Anyone have any advice on just kind of hating people in general less? I look at people, I know they’re huge on religious doctrines and societal models I have no place in, and I just can’t see any good in them worth considering. I try to go outside and connect with people, but everyone looks like a 4channer, or someone two slights away from becoming a 4channer. I can’t restrain the fear or loathing. It’s like the past twenty years have reduced my very capacity for compassion and my capacity to respect anyone period to molten slag.

Heteronormative society and all who uphold it fucking blow, but I’m expected to keep it in my pants re: how and when I take it out on them.

    I just kinda let peoples bad vibes wash over me, but I can zone out while someone is screaming at me. Music helps build compassion I think. There’s a lot to learn and a lot of beauty in it and it makes community. I think food can be this way too. I think more people hate me than I hate them, but those are people I know know. I barely think about the people on the street or train or whatever.

    4chan people are pretty rare imo. Most boomers just post equally bad shit on facebook or reddit.

    Wasn’t there some study or something that said that anger is more similar to joy than sadness?
