the big book of frens

Just about anything by CS Lewis. Abolition of man is a good one

>>16915829
How to Win Friends and Influence People. I haven't read it but sociopaths always scream at me to read it whenever I am grumpy so it must have your shitty worldview.

>>16915897
I will never read that book because friends are not something to be won, and influencing people is not something I feel I need to do.

also known as my diary

its a feeling anon. if you like people its fine. i like people. but if someone doesnt like people why shove it down their throats?

Ethica by Spinoza (pbuh)

Bibble

>>16915897
Sociopaths don't hate people, they only love themselves. Misanthropes probably hate themselves just as much as they hate everyone else.

The possibility I assumed first was that OP likely is tired of his own isolating and depressing ways, and wants to learn what the collective knowledge of humanity has to teach him against it

>>16915829
misanthropy - useless
anthropy - MALIGNANTLY USELESS

>>16915829
The Misanthrope - Moliere
A Man Asleep - Perec (not really about misanthropy but a useful read for a misanthrope nonetheless)
A Rebours - Huysmans

>>16915829
misanthropy is a valid outlook and helps you to avoid problems because humans are absolute trash who will exploit you if you allow them to do so by being naive

I also have zero interest in other people and despise every single soul that I have to talk to at work daily, be it coworkers or customers.
I don't say "good morning", I don't say "have a good day". I just ask people what the fuck they want and be done with it.
All useful knowledge that could be given to man has already been written in a book I can order and have at my doorstep in 5 days max.
What do I have to gain by a bunch of retards who created a failed Balkan country and live like a bunch of cattle?

Look how misanthropic and miserable this dood sounds

ive been in that situation and can say that its the situation. not people as a whole or not even those people. everything is good in moderation. everything has a different boiling point of awfulness. you might have even liked those people if you werent in that situation with them.

they might all be awful but its at least theres a slightly different awful with everyone. the nuances and slight differences are what make me like people. but i was in places where i hated everyone there and it made me hate everyone as a whole so i understand.

read fiction that you like. art might be the only valuable thing weve done

>I don't say "good morning", I don't say "have a good day". I just ask people what the fuck they want and be done with it.
You'll get shit for being rude sooner or later. It's better to act formal and polite while keeping people distant. They are not worth being sincere with.

>I don't say "good morning"
Every time people say this to me I ask them: "What do you mean? Do you wish me a good morning, or mean that it is a good morning whether I want it or not; or that you feel good this morning; or that it is a morning to be good on?"
