aggressive email after the fact did not help either
Yeah, I am apart of the 'Western world', and what you've stated is not enjoyable in the slightest. Those types of people are fucking cowards. They will hate your success, they will despise your accomplishments, and when offered help.. they will decline in order to opt for a judgement of your character based on minuscule information. When I've confronted them, I quickly realized that there is ZERO logic, reason, or any other type of grounded argument that is based on critical thinking.. rather just an *'I must be RIGHT'* mentality. It's very sad, and it used to hurt me. Now I try not to even bother.. let them wallow in their misery if they so choose. Anger makes your thinking cloudy, it's not worth going down to any level of stupidity to satisfy an urge to 'Win' a small argument.
it wasn't always like this tho.. the 80s, 90s, were rough in the usa, dude get beat up for all kinds of different random reasons- its the cameras these days that keep ppl from lashing out
I am 54 and this all sounds so familiar. For many years now I have known that it was always me that visited other people ( they never visited me unless they wanted something ), it was always me that messaged other people ( often they never answered unless they wanted something ) and no matter how much I helped them and did things for them they would never help me when I was in need of help. I know a lot of people but dont know if I would say any of them are actually friends. After many years I have finally given up trying to be friends with people.
I’m 41 and felt this way for a while, can’t trust anyone and most people are out for theirselves. I started seeing it when I was very young but it was hard to believe that people can be so awful!
@@MelModicaI always kept thinking that not everyone is like thar, maybe i just ran into the wrong folks. Or maybe I did something wrong…etc Finally just called BS and gave up friendship
💯💯💯👍👍👍. Us humans are purported to be the most intelligent species.Yet as you've stated,every generation keeps doing,the same nonsense,over and over again.How much sense do we really possess. We will never learn or change,at least not,by our own choosing.
@Rita McCloud (Hopefully your Antichrist) then intelligence might be a mental disorder that has spread throughout the species. Animals live simple lives and yet humans will complicate everything. Every single problem relating to the human condition still exists. No one has evolved and no one ever will cause no one can…save for a very very very small percent.
Some of us are seekers of the truth.The majority of us,are highly contented to think and live,like mindless clueless drones. Misanthropists such as myself,can clearly see,that us as humankind are truly our very worst enemy. Personally I want to physically distance myself from all human contact,,and not because of covid.
In my experience close to 100% of "friends" are only friends whilst it is convenient. Those with a partner tend to only hang out with others that have a partner. Same for when they have children they only hang out with others that have children. The social circles have become more like a social club membership. Singles, married, married with children. It matters little that I have known these people for decades. On the flipside there are a couple gems who still make an effort to maintain contact.
Having expectations is your first issue. Believing people are obligated to do what you think is best is another. This is a good example of why the Golden rule and cultures that follow it fall short.
In my experience, I believe that people in general have lost the capacity for meaningful relationships. Additionally, even if one were to find such a connection, we can only expect it to last for a few years at most. Only the most special connections will endure longer. I’m of the opinion that, as someone who grew up with the preconceived notion that connection was inevitable, it is appropriate and permissible to grieve, just as it is at the death of any dream. But, life goes on, and by focusing on what we love, even if that may not be other people, we can be happy and lead fulfilling lives.
i'm very misanthrope and it was hard to accept that, but once i did it was liberating- my focus is no longer on people its on hotel maintenance, skateboarding and making a mod on steam, so what "they" think no longer matters to me.. i still like some people but not most. what disturbs me tho is i might not give some people a chance that might have deserved one. but then i also revel that the general population is experiencing my anxieties during this pandemic. isolating was nothing new to me. now they know how i feel. and they are not good at it- they are not getting their daily fix of social validation and are experiencing withdrawls from that. the misanthrope is less effected. they judged us before, but now they want our strength, they want to lean on us now, seeing how proceed thru this new collective anxiety.
@@walmartian hey,let me ask you something. Do you wish you would wake up one day and find out that the world and humanity became better and better? If you want,to know why,here's this:Because i know that deep down,you want to see and feel that too.
I feel exactly the same. I am also wrongly accused for superiority when I was only honest about the reality of human condition. Some says misanthropist is merely a disappointed idealist. I disagree. Misanthropy is rooted from the most realistic views on human's helplessness. The rest of the world prefer delusion to us. Be as it may.
there was a night when I was supposed to meet up with my acquaintances at our favorite hang out but upon arriving I realized none of them where there. After calling several of them one finaly decided to pick up and informed me they went to a restaurant with alcohol because one of the guys invited theyre girlfriend who wast 21 (then why fucking bring her) and I had to walk several city blocks in a part of town I do not l know. Needless to say I could not find the place with the directions they gave me and none of them would answer my calls. after an hour of searching I finally stumbled upon the out door table they were sitting at. None of them looking for me. None of them trying to reach me. No effort what so ever. All of them just chatting away with each other. I thought my approach would get me SOME kind of reaction, but no. No hi or hello. No apology. They just kept chating away with one another like I had never arrived. It was the single most inconsiderate treatment I have ever been given. I have certainly been treated worse but at least it had reason. This was complete and total indifference to my being.
Friendship is a thing of the past. These days there are only activity partners who don't care about you, or people pretending to be your friend so they can use you.
I’m an ISTJ on the Myers-Briggs scale, so I’m naturally no very good at talking to people and opening up and I was wrongly diagnosed with autism when I was 4 (that was 15 years ago, I’m 19 now) because I was seen as too quiet so they thought I couldn’t speak even though I was naturally quiet and shy and didn’t talk much. As for my social interactions now, I would say they have been going pretty badly, like every time I would try to befriend someone and talk to them, they would eventually get upset and annoyed at me and turn their back on me. People would also take my opponents side in a argument over my side, even though my side is more reasonable and I feel like I’m right in the argument, and I also feel people often wrongly accusing me of mistreating them when I didn’t nothing wrong and was just expressing an opinion of mine, and they still take my opponents side, even though I’m obviously right. But when other people REALLY do mistreated and bully me, other people just let them get away with it without any consequences and when I complain about being treated badly by others they just say I’m too sensitive or it was somehow my fault that I got bullied in the first place. I’ve been stepped on and walked all over my entire life when I was social and interacted with others. So I’ve decided to stop trying to be social and just focus on myself instead because I’m starting to get tired of the bullshit that comes with social interactions.
I'm slowly realising if you're nice you open yourself to bullying and malice. It's a sad world but you have to be nasty to not get stepped on. It's confusing to me that being nice actually makes people feel more powerful than you, and they want to exert that over you. Again, you have to be nasty. When I go to do something nice I stop myself now and just don't do it out of principle (donating to a charity someone's raising money for, offering to give a lift) stuff like that
I was already a misanthrope, and something similar happened recently. My best friend said he wanted to go to the city and shop. I asked to go with him. He said yes and a few days later he cancelled and said he’d rather stay home. 2 days later I asked him to do something else that day and he said he already had plans. Then yesterday, he posted pictures of himself shopping in the city-by himself. Asshole.
Does it count as misanthropy if I feel like 9 out of 10 humans look out only for themselves and will backstab me the moment it suits them? Or that many are sociopaths who would hurt me for their amusement? Or I guess that's a byproduct of depression and trauma. Oh well, either way, humanity sucks.
I remember calling the gossiping and backstabbing out at work before quitting, my boss and team were all in agreement that "it's normal and even family does it". The fuck?? 😪 And yes, people are quick to jump your ship or stay on a ship with a crew you've found to be evil depending on what they get out of it. Life is honestly quite beautiful without dealing with people and their shit ⛷️
I watched this, waiting hard for cynicism. Instead, I just got a story by a nice guy getting disappointed and let down by his friends. I ended my watching session with a vague sense of envy at your state of friendships and the robust communication network system you built up that only got challenged after a long overseas trip. Now I'm sitting here writing this comment, completely sure this was not the comment I'm supposed to write and this was not the reaction I was supposed to have. I'm left a bit confused and disorientated.
How we view the complexities of our interactions is shaped by our different experiences and sets the stage for misunderstandings, Bias, and hypocrisy, When people use blanket statements like calling someone awful or bad/good it kinda shows they don’t understand the complexities of being a human but the truth is do anybody? Which makes me believe it’s levels to this and even that is complex.
friendship is forged in intense times, not in leisure times. And start when you give unconditional help, and get favor back eventually. My friends criticize me when they think so. You hadn't have friends in first place, so they act as stranger on the street avoiding confrontation with another stranger. You will do same right? Although I'm old IT developer guy, I dont have FB, that is the last place on earth to find friends. Even more destructive, it will make you loose your real friends after impose deceptive priorities and turns you into most FB people, you said acquaintance. I'm originally from Bulgaria (EU) but some of my old time best friends are on 16000 km away. All the best
I agree about Facebook. I try to avoid it. But when my only group of "friends" insist on using it, then, I'm not sure what to do. I also totally agree with "unconditional help". We shouldn't be helping people just to get a favour in return.
Daily Rant Australia i agree with that too ofcoarse we should help unconditionally but we need to understand how our minds work and u cannot have a friendship if there isnt mutual benefits. we can help anyone unconditionally but it doesnt mean they will be ur friend. i once saw someone sit on the ground and arch over i ran over and asked if he was ok he was sweating profusely and tired, he told me to get the fuck out of his face and to just leave him alone... so i went to the closest shop and got him some water when i returned i tried to give it to him and he berated me again so i told him that the only way he will get rid of me is if he drinks the water... he drank it and asked me if i was happy and then told me to fuck off so i left i rang the ambo, bought myself a coffee and kept an i on him till they came. i dont know him and thats fine with me i didnt want or need anything in return. the thing is though is that with friends we pick up on micro signs and if we feel not wanted we usually, although not always, spot it and so that friendship doesnt last. in my mind the most important thing is honesty, mutual benefits and trust. if those elements arent there i dont think u have friendship or atleast not true friendship
This resonates so much. Not just gaming community - i’ve experienced this with female “friendships” at school and in the workplace. Finally found a name for my ongoing disappointment in “peopling”. Weekends i get a break from the idiocy because i get to be alone
This sounds similar to the communication I had (or tried to have) during higher education group tasks and work placements. Augh, the bane of my existence lol. I got out of social work, going from wanting to help humans to hating humans quick smart.
