I’m becoming a recluse. I just have little love for humanity left and have lost the will to tolerate people. I used to volunteer, interview people with extreme views so I could understand them, deliberately place myself in new social situations, etc. I’m not sure if I have become a pessimist or if my experiences have shown me humans are selfish, opinionated, presumptuous, and cruel creatures. It seems unnatural, to dislike my own kind. But I have tried to like people. I can’t. All I see is wasted potential.
