You're Not Salinger, Get Over It.

Tonight i've finally realised why i've been feeling confused and anxious towards people for the past two months. In america i met few and far people i actually wanted to talk to. I think i've figured it out...

"While misanthropes express a general dislike for humanity on the whole, they typically have normal relationships with individual members of society. Misanthropy may be motivated by feelings of isolation or social alienation, or simply contempt for the perceived prevailing characteristics of humanity...Misanthropes can hold normal and intimate relationships with people, but they will often be very few and far between. They will typically be very selective with whom they choose to associate"

Now i know why i liked Catcher in the Rye so much. Cheers JD Salinger, you've made me feel like it's alright to be a misanthropist.