Damn, Dio-sama😂. But on a serious note that's understandable people will do it to you. I'm fighting the urge as of recent years. Thinking about letting go but hoping to have things the way they used to be someday again
I'm honestly not sure we ever did have 'friendship' as species - I think it's a bit of a Hollywood myth to be honest. We had connections with people we depended on or needed to accomplish something. We have loyalties for protection against outsiders and we, of course, have preferences for humans we a more comfortable in the presence of or have shared concepts, interests or experiences with. We have companionship and conditional trust. But friendship is a bit mythologised the same way love is, which leads to us placing unhelpful and unrealistic expectations on ourselves and others.
True true. I think the only reasons why I think that can change is because of evolution don't ask me how. I just feel we can evolve to be more empathetic ----just not right now or the next 100+ years😂
Being a misanthrope is easy. It's going beyond it or learning to see the good in people despite their flaws that is the challenge. Of course, it doesn't help if you are observing human social conduct through a systematizing scrutiny because you will find even more flaws then. Add to that the general sad-cynical emotional baseline you're already in, and that will just continue to confirm your cynicism further. + Those who do scrutinize social codes do tend to feel outside, which in turn makes them feel more alienated, which makes them make them even more self-centered, which makes them feel more alienated, which makes them look at social behavior even more - and ..ad nauseam.
@Jon Venables Then I think should you consider the actual clip that we're discussing. The content creator is apparently upset that his "friends" are 1) not communicating with him in the way he wants to 2) ignoring his holiday photos, and 3)he doesn't even say why he spends time with them at all. 4) He thinks they don't care about him.. ... Now, they're got to be SOME reason why he spends time with these people, so they must have something that he likes. And comparing these piss-in-river-flaws with serial killing, rape and oppression is just absurd. There are some actions that are simply unforgivable, serial killing and rape would be two examples of that.
@Jon Venables I can't entirely follow, I'm trying to access what I wrote previously and that's being occluded for some reason, anyway, of course people have their own subjectivity - but I'm refering to the clip. And sure, people have their own perception of what's unacceptable or unforgivable, but that's not in dispute whatsoever. My point is just the comparison of trying to see the good in people who don't post emails with trying to see the good in someone like Ted Bundy is absurd. It's two different social and psychological phenomena altogether. And please refrain from Ad Hominem attacks, they won't develop this discussion.
@Jon Venables :) I still think it's easy to resort to misanthropy, simply because it's not difficult to find flaws in humanity as a species or with fellow human beings on a social level. I dare say it's especially easy to disdain humanity if one feels estranged. The challenge is to see good things in people despite their flaws. And how did I shout it out? exclamation marks? CAPITALIZED LETTERS? :) No. I wrote "Being a misanthrope is easy. " The reason it's easy is because it allows you to spot flaws in other people instead of working on how to cooperate or improve communication between oneself and others.And it would make more evolutionary sense to have a knack for spotting flaws and being vigilant than making an effort of seeing good qualities in other people. Hope you cheer up some day Mr Venables.
@Jon Venables Of course affect is involved. The feeling of social exclusion effects emotions, self-identity, and social cognition. It's not easy living as a misanthrope (it's pure shit). But it's easy to become and REMAIN one. The video is a good example of it; this guy invested time making an animated video about how much his friends sucked, to make a misanthropic point. Does the video provide his friends' perspective of what happened? No. Did he make an effort to call them on the phone and explain how he feels? no. Because he's already given up on these humans, or is incapable of conveying how he feels. At best he sent emails that we don't know if they read in time or not. Then ppl in the comment section will encourage his world view. And maybe since he didn't explain to his friends how and why they annoy him, they'll carry on as always, reasserting his world view too.
@@prunonz479 you are totally right, but then again, ppl overall are real piles of shit, you really have to make a huge effort to develop a vision like yours, that is, compassion towards them...
Great point! Nice drawing and story telling. Really enjoy it. I have similar experiences with my own close knit family. After Dad passed away, we all become so distant. My sisters and brothers who used to chat all the time have become reclusive with no explanation. It’s been years now and I’m feeling the way you feel. Technology makes it so convenient to communicate, but instead people become reclusive and prefer peace and isolation. We’re all retired now and should have more fun traveling together. Also Ma is 84 and has dementia and I’m taking care of her. She’ll be happiest if we all get together often. Never in my life have I imagined this alienation would happen in my family. Fortunately, I have good neighbors to relief my pain. Still, it’s so sad.
I can sympathize and perhaps even empathize. To be honest, I go a long time without contacting people as well. Even old friends from High school. Besides, we're in our 40s now and life for most gets complicated pretty fast with kids and partners. I certainly hope you find more people to hang out with.
the way you talk about them just hows me that they never really been your true friends. We have to be more careful about who we call a friend. Trust is a gun, you have to be careful who you are handing it to. Some will protect your back, but most of them are gonna point the gun at you.
You are too direct with your "friends". You assume they are your friends but obviously if you have to pretend they are not. Mirrors my experience of fair weather friends. As soon as I was depressed they all disappeared or intentionally acted shitty so I'd dump them. So much for friends.
I’m amazed you kept trying that long. I would’ve assumed they were trying to send me some idiotic hints rather than just telling me what I did to upset them, and saved them the trouble by fucking off entirely. That sounds so exhausting. How do you have the energy to deal with that?
I'm too lazy to find your comment about people ganging up on you but a small group always does that to the most sensitive person and it sucks. I'm surprised you started thinking like this as a adult, I determined humanity was evil as a youngster.
I've lived in the country and the city,my experiences are this.Country folk are usually generous,kind,courteous and friendly.City people are disrespectful,greedy,selfish,unfriendly and miserable.Escape the cities and get back to real civilized people,city people are FUCKED and will drag you down to their fuckedness if you let them!
Future computer gamer/avid book reader/music listener/art admirer/nature and science lover here. There, in that world of simulation, I can be anything and/or anybody at any place or timeframe. I can do a bunch of imaginative stuff from my own consciousness, further enhanced by reality escapes such as comic books, anime, videos, games, movies and TV shows, etc.... I have changed my own perceived skin color and texture, my sex and gender identities, spiritual affinities across the cosmos through multiple dimensions, constructed entire planetary systems or worlds of cultural being, complete with city landscapes, all psycadelically with my mind. Very few humans share this type of experience, as they are afraid of investigating that level of the mysterious unknown realm of collective unconscious being. There are three layers of misanthropy for me. The first layer is the one this very video illustrates quite clearly and describes that such complexity in possible interactions with others in order to achieve some shared social experience can often be better accomplished yourself without the headaches of constantly replanning everything. Doing it yourself means you can only be proud of or disappointed in yourself for what you are responsible for as an individual. You cannot diffuse those things towards other people if there are no other people but yourself present for the experience. There's zero negative judgment upon your personality/mannerisms/background/cultural differences, no critical evaluation of interests and hobbies, and certainly no stupid pathetic relationship ending arguments about politics, religion, or marital affairs of others to each other for example. The second layer has to do with those particularly toxic relationships that attempt to destroy your person, whether entirely or in part. Abusive parents and siblings from your own family or another, Fairweather friends who only care about what you are based upon the perceived status of the other of those around them, how much in money or resources you possess, structural position in life via a career or educational attainment or who you're sleeping with/married to as a spouse, who you know as a personal contact from another social group that yet another social group dislikes, etc... The third layer has to do with the world write large. Race, religion, social class, gender differences, nationality, sexuality, political party affiliation or economic affinities/repulsions, aspects of association when interacting with science and technology, the value systemic distinctions of variation within and between humans as a species impacting their overall societal trajectory as a set of civilizations. Most if not all aspects of this third layer are artificial cognitive constructions of evaluated values that although should not be imposed, often are imposed upon by others as behavioral influencers towards the population of individuals.
Listened to the end where I realized that there are others in this world even more out of step than myself. Chin up mate. Some people are so wrapped up in their own little bubble they forget that good manners are a sign of civilised behaviour. Or to put it another way some people are simply "unfeeling arseholes".
@@BasedVegeta We can also be depressed beyond the point of suicide, since childhood, and terrified to tell anyone. Which can result in psychopathy, sure, but I mostly just pity people. I want the eliete to die screaming, but the damage is probably irreversible. Hopelessness is unhealthy, but I can't feel much for humanity as a whole beyond rage and/or grief. I've been exhausted by you all since getting molested by a family friend and beaten as a child at school, while teachers ignored or downplayed it. Because they were black. "No child left behind" and all...
This soliloque was like a masterpiece concerto to my ears. Bravo! It had me going for awhile, as I ALSO detest gaming culture. I thought the video was in support of it at first. What a splendid underhanded stab into the back of shallow gaming culture. BRAVO! I know people like this and my impression is the same. 😄 I'm not sure how hold the author of this video is. I am 52 and any real passion that I ever had for video and arcade games was quite well extinguished by the early 90's. Since then as I have witnessed subsequent generations completely consumed by it well into adulthood, it's great to see people turning against it and actually taking the time to speak out like this. Again, BRAVO!
I've stopped playing multiplayer games because i learned pretty quick that 49% are egocentric asshole, 49% are scammers, farmbots and cheaters, the remaining 2% are people actually playing a game for fun. I know this isn't true but it feels true and i don't feel like wasting time to find someone worth having a good time with. Co-op with friends is always alot of fun though.
That is a horribly stupid and dangerous idea. You're also adding possesive apostrophes where there shouldn't be any, so I wouldn't take your word for being "evolved". That's absolutely moronic. A human is a human. Stop believing everything you read online. In fact, this narcissistic human line of thinking, that others are beneath you somehow, is a primary factor behind why many people are misanthropic. The damage that this tendency has caused in the past is the worst in human history.
I think you are overreacting ... why do you insist on communicating through email, what is the difference if it changed? why didn't you ask Mr.Red what is going on directly? why didn't you asked them about playing without you? what they did is not acceptable, I see. But this is life, not a haven. people are complicated and that's why they don't pay so much attention to each other. people have their own lives and they are busy taking care of themselves and their family. they will not pay attention to your feeling even if you are their friend. you didn't face them with facts and demanded answers to be all clear, you just felt like something ain't right then decided to hate everybody. - understand this: you are not the center of the universe, you are just a side character of everyone's life, while you think you are the protagonist. I know that may sound harsh but this is a fact you should have known in your early twenties.
