Do you ever experience misanthropic moods? How familiar are you with this phenomenon in general?

If we define a misanthrope as "a person who, due to circumstances, does not trust and despises humankind," then there are practically none. However, there may be a very strong antipathy towards certain individuals.

Misanthrope = a person who hates humanity. Yes, sometimes it happens when you see evil, cruel, and greedy people. P.S. It's surprising that Exz created this topic, and not me. :D

Well, lately I've been experiencing these moods more and more often. It's enough to just walk through a crowded place. Of course, I don't hate the people close to me. But when I see a crowd... I don't know why, but I get furious, and I have strong urges to hit someone when they accidentally bump into me. Luckily, I have enough brains and self-preservation instinct not to do it.

It happens.

He who has lived and thought cannot
In his soul fail to despise mankind;
He who has felt is troubled by
The ghost of days that are no more:
For him, there are no more enchantments,
No more the serpent of remembrance,
No more does repentance gnaw at him.
(c) A. Pushkin

Of course! A crowd is a cruel, greedy, and stupid beast. So, the emergence of such urges is quite natural.

Of course, it happens! WHEN YOU'RE EXHAUSTED AND SOMEONE ASKS YOU SOMETHING, YOU'RE READY TO TEAR THAT PERSON TO SHREDS!

And now, 10 years later, do you ever feel that way?
