Isolation is a troublesome issue that a lot of people deal with. It usually begins with when we begin to find character defects with others that make it easier to justify being alone and casting them out of our life. Remember, nobody is perfect. I keep in mind that a person is going to have about 20% of their character that I don't like and if they do something in that 20% category that "rubs me the wrong way" I turn it around and look at their good qualities. If I push everyone out of my life and focus on that 20% I will ultimately be alone. We need the balance.

There are many circumstances that I find other individuals to be "tedious and useless." For example, 1. When other individuals are incapable of fulfilling my wants or needs, 2. When I spend too much time socializing, so I begin to feel exhausted, or 3. When I see people on social media complaining or being hypocrites and contradicting. Therefore, when I begin to feel like this, I have now realized to take a step back and take a break. I feel like it's normal for people to feel like in certain circumstances that others can be "tedious and useless." It just really depends on the circumstances or if you're feeling other feelings. However, a lot of the times people are upset and annoyed from something, so ultimately, something is causing you to feel that way. You have to reflect on yourself and figure out what it could be. It's different for everyone.

Nothing is wrong with you. :) Those are automatic thoughts that we all experience. People are all different. Maybe they are useless to you. But there are people who may be depending on them. Everyone has got their own issues. It is possible that this person may be experiencing something internally and they are not showing it. Self-talk is a good way of reasoning with your thoughts. Sometimes, ask yourself if there is evidence for what you are thinking. It can also be true. It is possible that this has become your habit. And it has been passed on to you by your parents or where you grew up. It is good to be self-aware. But you don't need to beat yourself up.

It’s nothing wrong with you. There are times in our life where we don’t feel as friendly. Those are the times where we can self reflect and determine the areas in our life we wish to improve. There may be some underlying issues that have to be addressed that may have been hidden. Self reflection is a way to monitor our thoughts and feelings in hope to be in tune with our nature and ultimately determine what our happiness looks like. We may not know what the entire picture looks like but we can start with some elements in the scene.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with you! It's normal to feel this kind of way, and it depends from person to person how they feel about different things. You might have a deeper reason for these thoughts tho? Maybe you have been out for some sort of trauma, and therefor you feel this way? I'm no one to solve your problem, or give you "the perfect answer", but I do know from personal experience that feeling that way have something to do with my personal trauma, in the past. However, what you feel is not wrong, you have every right to feel like you do.

Receiving negative emotions sometimes is perfectly normal for everyone. Sometimes people disappoint others, which can lead to thinking of the general public as useless and/or tedious. Getting these feelings doesn't necessarily mean that you as a person are defected. Every person has a right to an opinion, and seeing as it's an opinion, it cannot be wrong nor right. I, myself, sometimes experience these feelings. They aren't always easy to deal with because you feel "weird", "stupid" or even "wrong". Just remember, negative emotions don't have to be in balance with positive ones. Just HAVING positive thoughts is a great start - negative emotions should never feel overpowering.

Honestly, it is just human nature because I feel the same way. Every day I feel like I'm discovering another dark secret about humanity itself. There nothing wrong with thinking that way because I believe it true. There are many people like that, that don't need to be in our lives. But remember 2 things. Firstly just like how people have shortcomings, they will have their strengths. Sometimes it's just hard to find them. Secondly, as long as there is one person that you can trust and live for, those other useless people don't matter. Just trust those few people that you can and live for yourself.

I think you're just tired of your surroundings. There's nothing wrong with you. I have often found myself feeling like that too. In order to overcome that I take a break from it. Go out for a trip with some friends or family or out on your own. A change in the atmosphere is refreshing. Cut down all the connections temporarily. Focus on the areas that you think needs to be worked on. Allocate time for the activities that you like to do, for example, paint, read a book, watch an all-time favorite movie or tv show. You could also try meditating that can help you a lot too.

Well, the truth is, people are tedious. It takes a lot of work to live socially. There's a lot you have to think about. And every person has their own lives with their own struggles. That's a lot to remember and a lot to have to service. A lot of work goes into maintaining friendships or even just getting through a single conversation. As for the 'useless' tag, I cannot agree with that label. However, that doesn't mean that the problem is with you. Maybe you have been putting too much effort into unrewarding relationships. People can be kind and selfless and far from useless, but you have to find those people, the ones who are willing to put in the work to make a relationship happen. I would encourage you to continue working hard on your relationships, but I would also encourage you to look for the ways in which others are doing the same. Find people who are willing to help you back.

why do you think that others are useless and tedious, what makes you think that there is something wrong with you. Lets concentrate on how we can place these words in the right perspective eg changing them from negative to positive. Can you think of any words that sound more positive than negative. Tell me have you ever heard anyone say anything bad to you, if so how did you feel. The people who you think are tedious and useless, are they close relations or just people in general. Describe what actions they are doing or what they are saying to make you feel this way. Has anyone made you feel like this in your past
