The Older You Get, the More You Hate People (Here Is Why It Is OK)!

You know how you’re always talking about how you hate everyone? The thing is, the older you get, the more real this is.
“Hate” may be a strong word. However, in case you have realized that as you get older, you are less likely to please others or waste your time on hanging out with negative people and you cannot stand small talk, you aren’t alone. It is common for somebody to go from having ten “close” friends to only one or two within a short period of time, and there is probably a good reason for it.
Research has proven that people have fewer confidantes today than they did twenty-five years ago. Nearly fifty percent of people will confide in a close friend about a personal matter within a period of 6 months.

Here Is Why You Care Less for People As You Get Older

1. The older you get, the more often people have let you down

All those Disney songs about having friends who never disappoint you or bail on you clearly haven’t taken into account the majority of the human race. By the time that you’re 20, you’ve probably been dealt major blows by people you never thought would hurt you, and that makes you really jaded toward people.

2. A lot of the fun of being around people begins to disappear

Popularity stops being cool when you realize how much money it costs to be popular, and how much of a time-waster it is.

3. People ruin the coolest things

Ever notice how it only takes one stupid person’s actions to ruin a good thing? Ever notice how many good things get ruined this way? This is why we can’t have awesome things: stupid people!

4. Most people you meet are boring as hell

Their entire lives revolve around things that aren’t important. They don’t really make you think about anything in particular. They are boring, and there’s a certain point where boring becomes a reason not to talk to them. If I do hang out with people, I want them to have a real spark inside them, and that just doesn’t really happen too often.

5. Ninety-nine percent of people you meet are fake

I hate the fact that most people I’ve met can’t talk about how they really feel, what they’re really going through, or what they honestly think about you. At the end of the day, most people will sugarcoat things that shouldn’t be sugarcoated, and most people won’t tell you the full truth, even if it’s an absolute necessity.

6. Dealing with people’s drama is exhausting

I’d rather watch TV. The drama is more entertaining and it won’t negatively affect me.

7. Get-togethers become incredibly boring

Let’s face it: most people don’t want to go to those crappy dinner parties thrown by their bosses anyway.

8. As years pass, your tolerance for people judging you and telling you what to do shrinks to zero

People always love to get angry when you don’t live the way they want you to live. I’m too old to have people judge me, try to control me, or tell me how to live my life. Shouldn’t others be more worried about their lives instead?

9. The longer you’ve been alive, the worse people treat you in general

When you’re a kid, everyone coos at you and coddles you. When you’re a teenager, everyone hates you. When you’re an adult, everyone hates you and expects you to do stuff for them. I don’t recall signing up for this sh*t.

10. By the time you’re 30, you realize that your pets are more mature than the people you regularly talk to

That might be why I prefer to drink wine with my cats.

11. There’s a certain point where you can’t deal with people’s shallow behavior

If I was 300 pounds, I could guarantee that men wouldn’t want anything to do with me and that people in general would make mean comments about my weight. Knowing this made me really worn out when it came to talking to people. I don’t want to bother with people who would discard me based on how much I weigh, what I wear, or how I look.

12. People have really messed up expectations about how others should treat them, versus how they treat others

With most people, manners have gone the way of the dodo, but they have no problem expecting others to be nice to them. I’m so over it.

13. When push comes to shove, getting older also means that you realize that most people aren’t worth it

This makes the few people who are worth talking to all the more precious.
