Re: Misanthropy

[(Anonymous)]

Therapy therapy therapy therapy. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.

Being avoidant is really not helping, as you probably noticed, and it's pretty clear you have stuff you need to address that's warping your perceptions of yourself and of others. Your abusers taught you some fucked up lessons, that you internalised to survive, and now it's time to unlearn them because you're free.

So please get some help.

If you go to a doctor or therapist, it's their job to help you: that's what they get paid for. If they teach you Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, you basically go through it yourself with a little help (they explain the theory), so you don't actually have to trust them that much. And you can always look the stuff up online, to check what they said.

Please, get help.

I would like to commend you on maintaining decent behaviour despite what you assume you'd like to do: there are theories of ethics that say that is exactly how all 'good' people become 'good' people. Fake it till you make it. Wear the mask until it becomes your face :)

Not OP but Fake it till you make it. I really hate this.
I've been "faking it" for about half my life now (~15 years) and I am very, very tired of "faking it".

Social interaction is generally about faking it, to a greater or lesser extent. Everyone does it, and if you're an introvert it's tiring so you need time out to recooperate.

It doesn't matter if you hate it: it is better than the alternative. Just like if you are tired of earning a living, you can't really just decide to stop working. If you are tired of making sure you have food, you can't really just stop doing it.

Fake it till you make it is a key skill. You can throw in virtue ethics if you want, too, but even if you don't care about ethics and just want to survive, that's it.

Also, you should probably seek help if you don't think you can maintain it.
