I am NOT a People Person

As some may not know, I am Not a people person.   I am anti-social and proud of it. Although I do enjoy conversing with people of intellect, the problem is that I rarely encounter people I consider intelligent.   I've been called an elitist by some in my family; but I don't see having standards as being an elitist. The sad thing is I don't see myself as intelligent, only smarter than most the people I've met. In the end unlike many people I'd rather have a few friends of quality then having a large quantity of friends.   And that's another thing that annoys me about people, how easily they toss around the word friend now a days.  Just because someone is your co-worker and you get along with them, doesn't make them your friend.  It makes them a co-worker or peer or colleague.  All things which are not friends.  Now I'm not saying you can't have a friend that is also a co-worker; but just because you're a co-worker doesn't mean you're a friend.   I hate all my co-workers and bosses.   I feel at the mercy of people I'd not trust to pick my nose, to quote the Dick Solomon of Third Rock.

Another thing is you can only have one best friend,  best being that they are the top choice.  There can only be one by the definition of the word.   It annoys me how people toss those two words around too.

I just don't get people and don't think I'll ever understand, nor do I desire to understand.   I hate people, they are stupid and ignorant, in many cases by choice.   An individual that proves intelligent is no longer just under that category I call people.  They are an individual and a potential friend candidate to me.

I hate the two faced nature of our society.   Personally I don't care if customers have a nice day or not. I am completely indifferent but people feel the need to provide an over friendly atmosphere, especially in small towns.  The whole idea of the overly friendly store makes me sick.  You don't make friends at the grocery store.   And another thing is people always asking how you are when in truth they don't really give a fuck unless they're some kind of jack ass busy body.   If I let into a customer on how I'm really feeling I'd probably be fired.  Going off on them that my life sucks because I'm forced to work the lowest position in the store( because it feels like they don't want to move me anywhere after asking four times in the two years I've been there), watching other workers get promoted above me into higher positions, making barely above minimum wage, getting shitty hours, going on over 30 yrs old and working a job I could have landed without a diploma, because it's the only job in the town that hired me after 3 years of being out of work and looking, not having a car and having to walk 3 miles to work everyday and 3 miles back home where I live with myself, that I can barely make ends meet, living a lone without the support of anyone emotionally (not that I'd want a pity party, which is one of the other reason I don't lay into a customer) ,  that I have never been on a date in my entire life, and by this point you get the picture but I could go on but I'll close it here.

I'll type more when I have more on my mind.
