How to stop disliking people in general?

This may sound absurd (and in some way it is), but I had a little time for some self reflection today, and I realized that I tend to cultivate an aura of negativity around myself, and that I just dislike people in general.



I don't -want- to hate people, but it just happens. I always think everyone is out to get me (even an instructor of mine pointed this out to me), and I become increasingly defensive as a result, so maybe people just sense this about me. But I spend more time in negative relationships with people than positive ones, and I want to change this.



It's not something I can talk about with people I know in real life, because they would think it's just plain idiotic and tell me it's just my attitude and to %26quot;turn it around.%26quot;



Easier said than done, sadly. I've tried. I've read multiple articles about changing your attitude, but I still dislike people as much as ever, and my friendships often disintegrate into an acrimonious fight at the end. I've had some bad friends whom I discovered weren't my friends at all, granted, but I'm really starting to think that it's just something about me that's the problem, or that I'm at least PART of the problem, and that if I exuded a more positive attitude, that other people would react more positively towards me.



Question is, how do I do that without letting people walk all over me? All of the truly %26quot;nice%26quot; people I know seemed to get pushed around, and maybe that just lowers my opinion of humanity in general.



One article I read said to write a list of all of the good things about people that you can think of, but that didn't help me too much.



Anyway, if you're actually still with me, any suggestions?How to stop disliking people in general?-By realizing that They are JUST as Human as You are, %26amp; that You have JUST as much right to your Opinions as They Do ! So Try to treat them as you would Your SELF, and otherwise- try to Avoid Them as Much as you Can... You'll be a LOT Happier- that Way !!! :)

Theres one thing that we can't change about this world. And that is that it is full of crappy people. Sad fact, sorry to say.



Don't let people take advantage of you - and DON'T WORRY about what other people think of you. You know. You understand, they're all filthy animals. That's just a fact. Can't change that. And you don't have to put on an act to please them. You're a good person, and you're strong. Don't change that. Be you. Leave the rest to their own misery.

ok I see what you mean. I'm kind of like that too. I'm nice and friendly but I sure as hell will not be pushed around. Just keep it cool. If your attitude is as bad as you make it seem, it shouldn't be that hard to establish yourself as a nice person who doesn't get walked on.



And don't think the world's out to get you, that's how you end up going emo... You're thinking too bad about yourself.



I would write a bit more, but damn...I need to go to bed, gotta be going to school in 3 hours lol



Hope I helped
Yeah, I understand your stituation...

You just need a better outlook on the things you see. Just because one person said that about you, you shouldn't let it keep you down... You can change your attitude and lower your guard a bit. No one should be out to get you. It's all in a %26quot;state of mind%26quot; if ya ask me... Hope this helps.
You have been listening to a lot of people that want you to change your attitude. I think this is a mistake. I think you have to know yourself, and choose people that will appreciate who and what you really are. There are people out there that are good at manipulating you, and making you feel like you should change to suit their needs. You will never find yourself by listening to people like that. Ask yourself this: If you had infinite power to get everything you want, what would you do? Meditate on this question for a few days. You may be shocked and even frightened if you dig deep into this question. But realize that your feelings are not abnormal, no matter what anyone says. Don't let people judge you. Only you can judge you.