Misanthropy is also becoming my default state as well. The older I get, the more I learn about society, and the more I learn human history my dislike and distrust for people gets stronger and stronger. However I do have 3 solid friendships (all men, never women). And I don’t plan on trading them for anything. I just hope my loyalty doesn’t fault me again.
Wow.. came on hating people And I'm just there at the 2:15 minute and second And I'm happy with your piano music you've put in the video, and happy with your soothing voice and characters' story so far.. and the points are really good to make me understand . Just thought to share these positive vibes at a time when I'm mostly irritated like hell because i hate people and wish I'd be dead. Just learned the word misanthrope ( i hope it's right as i remember) from youtube now
You'd annoy me a little. As much as I'd like to appreciate a photo of my friends holiday, I really don't. I feel like they are rubbing it in, gloating that they are having a good time while my life is shit. I feel like saying 'whoopy doo, good for you!!' would you rather your friend lie or be phoney with a compliment? Unless the pictures are something historic and you would already know that I'm a fan of historic buildings (as a friend) then you are literally sending me something you know I'd appreciate. Suppose it is considered making an effort to show interest but I don't send pictures to my friends so I don't see why they thought I'd like them to do it to me. It just makes me think they're seeking attention. I take photos for myself because I like what I see and couldn't give a damn what others think, since they can't always see the world how I see it. (the contrast from a grey persprctive) Also you come across as a bit elitist which I am a myself, so we'd clash often. Perhaps you're just more educated than me though since you seem to use words I've never used or noticed in any books I've read. Unless that is all part of the roleplaying, then disregard the above. I'm a misanthrope but need to challenge myself because everyone else can't be the problem, I've got problems clearly that I need to work on. It is a two way street when it comes to friendships too.
These days I'm a hermit and not many people seem to understand what I'm saying or what points I'm trying to make. Usually when I'm playing devils advocate.
You got some things right, but I never ordinarily send any photos to anybody. I certainly don't plaster my life all over Facebook. Regarding the Mongolian trip, the only reason I sent anything was that one of my friends asked me before to send a pic. Perhaps I didn't mention that in the video?
@@DailyInsightAU fair enough on the social media thing. I don't think you did mention that in the video (at least I don't remember), that changes my perspective of the photo thing a lot though. I'm going to assume they told you to send a photo during small talk? If not then they didn't really put thought into the request, or didn't actually care.
The last "friend" I had was in 1999, this @sshat decided it would be a good idea to just drop me. Besides bullying I also had to deal with racism plus the fact I couldn't stand up for myself because I was/am a skinny prick. And because of all this crap I got a bucketload of mental problems and disorders that make it I can't even work anymore (I have a college degree). Sure they tried to make me a cog in the wheel again: shrinks, psychologists, therapists, "nerve" doctors, lots of meds that turned me into a zombie for over a decade, but it was all in vain. Relationships, girlfriends, intimacy and that weird word "l**e" humans talk about: what the hell is all THAT?! I literally google these words regularly but keep forgetting their meaning. No, hate, disgust and repulsion towards the bipeds and society in general is where my game is. The only living entities I seem to care about are my dogs. They don't judge because of looks, career or bank account size. Ok I'm done.
Some may apply, maybe: ••Targeted Individual (Ti) ~ A person who becomes a target for various forms of harassment. ••Harassment ~ Any repeated or continuing uninvited contact that serves no useful purpose beyond creating alarm, annoyance, or emotional distress. ••Stalking ~ Criminal activity consisting of the repeated following and/or harassing of another person. It is a distinctive form of activity composed of a series of actions that taken individually are not illegal. But, when these actions are coupled with an intent to instill stress, fear, or injury then they may constitute a pattern of behavior that is absolutely criminal. ••Gangstalking ~ Stalking that is organized and carried out by two or more people. An extreme form of harassment, gangstalking consists of psychological torment which can negatively affect or even destroy every aspect of a targeted individual's life. ••Gaslighting ~ A form of deception where information is altered or selectively omitted to favor the manipulator, with the intent of making victims doubt their own memory, perception and sanity. Actions may range from denial that previous deception ever occurred, up to the staging of bizarre events by the abusers with the intention of disorienting the victims. This psychology term is derived from Patrick Hamilton's 1938 play Gaslight, about a woman whose husband slowly manipulates her into believing that she is going insane. ••Micro expression ~ The sudden flash on a person's face that reveals their true emotion, instead of the one they're using to cover with. ••Vilifying the victim ~ A psychological tactic that puts a victim on the defensive while simultaneously masking the intent of the manipulator. When malicious actions are directed towards a targeted individual (Ti), the manipulator falsely accuses the victim as being the abuser in response when they stand up for or defend themselves. ••Reciprocal liking retraction ~ A psychological bullying tactic used to emotionally torment a targeted individual. How this works is a person or group will initially act friendly towards a person, creating a bond. Then, when an undetermined amount of time has passed, the abusers will ignore, mock, and ridicule their target causing anything from annoyance or frustration to emotional trauma or suicide. ••Duping delight ~ The expression on a person's face showing the enjoyment felt from mocking or deceiving another person. ••Learned helplessness ~ A mental state of powerlessness that overwhelms a person who endures reoccurring stressful situations that are not responded to correctly, making you believe that you are unable to control or change things. ••Subjugation ~ Like oppression or conquest, it's where a person or group takes control over another by force, psychological pressure, or being able to violate their civil rights and freedoms without consequence. ••Confederates ~ Individuals who are directed to influence the behavior of peers through psychological pressure and/or constructed circumstances for a preconceived outcome. ••Pawn ~ Someone who is manipulated into furthering the purpose of another person, group, or agenda. ••Propaganda ~ Information, ideas, or rumors deliberately spread widely to help or harm a person, group, business, nation, etc. ••Manipulation ~ To secretly and cleverly controI the mindset of a person or group through some form of psychological influence. ••Suspension of disbelief ~ A willingness to suspend one's critical thought process. To sacrifice logic and go as far as portraying the opposition as ignorant or insane. ••Compliance ~ Cooperative obedience. Usually obtained through leverage or authority. ••Conformity ~ A type of social influence involving a change of belief or behavior in order to fit in with a group. ••Groupthink ~ When a group is more concerned with maintaining solidarity than they are with evaluating the negative aspects of a decision. ••In-group ~ A highly cohesive and relatively closed social group characterized by the preferential treatment reserved for its members and the strength of loyalty between them. ••Out-group ~ Persons excluded from the in-group. ••2 Timothy 3: 13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. (KJV) *seducers ~ People who entice, deceive, or pressure others into accepting or even joining in with their immoral activity. *wax worse ~ Become worse and more widespread over time. *deceiving ~ Causing others to believe something that is not true. *being deceived ~ Allowing yourself to accept lies and deception. ••Elephant in the room ~ An obvious concern that is either being ignored or going unaddressed. It is based on the idea that an elephant in a room would be impossible to overlook. ••Epiphany ~ An experience of sudden and striking realization. ••Skeptical ~ Not simple minded or easily convinced; having doubts or reservations. ••Cynical ~ Believing that people can be motivated by self interest. Distrustful of human sincerity or integrity. ••Sophisticated ~ Aware of and able to interpret complex issues. ••Discern ~ To recognize or understand through your senses, intellect, or intuition. ••Hebrews 5: 14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. (KJV)
Poor communication and assumptions, every human being suffers from it. Unfortunately it usually spirals. We always have to be diplomatic on a micro scale as well as government level. Which is difficult for many reasons.
