No, but I'm curious if you are able to see people as individuals and when you do, are you more specific in your like or dislike? To me, for instance, just because someone is Muslim doesn't mean they're either okay or not okay. But I have a problem with Muslim extremism when it encourages violence, and with some traditional Muslim values that keep women oppressed. I know people who translate their own issues with some aspects of Islam into a general hatred of Islam, and I don't understand it. It seems to me they don't differentiate between individuals within a group, or between people and their behaviors. So is this a problem of generalization versus specificity, do you think?
I don't like crowds though!

If you'll permit me the license of someone who was raised quite bookish, perhaps we should open a thesaurus.
I feel a lot of the same things you feel, but i ascribe it to my social anxiety.
On a bad day, I detest the random humans around me. I have a visceral, emotional response that i do not want to be near them, and my mind makes up reasons why. That's how i see it, anyway.
I am capable of recognizing this reaction as being irrational. In some sense, this allows me to disown the intrinsic nature of it. Not that i do not own responsibility for it - i merely recognize that it does not follow logic, and that i have no rational basis for it. I do not even know these people, and that is precisely why my autonomic nervous system tells me to flee from them - but because it is autonomic, it is incapable of directly referencing memory.
I can tell you that with years of patience, persistence, and SSRIs, it is getting easier to deal with. But i am secretly jealous of my sister who was all the way out to having psychotic features (she's much better now) but gets to control her anxiety with benzos. |

No I don't hate people. If I did then having social difficulties wouldn't be as upsetting as it is. Obviously I want them to accept me, and if they did I'm sure I would really like them.
Most of the time I choose to be alone, not because I hate people but because I need a break from stimulation. I get angry with the world when things don't go my way, but that's only because of my intense desire to "fit in". I also know I don't hate people because when I watch TV shows I have a lot of empathy for the characters. |

99.9 percent of what annoys me is what some other people do to my detriment.

| No. Actually, I consider my anger issues and my propensity for holding long, tiresome grudges to be a failing in my character and one that I ought to do my best to mend. I don't hate people. I just have a constant desire to strangle them all, and I am trying to do something about that fact. I actually love people, generally. |
