I'm disgusted with people and how they treat eachother socially to the point were I think its bother and waste of energy to try and relate or coexist with them. Do you think thats wrong? Better yet is this way of thinking leading me down a bad path?

No it's not wrong, you probably are just an individualist who needs to live out in the country to be happy. Interacting with people rarely makes them easier to handle.

I am disgusted with how people treat each other socially to the point where it HAS affected how I think and relate. I try to fight it and am successful to a degree but my bitterness and cynicism is readily apparent. In me it has cast a negative slant over, basically, the human species and I can tell you that it was much nicer before I became embittered and cynical. As I said, however, I try constantly to fight this in myself. I seek out the good in humankind and remind myself constantly that it exists. When I see good, which is often, I use it to prove to myself that there is reason to keep fighting against the bitterness and cynicism. I would recommend against allowing yourself to fall to bitterness and cynicism because it is not a good place to be. Fight it and do not stop fighting it.

no how do you think I feel I can't even say why I feel like dieing without being thrown in a nut bin and being poisoned with drugs.

if you are disgusted with people you do not understand human nature or accept the limits of being human...your expectations are not reasonable. of course you would be unhappy if your expectations are unreasonable. this is a classic example of thought distortions. read and work through the book by Dr. Burns, "The New Mood Therapy"...change the way you think and you can change your life. do i think it's wrong...not so much wrong as dysfunctional. is this way of thinking leading you down the wrong path? well, is this where you want to be? if yes, then this way of thinking is working for you. if no, then this way of thinking is not working for you.

Leading you down the wrong path? Yes, unless you go off the grid completely and move out into the wilderness to live on you own it is leading you down the wrong path. If you do try this one day you will wake up and find out that other people have formed an opinion about you with out your input. You were not given a chance to refute falsehoods because you had no friends to stand up for you or clue you in. So, sadly,it is all or nothing. Grumpy Adams or Grizzly Adams. I am not saying you are grumpy, that just fit so well.

It's not wrong, but it certainly doesn't help in social situations.

It becomes very difficult becuase any person feeling the way you do tend to isolate themselves and become less tolerable to others. I know this by experience and its a very lonely road to travel. FEAR is the main player in this sad game.