i cannot beleive i am meant to take this literally. u r a good talker and articulate urself really well. i enjoy ur videos and i really dont understand how u have such little subscribers. i wouldnt simply think u would do very well in any social circle i am sure of it. but it is a very sad time that we live in and on many occassions ive been told that i live in the wrong year/century lol... im only 34 and i dont use facebook i rarely check my emails and i much prefer to talk to people rather than sms or whatever. when someone writes lol or whatever i usually have to look up what it means and i like to help and talk to my neighbors but everyone is in their own world and so i repeat it is a sad day, that this great country is going down the track that it is, so i do understand but i wish u all the best and to everyone else. to cheer myself up i try to see that atleast we dont have planes flying over our houses dropping bombs and so i see that we r lucky in some ways i just wish that our jets stopped dropping those bombs on people that we do not know
Ordinarily, I do do well getting on with other people (in person, one-on-one). But when it comes to the group dynamic, I fail. People just seem to "gang up" on me in those situations -- or at least, that's how it feels. Throughout my life, I've only really had one true friend at a time, and I've mostly spent all my "friendship time" with that one person. I suppose, that's just my nature. But this in itself has brought about many issues. E.g. by spending all my time with one individual, another friend gets pissed off or jealous or whatever. I suppose I find it hard to "share" my friendship equally among people, and this in turn causes problems. Sometimes, I blame myself -- and to some extent, it is my fault -- but unfortunately, that's my nature, and I can't seem to change it. By the way, I don''t like Facebook et al. either (as you've probably gathered from my other videos). I think it's much easier to have misunderstandings via email, text, etc. than it is in person. Back in the pre-Internet days, people HAD to talk to one another, and therefore, people practised interacting with one another much more often than they do now. Nowadays, people can sit behind a computer and just tap away. It's easy to call somebody a "f*$k face" or a "loser" because there are no ramifications. And eventually, these attitudes spill over into the real world where people start confusing their online presence with their real world personas, and just start generally treating everyone like sh*t. The Internet brought a lot to the world, but at what cost? From my experiences, social media doesn't enhance people's lives, it ruins it. The irony is, with all the these social media apps -- Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, blah, blah, blah -- people are lonelier than they have ever been. Sorry, I'm ranting... I'll stop now ;)
Daily Rant Australia im with u in everything u say i also hate what its doing to society and people as individuals, i refuse to use twitter or facebook and actually youtube is the only social media i use and im starting to think its bad i also have email but only coz i had no option... in saying that, most people think im a freak for not having those platforms since its probably the norm now and the rest say im born in the wrong year or that i would be more suited to the 1800s. also its taken me this long to come back to youtube so that shows how much i use it most people use it multiple times a day, in saying that i have found myself good group of friends and even though they might use those platforms they understand that i dont and therefor to speak to me they cant use their phone unless its urgent and even then its only a phonecall or sms. that just means that they speak to me less often but i dont think they dissaprove or dislike. i value people more than i value the phone or computer and i think they like that. i think with friends u need mutual benefits and im not saying in the way most people might be saying that, im talking about providing others what they want or need emotionally, i think i provide comfort coz they have a down to earth honnest thinker that might provoke them in a good way with different ideas and i dont think they get that anywhere else. in turn they provide me with a friend so i dont get so lonely. in all honesty i think u just havent come accross the right people yet. also im only 34 and from sydney im not sure about u but its ok u need not say, but ur videos are inspirational to me as in we still have good and serious thinkers who can think outside of the box in this country, i admire that and i think anyone who doesnt see that is the one that is missing out. i really hope it doesnt upset u too much what i mean is its their loss not urs. also i think i read that all great thinkers struggled in social circles and who knows maybe u fall in that category. again goodluck and i wish u all the best
thats how i am too. i think this is because most people are horrible people. its rare to find a genuine good person. so when you are the genuine good person , its even more hard to find another like you because you are most likely the one that got away in everyones life that you stepped into . sad but sucks. sometimes i wish i could be a really shit person just to ensure having people and friends around because it almost seems like the people who care the least/arent good friends/ arent good people have friends and get along with others so easily. maybe to fix this issue we should be more fucked up. but then youll have to give people shit and take their shit as well. its like with people we cant fucking win . idk . @@DailyInsightAU
You expect too much of people, we're only monkeys my friend. I've had the same problem for most of my life to the point where I started to wonder if I was the unreasonable one for caring about courtesy, and the truth is, I was. People only care for themselves and usually only care about you as you relate to them. There's nothing really wrong with that and I've come to expect it. I accept that I live in a world of monkeys and I'm just a more particular monkeys than most others. I have no close friends and only one or two close family members and I like it that way. I've had good friends and I enjoy it while it lasts but it usually fades away, nothing is forever. I don't trust others as far as I can throw them until I've seen them when thier guard is down. The thing is nobody said people were supposed to be good to eachother, some of us just are and most of us aren't, that's the way it is.
We have laws to try to enforce goodness, e.g. don't steal, don't murder, don't cheat, but yes, generally speaking, people will often try to get away with as much as they can.
While we all may be misanthropists, we shouldn't just lie down and accept it as a fact. Deep down we are unhappy with ourselves, and subconsciously project that onto others
This sounds more to me like you’ve had bad luck with your choices of friends, you can’t blame humanity as a whole for your personal experiences with rude people.
@@DailyInsightAU I completely understand , I myself recently discovered the term “ misanthropy “ and thought I was one until I realized that I have had bad experiences with my choices in friends & in the past girlfriends, this has lead me to believe that the vast majority of people are similar to the ones who hurt me in the past so I am naturally hesitant to trust letting others in my life. However, this is an unhealthy way to think. If you don’t invite new people into your life you will never see the diversity of the human spectrum. Those that hurt you are nothing more then an inconvenience in your life and a lesson to be learned from, deciding you hate the majority of humans as a whole will hurt you more then anyone. I’m just saying all this because I feel like I can relate to you but I also feel like the way your dealing with your feelings is unhealthy for yourself. That’s all. God bless & take care.
I always prefer to know whether or not people are going to show up for something. Sometimes relying on others makes life difficult. When I play mobile games that require more than one person and others don’t show up it can get to me. The game I’m referring to is Pokémon Go. Please do not make fun of me for liking this game. I also don’t fit in well with the rest of society and I finally found a group that is very accepting but having to rely on them to play the parts of the game that requires multiple people can be very difficult and having to deal with people who are around while I’m doing multi player and aren’t playing the game and start becoming very rude and nasty gets to me.
Naa, I haven't played with them since. I have seen a couple of them on a one-to-one basis, and they seem fairly friendly, but ultimately, I just don't know what happened apart from what I explained in the video.
This is your best vid ever. I say that I’d be your friend but then you might message me and that would be a lot of hard work 😜 (send me a message if you want anyway)
I felt the same way all my life. Friends are just there for convenience. And ever since my brothers and sister had children they became distant too. At the end of the day, no one really gives a shit about you. I am lucky to have a girlfriend now who really loves me. I know though that her love is conditional. She wants to have children. If I won't provide her with a family than her love will disappear. That's the reality. I think we need to understand that's all about change. At one moment in my life one person could be everything to me (an ex girlfriend), two months down the line I'm not gonna even say hello to that person if i accidentally encounter them. The only person who always cared for me my entire life, truly , is my mother. It's obvious why, because of biology. Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that at the end of the day, we are alone in this world. What unites people is not a personal bond, but a system. A tribe they belong to, a religion, a common belief like veganism, or a common fate. What matters in life is the story not the protagonists of the story or other participants. We look for love from other people but really we should look for love from the world, from it's stories, this is what binds people, the things that happen in this world, the events, the fights for a cause, the ideologies, art. Instead of focusing on meeting people who care for us we should focus on finding the passions and places that truly make us happy and there the right people will be drawn to us (temporarily, and that's fine..). I think you should start confronting people. Be open about your pain, be open about the things that bother you. Don't bottle it all up. Let the world know what you truly want. Learn how to ask for things instead of just waiting for them to happen. And then chances are they will happen.
Don't be to quick to think anyone loves you on this planet, EVER..people don't love anybody or anything, not even themselves..there is no love on this world NONE
Yes, I have had the same experience, and have little patience these days. Honestly, tit for tat is the best game in town. My contacts have collapsed by 90% as I now only give one chance, but I am definitely a lot happier for it. Do not waste your life on people who do not have good manners. And, I might add, I have no hesitation in writing off people who are pro-Putin, pro-Trump (or pro-Morrison, though thank God he's gone)..
sometimes we cant say that shit or act on it but it pops into mind every now and then . lol theres levels to ts . and also you could just be adding to your own definition because on google it says dislike, not hate .
You want to be a misanthrope? Start reading the RUclips comments a lot more. All their really, really, really, REALLY stupid comments is enough to turn the most hardened philanthropist into a misanthrope.
The Black Hole you got that right. You definitely can make someone hate people when you read nasty comments on RUclips. I wish it wasn’t this way and people would start to become decent human beings.
@@arcadeguy781 yes. Thank you. The only saving grace seems to be that at least there's some people with common sense.
The Black Hole right
@@arcadeguy781 but also it's not solely you tube comments that are ripe with negativity. You tube video clips themselves are often chock full of propaganda. There's video clips specifically there to spread dirt on celebrities. Or even to only mouth off at more innovative and inspired works of fiction, demonizing that stuff and hence, the creator of content. You tube probably attracts a lot of very dumbed down schmucks cause....look at what you tube provides. I pride myself on trying my best to use you tube solely for the rare stuff they have that's good. Mainly music, violent and gothic videogame shooters and stand up comedy acts. Just about everything else isn't worth the time. Even a heck load of documentations are information controlled by vevo and now, google. To free your mind from its box, first you must separate yourself from the devil's child (the MSM)
The Black Hole yeah. Videogame RUclips videos are great. I’ve watched a number of great Let’s Play gaming videos. You can never go wrong with stand up unless you don’t like their type of comedy especially for me right wing comedians. I’ve always preferred liberal comics but it’s ok to like different things. Whatever makes you happy. Metal music and alternative music has been an interest of mine as well. You have to stay away from negativity if you want to not hate humanity. That’s for sure
Im 46. My fiancé cheated on me in my 20s. My wife cheated on me in my 30s and the only person I considered my friend backstabbed me after 25 years of “friendship” because I got a big raise and new position at work and he did not. Ive never been a social person but those 3 events in my life completely destroyed my faith in humankind.
Aww dang man I’m sorry about that.
Sorry to hear about that 😢 how are u doing nowadays?
Yes, people aren't worth your time. They are liabilities.
I really do feel sorry (and angry) for you. I'm of the opinion that most people are bad or at least more flawed than good. Proper empathy and emotional intelligence is something that most people lack and it's quite depressing. Many if not most people who seem "normal" on the outside, even though they wouldn't murder someone, would totally backstab or hurt you without ever giving a fuck and trying to change, just like all three people you have described.
I've found this to be quite common in western relationships, people are scared of confrontation, they prefer "Talking S**t" behind your back
Or after you're dead. The mainstream media is notorious for this. Once the person dies, the press is all over the guy with "Oh, he had anxiety," and "Oh, he would frequently whack off in the shower," or "Didn't get along well with others," or "Had personality problems," or whatever. The only times the press doesn't defame someone after they're dead is
A - If he's a victim of crime, aka school shooting, homicide, etc or
B - If the guy who died already works for authority, the mainstream media, etc, in other words, an active member of the establishment (which the media serves).
But don't put too much credit on the media, plenty of people defame the person after he/she's dead too. It's society-driven.
Yes i have learned that the best way to handle people is allways confront them (alto tone shuold be inquisitive rather than hostile). I think where interaction in video went wrong. Is when Green did not just go ti mr blacks house and ask him why he had gotten the usual email. Writing a passive aggressive email after the fact did not help either
Yeah, I am apart of the 'Western world', and what you've stated is not enjoyable in the slightest. Those types of people are fucking cowards. They will hate your success, they will despise your accomplishments, and when offered help.. they will decline in order to opt for a judgement of your character based on minuscule information. When I've confronted them, I quickly realized that there is ZERO logic, reason, or any other type of grounded argument that is based on critical thinking.. rather just an *'I must be RIGHT'* mentality. It's very sad, and it used to hurt me. Now I try not to even bother.. let them wallow in their misery if they so choose. Anger makes your thinking cloudy, it's not worth going down to any level of stupidity to satisfy an urge to 'Win' a small argument.
