Wow! That would be hard to keep customers.

I think that's called Bipolar?

Sometimes I hate people/love people, depending on how I'm feeling. The underlying part is how critical we are of ourselves. Look at your own thought process. Are you equally hard on yourself? It's pretty natural. The best thing, is to just stay focused on how to be more compassionate toward yourself and understanding. When you get the judgment under control, it will reflect to the outer world and more compassion will flow towards other people. You'll be surprised at how that works.

when Im tired because of work overload /stress I start to dislike people..I see the imperfections of the human race..someone I work with same thing happens so we have a code..its so we dont end up in a big silly fight because we do.. never of us want to get to that point..I also know when Im doing this to take time out..I know someone who didnt and it went into withdrawal and depression set in with sucide thoughts...I also have a friend whose really good if I act odd due to say a medication they are good and check im ok...if it was Bipolar as lowtidebeach you would be on cycles of highs and lows..I dont have these ..its just knowing how to spot the signs and then see what you can change

Being a former teacher I have a great understanding of what happens when people are bullied it is a huge puncture wound in the soul that can fester,,,,,, I say enough soul wounds would cause this were your parents hypercritical were you bullied,, I ask this because,,,,, I hate friggin labels I had students who were antisocial I taught them to play the drums gave them all the postives I could,,, so to buffer what the outside was doing to those middle school boys I did want but one thing for them to be proud of themselves inside out,, and they went on but would come back and let me know how they were doing,, they had an identity and purpose,, a lot of what we throw labels on is unresolved wounds especially for males it happens really critical in middle school I could be way off ,,,,,,,, but what happened here ,, would you share some of your more humiliating or triggering events maybe in school,, just seems like you have some deep seated hurt there

i am antisocial as far as i can remember (very young), I never have been bullied at school, but I always had good relationship with friends; I never really had close friends...

but yes, hypercritical parents, which does not go along with HSP at all, and I understand @itsallgood :
maybe I am hard with myself (sometimes too much) and I expect from other people to be at least as hard...


The change of mood can be really weird, we are not bipolar even if I often think it is somehow close.

YES!! I sometimes, ( often) hate people!
Specially at the end of the day, when i am tired.

I work with the public. Some customers i love, and some just make me lose hope in humanity.

Customers i hate:
The woman who stands at the counter and makes me wait 10 minutes while she looks for a picture of what she wants on her phone. She usually has fake, long, thick, purple finger nails that make the whole process 10 times slower.

The customer having a senior moment. They start a sentence, then i have to wait 10 minutes while they scan their pea size brain to find the word they are looking for. I paste a smile on my face and go to a happy place in my mind while i wait.

The customer who tells me about all the stuff i dont carry, which they proudly buy at another store. Yes. Thank you. I still dont have it.

The customer who tells me his whole life story including all his disgusting diseases and ends up buying nothing!

The customer who complains about the strong smell in the store ( we sell teas, spices etc). Instead of leaving like a normal allergic person would do, they stay and complain for 15 minutes, waving their hand in front of their nose like idiots.

My tolerance towards annoying people usually runs out in the afternoon. Around 3:00.
Thank goodness for the good friendly customers! These make me like people again for the next day.

I hate people when I am in a bad mood. Not that I hate them, it's just that I don't want to deal with them. But then again, I hate EVERYTHING when I am in a bad mood. ( Except for my 2 dogs of course)!! Lol