John Smith I totally agree 💕
it wasn't always like this tho.. the 80s, 90s, were rough in the usa, dude get beat up for all kinds of different random reasons- its the cameras these days that keep ppl from lashing out
I am 54 and this all sounds so familiar. For many years now I have known that it was always me that visited other people ( they never visited me unless they wanted something ), it was always me that messaged other people ( often they never answered unless they wanted something ) and no matter how much I helped them and did things for them they would never help me when I was in need of help. I know a lot of people but dont know if I would say any of them are actually friends. After many years I have finally given up trying to be friends with people.
I think I am starting to think like that too, people are just users
I experience same as you.
I’m 41 and felt this way for a while, can’t trust anyone and most people are out for theirselves. I started seeing it when I was very young but it was hard to believe that people can be so awful!
Same here, kinda gave it all up.
@@MelModicaI always kept thinking that not everyone is like thar, maybe i just ran into the wrong folks. Or maybe I did something wrong…etc
Finally just called BS and gave up friendship
Humans are crazy. Repeating the same thing over and over expecting a different result throughout its entire history.
Like Communism.

Us humans are purported to be the most intelligent species.Yet as you've stated,every generation keeps doing,the same nonsense,over and over again.How much sense do we really possess.
We will never learn or change,at least not,by our own choosing.
@@sariahlace5944 I’m just suggesting that perhaps intelligence is a form of insanity
👍
@Rita McCloud (Hopefully your Antichrist) then intelligence might be a mental disorder that has spread throughout the species. Animals live simple lives and yet humans will complicate everything. Every single problem relating to the human condition still exists. No one has evolved and no one ever will cause no one can…save for a very very very small percent.
This is why I have little too no friends in my life😕
@@BasedVegeta I love your pfp and username
Only pick the people who lift you up. Don't be too desperate to choose friends quickly.

@@ellekoopatroopa8005 even those can be decieving
If you were really a misanthrope, that wouldn't even bother you.
Some of us are seekers of the truth.The majority of us,are highly contented to think and live,like mindless clueless drones.
Misanthropists such as myself,can clearly see,that us as humankind are truly our very worst enemy. Personally I want to physically distance myself from all human contact,,and not because of covid.
In my experience close to 100% of "friends" are only friends whilst it is convenient. Those with a partner tend to only hang out with others that have a partner. Same for when they have children they only hang out with others that have children. The social circles have become more like a social club membership. Singles, married, married with children. It matters little that I have known these people for decades. On the flipside there are a couple gems who still make an effort to maintain contact.
Having expectations is your first issue. Believing people are obligated to do what you think is best is another. This is a good example of why the Golden rule and cultures that follow it fall short.
This is so familiar. Friendship has a lifespan. Being friendly is enough for me now.
There ya go🙏
There are no such thing as friends these days. Just associates with common goals. Just saying.
The more I think about the people I once called friends the truer this comment becomes.
And common values
True but why & what does it mean? Bcs i find it very important & indicative. Of the turning of humans to robots.
@@ioannafardella3717for sake to survive
I just don’t have the energy to engage with selfish or willfully stupid people anymore. It wears me out and makes me sad.
Sad, but true. I'm in the same situation.
In my experience, I believe that people in general have lost the capacity for meaningful relationships. Additionally, even if one were to find such a connection, we can only expect it to last for a few years at most. Only the most special connections will endure longer.
I’m of the opinion that, as someone who grew up with the preconceived notion that connection was inevitable, it is appropriate and permissible to grieve, just as it is at the death of any dream. But, life goes on, and by focusing on what we love, even if that may not be other people, we can be happy and lead fulfilling lives.
I agree with you.
Nicely, and eloquently spoken Jonro
i'm very misanthrope and it was hard to accept that, but once i did it was liberating- my focus is no longer on people its on hotel maintenance, skateboarding and making a mod on steam, so what "they" think no longer matters to me.. i still like some people but not most. what disturbs me tho is i might not give some people a chance that might have deserved one. but then i also revel that the general population is experiencing my anxieties during this pandemic. isolating was nothing new to me. now they know how i feel. and they are not good at it- they are not getting their daily fix of social validation and are experiencing withdrawls from that. the misanthrope is less effected. they judged us before, but now they want our strength, they want to lean on us now, seeing how proceed thru this new collective anxiety.
@@walmartian hey,let me ask you something. Do you wish you would wake up one day and find out that the world and humanity became better and better?
If you want,to know why,here's this:Because i know that deep down,you want to see and feel that too.
I feel exactly the same.
I am also wrongly accused for superiority when I was only honest about the reality of human condition.
Some says misanthropist is merely a disappointed idealist. I disagree. Misanthropy is rooted from the most realistic views on human's helplessness.
The rest of the world prefer delusion to us. Be as it may.
there was a night when I was supposed to meet up with my acquaintances at our favorite hang out but upon arriving I realized none of them where there. After calling several of them one finaly decided to pick up and informed me they went to a restaurant with alcohol because one of the guys invited theyre girlfriend who wast 21 (then why fucking bring her) and I had to walk several city blocks in a part of town I do not l know. Needless to say I could not find the place with the directions they gave me and none of them would answer my calls. after an hour of searching I finally stumbled upon the out door table they were sitting at. None of them looking for me. None of them trying to reach me. No effort what so ever. All of them just chatting away with each other. I thought my approach would get me SOME kind of reaction, but no. No hi or hello. No apology. They just kept chating away with one another like I had never arrived. It was the single most inconsiderate treatment I have ever been given. I have certainly been treated worse but at least it had reason. This was complete and total indifference to my being.
Friendship is a thing of the past. These days there are only activity partners who don't care about you, or people pretending to be your friend so they can use you.
I’m an ISTJ on the Myers-Briggs scale, so I’m naturally no very good at talking to people and opening up and I was wrongly diagnosed with autism when I was 4 (that was 15 years ago, I’m 19 now) because I was seen as too quiet so they thought I couldn’t speak even though I was naturally quiet and shy and didn’t talk much. As for my social interactions now, I would say they have been going pretty badly, like every time I would try to befriend someone and talk to them, they would eventually get upset and annoyed at me and turn their back on me. People would also take my opponents side in a argument over my side, even though my side is more reasonable and I feel like I’m right in the argument, and I also feel people often wrongly accusing me of mistreating them when I didn’t nothing wrong and was just expressing an opinion of mine, and they still take my opponents side, even though I’m obviously right. But when other people REALLY do mistreated and bully me, other people just let them get away with it without any consequences and when I complain about being treated badly by others they just say I’m too sensitive or it was somehow my fault that I got bullied in the first place. I’ve been stepped on and walked all over my entire life when I was social and interacted with others. So I’ve decided to stop trying to be social and just focus on myself instead because I’m starting to get tired of the bullshit that comes with social interactions.
Thanks for sharing
@Dank Starscream I can totally agree with you
@@BasedVegeta Didn't know about the Junko case until now... Jesus...
Yeah, humans really aren't worth it...
I'm slowly realising if you're nice you open yourself to bullying and malice. It's a sad world but you have to be nasty to not get stepped on. It's confusing to me that being nice actually makes people feel more powerful than you, and they want to exert that over you. Again, you have to be nasty. When I go to do something nice I stop myself now and just don't do it out of principle (donating to a charity someone's raising money for, offering to give a lift) stuff like that
You are me, I am you. (Also an INxx, most likely INFJ)
I was already a misanthrope, and something similar happened recently. My best friend said he wanted to go to the city and shop. I asked to go with him. He said yes and a few days later he cancelled and said he’d rather stay home. 2 days later I asked him to do something else that day and he said he already had plans. Then yesterday, he posted pictures of himself shopping in the city-by himself. Asshole.
When you realize how many humans are NPC's it is impossible to not become jaded as a player with agency!
I come back an watch this it validates my feelings the older I get.
not lonely just sick of people
That part
Does it count as misanthropy if I feel like 9 out of 10 humans look out only for themselves and will backstab me the moment it suits them? Or that many are sociopaths who would hurt me for their amusement?
Or I guess that's a byproduct of depression and trauma. Oh well, either way, humanity sucks.
Yeah humanity is awful
I remember calling the gossiping and backstabbing out at work before quitting, my boss and team were all in agreement that "it's normal and even family does it". The fuck?? 😪 And yes, people are quick to jump your ship or stay on a ship with a crew you've found to be evil depending on what they get out of it. Life is honestly quite beautiful without dealing with people and their shit ⛷️
Exactly, humans suck big big big time.
thats cynicism
I came to the right place. I've noticed the word, "petty " is often used for someone who sees right through others' bullshit.
In the words of Jean-Paul Sartre " hell is other people "
Very true.
I watched this, waiting hard for cynicism. Instead, I just got a story by a nice guy getting disappointed and let down by his friends. I ended my watching session with a vague sense of envy at your state of friendships and the robust communication network system you built up that only got challenged after a long overseas trip.
Now I'm sitting here writing this comment, completely sure this was not the comment I'm supposed to write and this was not the reaction I was supposed to have. I'm left a bit confused and disorientated.
How we view the complexities of our interactions is shaped by our different experiences and sets the stage for misunderstandings, Bias, and hypocrisy, When people use blanket statements like calling someone awful or bad/good it kinda shows they don’t understand the complexities of being a human but the truth is do anybody? Which makes me believe it’s levels to this and even that is complex.
friendship is forged in intense times, not in leisure times. And start when you give unconditional help, and get favor back eventually. My friends criticize me when they think so. You hadn't have friends in first place, so they act as stranger on the street avoiding confrontation with another stranger. You will do same right? Although I'm old IT developer guy, I dont have FB, that is the last place on earth to find friends. Even more destructive, it will make you loose your real friends after impose deceptive priorities and turns you into most FB people, you said acquaintance. I'm originally from Bulgaria (EU) but some of my old time best friends are on 16000 km away. All the best
I agree about Facebook. I try to avoid it. But when my only group of "friends" insist on using it, then, I'm not sure what to do. I also totally agree with "unconditional help". We shouldn't be helping people just to get a favour in return.
Daily Rant Australia i agree with that too ofcoarse we should help unconditionally but we need to understand how our minds work and u cannot have a friendship if there isnt mutual benefits. we can help anyone unconditionally but it doesnt mean they will be ur friend. i once saw someone sit on the ground and arch over i ran over and asked if he was ok he was sweating profusely and tired, he told me to get the fuck out of his face and to just leave him alone... so i went to the closest shop and got him some water when i returned i tried to give it to him and he berated me again so i told him that the only way he will get rid of me is if he drinks the water... he drank it and asked me if i was happy and then told me to fuck off so i left i rang the ambo, bought myself a coffee and kept an i on him till they came. i dont know him and thats fine with me i didnt want or need anything in return. the thing is though is that with friends we pick up on micro signs and if we feel not wanted we usually, although not always, spot it and so that friendship doesnt last. in my mind the most important thing is honesty, mutual benefits and trust. if those elements arent there i dont think u have friendship or atleast not true friendship
It’s not just the way people function. It’s that so many people accept it, like it’s normal.
This resonates so much. Not just gaming community - i’ve experienced this with female “friendships” at school and in the workplace. Finally found a name for my ongoing disappointment in “peopling”. Weekends i get a break from the idiocy because i get to be alone
This sounds similar to the communication I had (or tried to have) during higher education group tasks and work placements. Augh, the bane of my existence lol. I got out of social work, going from wanting to help humans to hating humans quick smart.
Bianca Pomponio They can wear you down. I admire your courage. I know I couldn’t do it day after day.
Amen brother
I do not remember reservoir dogs being like this
Genuinely LOLed
Hahaha
I renounced my humanity years ago.
Damn, Dio-sama😂. But on a serious note that's understandable people will do it to you. I'm fighting the urge as of recent years. Thinking about letting go but hoping to have things the way they used to be someday again
I'm honestly not sure we ever did have 'friendship' as species - I think it's a bit of a Hollywood myth to be honest. We had connections with people we depended on or needed to accomplish something. We have loyalties for protection against outsiders and we, of course, have preferences for humans we a more comfortable in the presence of or have shared concepts, interests or experiences with. We have companionship and conditional trust. But friendship is a bit mythologised the same way love is, which leads to us placing unhelpful and unrealistic expectations on ourselves and others.
True true. I think the only reasons why I think that can change is because of evolution don't ask me how. I just feel we can evolve to be more empathetic ----just not right now or the next 100+ years😂
Name's are for friends, so I don't need one. -Agent47. I hope you find a new and improved gaming squad.
Being a misanthrope is easy. It's going beyond it or learning to see the good in people despite their flaws that is the challenge. Of course, it doesn't help if you are observing human social conduct through a systematizing scrutiny because you will find even more flaws then. Add to that the general sad-cynical emotional baseline you're already in, and that will just continue to confirm your cynicism further. + Those who do scrutinize social codes do tend to feel outside, which in turn makes them feel more alienated, which makes them make them even more self-centered, which makes them feel more alienated, which makes them look at social behavior even more - and ..ad nauseam.
@Jon Venables Then I think should you consider the actual clip that we're discussing. The content creator is apparently upset that his "friends" are 1) not communicating with him in the way he wants to 2) ignoring his holiday photos, and 3)he doesn't even say why he spends time with them at all. 4) He thinks they don't care about him..
... Now, they're got to be SOME reason why he spends time with these people, so they must have something that he likes.
And comparing these piss-in-river-flaws with serial killing, rape and oppression is just absurd. There are some actions that are simply unforgivable, serial killing and rape would be two examples of that.
@Jon Venables I can't entirely follow, I'm trying to access what I wrote previously and that's being occluded for some reason, anyway, of course people have their own subjectivity - but I'm refering to the clip. And sure, people have their own perception of what's unacceptable or unforgivable, but that's not in dispute whatsoever. My point is just the comparison of trying to see the good in people who don't post emails with trying to see the good in someone like Ted Bundy is absurd. It's two different social and psychological phenomena altogether.
And please refrain from Ad Hominem attacks, they won't develop this discussion.
@Jon Venables :) I still think it's easy to resort to misanthropy, simply because it's not difficult to find flaws in humanity as a species or with fellow human beings on a social level. I dare say it's especially easy to disdain humanity if one feels estranged. The challenge is to see good things in people despite their flaws. And how did I shout it out? exclamation marks? CAPITALIZED LETTERS? :) No. I wrote "Being a misanthrope is easy. " The reason it's easy is because it allows you to spot flaws in other people instead of working on how to cooperate or improve communication between oneself and others.And it would make more evolutionary sense to have a knack for spotting flaws and being vigilant than making an effort of seeing good qualities in other people. Hope you cheer up some day Mr Venables.
@Jon Venables Of course affect is involved. The feeling of social exclusion effects emotions, self-identity, and social cognition. It's not easy living as a misanthrope (it's pure shit). But it's easy to become and REMAIN one. The video is a good example of it; this guy invested time making an animated video about how much his friends sucked, to make a misanthropic point. Does the video provide his friends' perspective of what happened? No. Did he make an effort to call them on the phone and explain how he feels? no. Because he's already given up on these humans, or is incapable of conveying how he feels. At best he sent emails that we don't know if they read in time or not. Then ppl in the comment section will encourage his world view. And maybe since he didn't explain to his friends how and why they annoy him, they'll carry on as always, reasserting his world view too.
@@prunonz479 you are totally right, but then again, ppl overall are real piles of shit, you really have to make a huge effort to develop a vision like yours, that is, compassion towards them...
Great point! Nice drawing and story telling. Really enjoy it.
I have similar experiences with my own close knit family. After Dad passed away, we all become so distant.
My sisters and brothers who used to chat all the time have become reclusive with no explanation.
It’s been years now and I’m feeling the way you feel.
Technology makes it so convenient to communicate, but instead people become reclusive and prefer peace and isolation.
We’re all retired now and should have more fun traveling together.
Also Ma is 84 and has dementia and I’m taking care of her. She’ll be happiest if we all get together often.
Never in my life have I imagined this alienation would happen in my family.
Fortunately, I have good neighbors to relief my pain. Still, it’s so sad.
I can sympathize and perhaps even empathize. To be honest, I go a long time without contacting people as well. Even old friends from High school. Besides, we're in our 40s now and life for most gets complicated pretty fast with kids and partners. I certainly hope you find more people to hang out with.
the way you talk about them just hows me that they never really been your true friends. We have to be more careful about who we call a friend.
Trust is a gun, you have to be careful who you are handing it to. Some will protect your back, but most of them are gonna point the gun at you.
You are too direct with your "friends". You assume they are your friends but obviously if you have to pretend they are not. Mirrors my experience of fair weather friends. As soon as I was depressed they all disappeared or intentionally acted shitty so I'd dump them. So much for friends.
I’m amazed you kept trying that long. I would’ve assumed they were trying to send me some idiotic hints rather than just telling me what I did to upset them, and saved them the trouble by fucking off entirely.
That sounds so exhausting.
How do you have the energy to deal with that?
Misanthropy is my default state too!
I want to be friends with everyone in these comments.
Same. Maybe that’s the trick. We have to find each other. The rest are legit abusers and users
I'm too lazy to find your comment about people ganging up on you but a small group always does that to the most sensitive person and it sucks. I'm surprised you started thinking like this as a adult, I determined humanity was evil as a youngster.
Most people are not ok!
I've lived in the country and the city,my experiences are this.Country folk are usually generous,kind,courteous and friendly.City people are disrespectful,greedy,selfish,unfriendly and miserable.Escape the cities and get back to real civilized people,city people are FUCKED and will drag you down to their fuckedness if you let them!
Future computer gamer/avid book reader/music listener/art admirer/nature and science lover here. There, in that world of simulation, I can be anything and/or anybody at any place or timeframe. I can do a bunch of imaginative stuff from my own consciousness, further enhanced by reality escapes such as comic books, anime, videos, games, movies and TV shows, etc.... I have changed my own perceived skin color and texture, my sex and gender identities, spiritual affinities across the cosmos through multiple dimensions, constructed entire planetary systems or worlds of cultural being, complete with city landscapes, all psycadelically with my mind. Very few humans share this type of experience, as they are afraid of investigating that level of the mysterious unknown realm of collective unconscious being. There are three layers of misanthropy for me. The first layer is the one this very video illustrates quite clearly and describes that such complexity in possible interactions with others in order to achieve some shared social experience can often be better accomplished yourself without the headaches of constantly replanning everything. Doing it yourself means you can only be proud of or disappointed in yourself for what you are responsible for as an individual. You cannot diffuse those things towards other people if there are no other people but yourself present for the experience. There's zero negative judgment upon your personality/mannerisms/background/cultural differences, no critical evaluation of interests and hobbies, and certainly no stupid pathetic relationship ending arguments about politics, religion, or marital affairs of others to each other for example. The second layer has to do with those particularly toxic relationships that attempt to destroy your person, whether entirely or in part. Abusive parents and siblings from your own family or another, Fairweather friends who only care about what you are based upon the perceived status of the other of those around them, how much in money or resources you possess, structural position in life via a career or educational attainment or who you're sleeping with/married to as a spouse, who you know as a personal contact from another social group that yet another social group dislikes, etc... The third layer has to do with the world write large. Race, religion, social class, gender differences, nationality, sexuality, political party affiliation or economic affinities/repulsions, aspects of association when interacting with science and technology, the value systemic distinctions of variation within and between humans as a species impacting their overall societal trajectory as a set of civilizations. Most if not all aspects of this third layer are artificial cognitive constructions of evaluated values that although should not be imposed, often are imposed upon by others as behavioral influencers towards the population of individuals.
Listened to the end where I realized that there are others in this world even more out of step than myself. Chin up mate. Some people are so wrapped up in their own little bubble they forget that good manners are a sign of civilised behaviour. Or to put it another way some people are simply "unfeeling arseholes".
@@BasedVegeta We can also be depressed beyond the point of suicide, since childhood, and terrified to tell anyone. Which can result in psychopathy, sure, but I mostly just pity people. I want the eliete to die screaming, but the damage is probably irreversible. Hopelessness is unhealthy, but I can't feel much for humanity as a whole beyond rage and/or grief. I've been exhausted by you all since getting molested by a family friend and beaten as a child at school, while teachers ignored or downplayed it. Because they were black. "No child left behind" and all...
This soliloque was like a masterpiece concerto to my ears. Bravo! It had me going for awhile, as I ALSO detest gaming culture. I thought the video was in support of it at first. What a splendid underhanded stab into the back of shallow gaming culture. BRAVO! I know people like this and my impression is the same. 😄 I'm not sure how hold the author of this video is. I am 52 and any real passion that I ever had for video and arcade games was quite well extinguished by the early 90's. Since then as I have witnessed subsequent generations completely consumed by it well into adulthood, it's great to see people turning against it and actually taking the time to speak out like this.
Again, BRAVO!
I've stopped playing multiplayer games because i learned pretty quick that 49% are egocentric asshole, 49% are scammers, farmbots and cheaters, the remaining 2% are people actually playing a game for fun.
I know this isn't true but it feels true and i don't feel like wasting time to find someone worth having a good time with.
Co-op with friends is always alot of fun though.
A theory is that us misanthropist's are a slightly evolved version of humans
That is a horribly stupid and dangerous idea. You're also adding possesive apostrophes where there shouldn't be any, so I wouldn't take your word for being "evolved". That's absolutely moronic. A human is a human. Stop believing everything you read online. In fact, this narcissistic human line of thinking, that others are beneath you somehow, is a primary factor behind why many people are misanthropic. The damage that this tendency has caused in the past is the worst in human history.
@@c0nk2879👶
I think you are overreacting ...
why do you insist on communicating through email, what is the difference if it changed? why didn't you ask Mr.Red what is going on directly? why didn't you asked them about playing without you?
what they did is not acceptable, I see. But this is life, not a haven. people are complicated and that's why they don't pay so much attention to each other. people have their own lives and they are busy taking care of themselves and their family. they will not pay attention to your feeling even if you are their friend.
you didn't face them with facts and demanded answers to be all clear, you just felt like something ain't right then decided to hate everybody.
- understand this: you are not the center of the universe, you are just a side character of everyone's life, while you think you are the protagonist.
I know that may sound harsh but this is a fact you should have known in your early twenties.
Misanthropy is also becoming my default state as well. The older I get, the more I learn about society, and the more I learn human history my dislike and distrust for people gets stronger and stronger. However I do have 3 solid friendships (all men, never women). And I don’t plan on trading them for anything. I just hope my loyalty doesn’t fault me again.
You have to believe that humans are good or else all that hatred turns you into a horrible person
the most intellectual person I know I have just found I cannot personally disagree with your concepts
Well said. I run a craft group and the first session was ok and then the flakiness set in.
Yeah pretty much all human interaction seems so unnecessary to me and a waste of energy and time.
Poor Mr. Red. They really left him out in the cold.
Wow.. came on hating people And I'm just there at the 2:15 minute and second
And I'm happy with your piano music you've put in the video, and happy with your soothing voice and characters' story so far.. and the points are really good to make me understand .
Just thought to share these positive vibes at a time when I'm mostly irritated like hell because i hate people and wish I'd be dead.
Just learned the word misanthrope ( i hope it's right as i remember) from youtube now
Such an incredible video. Humans ain't shit. I wish I was born as an animal instead--a feral one not a domesticated one!
My guess they interpreted your comments as passive-aggresive. Also, expecting validation online is a lost cause.
expecting validation in general IS a LOST cause IMO....
You'd annoy me a little.
As much as I'd like to appreciate a photo of my friends holiday, I really don't. I feel like they are rubbing it in, gloating that they are having a good time while my life is shit. I feel like saying 'whoopy doo, good for you!!' would you rather your friend lie or be phoney with a compliment?
Unless the pictures are something historic and you would already know that I'm a fan of historic buildings (as a friend) then you are literally sending me something you know I'd appreciate.
Suppose it is considered making an effort to show interest but I don't send pictures to my friends so I don't see why they thought I'd like them to do it to me.
It just makes me think they're seeking attention. I take photos for myself because I like what I see and couldn't give a damn what others think, since they can't always see the world how I see it. (the contrast from a grey persprctive)
Also you come across as a bit elitist which I am a myself, so we'd clash often. Perhaps you're just more educated than me though since you seem to use words I've never used or noticed in any books I've read.
Unless that is all part of the roleplaying, then disregard the above.
I'm a misanthrope but need to challenge myself because everyone else can't be the problem, I've got problems clearly that I need to work on.
It is a two way street when it comes to friendships too.
These days I'm a hermit and not many people seem to understand what I'm saying or what points I'm trying to make. Usually when I'm playing devils advocate.
You got some things right, but I never ordinarily send any photos to anybody. I certainly don't plaster my life all over Facebook. Regarding the Mongolian trip, the only reason I sent anything was that one of my friends asked me before to send a pic. Perhaps I didn't mention that in the video?
@@DailyInsightAU fair enough on the social media thing.
I don't think you did mention that in the video (at least I don't remember), that changes my perspective of the photo thing a lot though.
I'm going to assume they told you to send a photo during small talk? If not then they didn't really put thought into the request, or didn't actually care.
chill out guys
I think if u want caring friends you need to make that caring relationship since the beggining
The last "friend" I had was in 1999, this @sshat decided it would be a good idea to just drop me. Besides bullying I also had to deal with racism plus the fact I couldn't stand up for myself because I was/am a skinny prick. And because of all this crap I got a bucketload of mental problems and disorders that make it I can't even work anymore (I have a college degree). Sure they tried to make me a cog in the wheel again: shrinks, psychologists, therapists, "nerve" doctors, lots of meds that turned me into a zombie for over a decade, but it was all in vain. Relationships, girlfriends, intimacy and that weird word "l**e" humans talk about: what the hell is all THAT?! I literally google these words regularly but keep forgetting their meaning. No, hate, disgust and repulsion towards the bipeds and society in general is where my game is. The only living entities I seem to care about are my dogs. They don't judge because of looks, career or bank account size. Ok I'm done.
Some may apply, maybe:
••Targeted Individual (Ti) ~ A person who becomes a target for various forms of harassment.
••Harassment ~ Any repeated or continuing uninvited contact that serves no useful purpose beyond creating alarm, annoyance, or emotional distress.
••Stalking ~ Criminal activity consisting of the repeated following and/or harassing of another person. It is a distinctive form of activity composed of a series of actions that taken individually are not illegal. But, when these actions are coupled with an intent to instill stress, fear, or injury then they may constitute a pattern of behavior that is absolutely criminal.
••Gangstalking ~ Stalking that is organized and carried out by two or more people. An extreme form of harassment, gangstalking consists of psychological torment which can negatively affect or even destroy every aspect of a targeted individual's life.
••Gaslighting ~ A form of deception where information is altered or selectively omitted to favor the manipulator, with the intent of making victims doubt their own memory, perception and sanity. Actions may range from denial that previous deception ever occurred, up to the staging of bizarre events by the abusers with the intention of disorienting the victims.
This psychology term is derived from Patrick Hamilton's 1938 play Gaslight, about a woman whose husband slowly manipulates her into believing that she is going insane.
••Micro expression ~ The sudden flash on a person's face that reveals their true emotion, instead of the one they're using to cover with.
••Vilifying the victim ~ A psychological tactic that puts a victim on the defensive while simultaneously masking the intent of the manipulator. When malicious actions are directed towards a targeted individual (Ti), the manipulator falsely accuses the victim as being the abuser in response when they stand up for or defend themselves.
••Reciprocal liking retraction ~ A psychological bullying tactic used to emotionally torment a targeted individual.
How this works is a person or group will initially act friendly towards a person, creating a bond. Then, when an undetermined amount of time has passed, the abusers will ignore, mock, and ridicule their target causing anything from annoyance or frustration to emotional trauma or suicide.
••Duping delight ~ The expression on a person's face showing the enjoyment felt from mocking or deceiving another person.
••Learned helplessness ~ A mental state of powerlessness that overwhelms a person who endures reoccurring stressful situations that are not responded to correctly, making you believe that you are unable to control or change things.
••Subjugation ~ Like oppression or conquest, it's where a person or group takes control over another by force, psychological pressure, or being able to violate their civil rights and freedoms without consequence.
••Confederates ~ Individuals who are directed to influence the behavior of peers through psychological pressure and/or constructed circumstances for a preconceived outcome.
••Pawn ~ Someone who is manipulated into furthering the purpose of another person, group, or agenda.
••Propaganda ~ Information, ideas, or rumors deliberately spread widely to help or harm a person, group, business, nation, etc.
••Manipulation ~ To secretly and cleverly controI the mindset of a person or group through some form of psychological influence.
••Suspension of disbelief ~ A willingness to suspend one's critical thought process. To sacrifice logic and go as far as portraying the opposition as ignorant or insane.
••Compliance ~ Cooperative obedience. Usually obtained through leverage or authority.
••Conformity ~ A type of social influence involving a change of belief or behavior in order to fit in with a group.
••Groupthink ~ When a group is more concerned with maintaining solidarity than they are with evaluating the negative aspects of a decision.
••In-group ~ A highly cohesive and relatively closed social group characterized by the preferential treatment reserved for its members and the strength of loyalty between them.
••Out-group ~ Persons excluded from the in-group.
••2 Timothy 3: 13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. (KJV)
*seducers ~ People who entice, deceive, or pressure others into accepting or even joining in with their immoral activity.
*wax worse ~ Become worse and more widespread over time.
*deceiving ~ Causing others to believe something that is not true.
*being deceived ~ Allowing yourself to accept lies and deception.
••Elephant in the room ~ An obvious concern that is either being ignored or going unaddressed. It is based on the idea that an elephant in a room would be impossible to overlook.
••Epiphany ~ An experience of sudden and striking realization.
••Skeptical ~ Not simple minded or easily convinced; having doubts or reservations.
••Cynical ~ Believing that people can be motivated by self interest. Distrustful of human sincerity or integrity.
••Sophisticated ~ Aware of and able to interpret complex issues.
••Discern ~ To recognize or understand through your senses, intellect, or intuition.
••Hebrews 5: 14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. (KJV)
Poor communication and assumptions, every human being suffers from it. Unfortunately it usually spirals.

Inside every cynic, lies a disappointed idealist
i cannot beleive i am meant to take this literally. u r a good talker and articulate urself really well. i enjoy ur videos and i really dont understand how u have such little subscribers. i wouldnt simply think u would do very well in any social circle i am sure of it. but it is a very sad time that we live in and on many occassions ive been told that i live in the wrong year/century lol... im only 34 and i dont use facebook i rarely check my emails and i much prefer to talk to people rather than sms or whatever. when someone writes lol or whatever i usually have to look up what it means and i like to help and talk to my neighbors but everyone is in their own world and so i repeat it is a sad day, that this great country is going down the track that it is, so i do understand but i wish u all the best and to everyone else. to cheer myself up i try to see that atleast we dont have planes flying over our houses dropping bombs and so i see that we r lucky in some ways i just wish that our jets stopped dropping those bombs on people that we do not know
Ordinarily, I do do well getting on with other people (in person, one-on-one). But when it comes to the group dynamic, I fail. People just seem to "gang up" on me in those situations -- or at least, that's how it feels. Throughout my life, I've only really had one true friend at a time, and I've mostly spent all my "friendship time" with that one person. I suppose, that's just my nature. But this in itself has brought about many issues. E.g. by spending all my time with one individual, another friend gets pissed off or jealous or whatever. I suppose I find it hard to "share" my friendship equally among people, and this in turn causes problems. Sometimes, I blame myself -- and to some extent, it is my fault -- but unfortunately, that's my nature, and I can't seem to change it.
By the way, I don''t like Facebook et al. either (as you've probably gathered from my other videos). I think it's much easier to have misunderstandings via email, text, etc. than it is in person. Back in the pre-Internet days, people HAD to talk to one another, and therefore, people practised interacting with one another much more often than they do now. Nowadays, people can sit behind a computer and just tap away. It's easy to call somebody a "f*$k face" or a "loser" because there are no ramifications. And eventually, these attitudes spill over into the real world where people start confusing their online presence with their real world personas, and just start generally treating everyone like sh*t.
The Internet brought a lot to the world, but at what cost? From my experiences, social media doesn't enhance people's lives, it ruins it.
The irony is, with all the these social media apps -- Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, blah, blah, blah -- people are lonelier than they have ever been.
Sorry, I'm ranting... I'll stop now ;)
Daily Rant Australia im with u in everything u say i also hate what its doing to society and people as individuals, i refuse to use twitter or facebook and actually youtube is the only social media i use and im starting to think its bad i also have email but only coz i had no option... in saying that, most people think im a freak for not having those platforms since its probably the norm now and the rest say im born in the wrong year or that i would be more suited to the 1800s. also its taken me this long to come back to youtube so that shows how much i use it most people use it multiple times a day, in saying that i have found myself good group of friends and even though they might use those platforms they understand that i dont and therefor to speak to me they cant use their phone unless its urgent and even then its only a phonecall or sms. that just means that they speak to me less often but i dont think they dissaprove or dislike. i value people more than i value the phone or computer and i think they like that. i think with friends u need mutual benefits and im not saying in the way most people might be saying that, im talking about providing others what they want or need emotionally, i think i provide comfort coz they have a down to earth honnest thinker that might provoke them in a good way with different ideas and i dont think they get that anywhere else. in turn they provide me with a friend so i dont get so lonely. in all honesty i think u just havent come accross the right people yet. also im only 34 and from sydney im not sure about u but its ok u need not say, but ur videos are inspirational to me as in we still have good and serious thinkers who can think outside of the box in this country, i admire that and i think anyone who doesnt see that is the one that is missing out. i really hope it doesnt upset u too much what i mean is its their loss not urs. also i think i read that all great thinkers struggled in social circles and who knows maybe u fall in that category. again goodluck and i wish u all the best
thats how i am too. i think this is because most people are horrible people. its rare to find a genuine good person. so when you are the genuine good person , its even more hard to find another like you because you are most likely the one that got away in everyones life that you stepped into . sad but sucks. sometimes i wish i could be a really shit person just to ensure having people and friends around because it almost seems like the people who care the least/arent good friends/ arent good people have friends and get along with others so easily. maybe to fix this issue we should be more fucked up. but then youll have to give people shit and take their shit as well. its like with people we cant fucking win . idk . @@DailyInsightAU
Narcissism rules
Kinda hard to say that it’s on them when they don’t wanna do something when you’re being overly passive-agressive over one trivial issue.
Inside every cynical person, there is a disappointed idealist.
What is the logical conclusion to misanthropy? Like if it was taken to the furthest extent how would it manifest itself?
The end of human civilisation?
I don't know why but just stating the colors reminded me of Reservoir Dogs so much.
Sorry, I can't take this seriously without Mr. Pink in the mix.
You expect too much of people, we're only monkeys my friend. I've had the same problem for most of my life to the point where I started to wonder if I was the unreasonable one for caring about courtesy, and the truth is, I was. People only care for themselves and usually only care about you as you relate to them. There's nothing really wrong with that and I've come to expect it. I accept that I live in a world of monkeys and I'm just a more particular monkeys than most others. I have no close friends and only one or two close family members and I like it that way. I've had good friends and I enjoy it while it lasts but it usually fades away, nothing is forever. I don't trust others as far as I can throw them until I've seen them when thier guard is down. The thing is nobody said people were supposed to be good to eachother, some of us just are and most of us aren't, that's the way it is.
We have laws to try to enforce goodness, e.g. don't steal, don't murder, don't cheat, but yes, generally speaking, people will often try to get away with as much as they can.
Thank you for sharing your story.
Thanks for listening
While we all may be misanthropists, we shouldn't just lie down and accept it as a fact. Deep down we are unhappy with ourselves, and subconsciously project that onto others
i think you can be happy with yourself and still be able to see the bad qualities in other people..
talk about yourself pls
AI is much better than humans. Does what it is supposed to do without all the unecessary irrational evil.

Amazing story mate. I'll agree with most points raised here.

You're right. I try not to. But sometimes when people get bitten by one too many dogs, they become scared of all dogs.
@@DailyInsightAU I completely understand , I myself recently discovered the term “ misanthropy “ and thought I was one until I realized that I have had bad experiences with my choices in friends & in the past girlfriends, this has lead me to believe that the vast majority of people are similar to the ones who hurt me in the past so I am naturally hesitant to trust letting others in my life. However, this is an unhealthy way to think. If you don’t invite new people into your life you will never see the diversity of the human spectrum. Those that hurt you are nothing more then an inconvenience in your life and a lesson to be learned from, deciding you hate the majority of humans as a whole will hurt you more then anyone. I’m just saying all this because I feel like I can relate to you but I also feel like the way your dealing with your feelings is unhealthy for yourself. That’s all. God bless & take care.
Wheres the rest of the story
Did you ever bother to ask any of them what's up? One on one. Politely. Face to face.
Exactly
I understand this
I always prefer to know whether or not people are going to show up for something. Sometimes relying on others makes life difficult. When I play mobile games that require more than one person and others don’t show up it can get to me. The game I’m referring to is Pokémon Go. Please do not make fun of me for liking this game. I also don’t fit in well with the rest of society and I finally found a group that is very accepting but having to rely on them to play the parts of the game that requires multiple people can be very difficult and having to deal with people who are around while I’m doing multi player and aren’t playing the game and start becoming very rude and nasty gets to me.
Did ever found out why they were acting this way ?
Naa, I haven't played with them since. I have seen a couple of them on a one-to-one basis, and they seem fairly friendly, but ultimately, I just don't know what happened apart from what I explained in the video.

This is your best vid ever. I say that I’d be your friend but then you might message me and that would be a lot of hard work 😜 (send me a message if you want anyway)
Thanks!
Listen to “deep fried friends” by MF DOOM
I felt the same way all my life. Friends are just there for convenience. And ever since my brothers and sister had children they became distant too. At the end of the day, no one really gives a shit about you. I am lucky to have a girlfriend now who really loves me. I know though that her love is conditional. She wants to have children. If I won't provide her with a family than her love will disappear. That's the reality. I think we need to understand that's all about change. At one moment in my life one person could be everything to me (an ex girlfriend), two months down the line I'm not gonna even say hello to that person if i accidentally encounter them. The only person who always cared for me my entire life, truly , is my mother. It's obvious why, because of biology. Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that at the end of the day, we are alone in this world. What unites people is not a personal bond, but a system. A tribe they belong to, a religion, a common belief like veganism, or a common fate. What matters in life is the story not the protagonists of the story or other participants. We look for love from other people but really we should look for love from the world, from it's stories, this is what binds people, the things that happen in this world, the events, the fights for a cause, the ideologies, art.
Instead of focusing on meeting people who care for us we should focus on finding the passions and places that truly make us happy and there the right people will be drawn to us (temporarily, and that's fine..).
I think you should start confronting people. Be open about your pain, be open about the things that bother you. Don't bottle it all up. Let the world know what you truly want. Learn how to ask for things instead of just waiting for them to happen. And then chances are they will happen.
Don't be to quick to think anyone loves you on this planet, EVER..people don't love anybody or anything, not even themselves..there is no love on this world NONE
Yes, I have had the same experience, and have little patience these days. Honestly, tit for tat is the best game in town. My contacts have collapsed by 90% as I now only give one chance, but I am definitely a lot happier for it. Do not waste your life on people who do not have good manners. And, I might add, I have no hesitation in writing off people who are pro-Putin, pro-Trump (or pro-Morrison, though thank God he's gone)..
So you were Mr. Black all along?
Sounds like Aspergers
Probably.
Mh, adults, hard stuff.. oh man.
Reservoir dogs 😂😂
Damn that was a long story
12 minutes is long?
But a damn good one.
This video should of been called "life...fair enough"
Just wait for wow classic mate. Fuck boardgames I'm over them, $15 per month is a cheaper option plus you can put more into ETFs
"Every *Fortnite.* "
Well I think misantrophy isn't really the right word for you. Misantrophists hate humankind and wishes to eliminate it entirely.
sometimes we cant say that shit or act on it but it pops into mind every now and then . lol theres levels to ts . and also you could just be adding to your own definition because on google it says dislike, not hate .
