I find myself thinking of people as useless and tedious. What's wrong with me?

I can understand this feeling when people bully to much. Are the people around you understanding you well? Do you have people around you agree with and can do things you like with? Changing friends is a great idea to find useful people to do things with you really like. I did that some times. I think many people change their friends when they just do not fit anymore. So, we keep the feeling of good people. I like that feeling? And you? Do you know what you like to do? Is there a way to find those people that agree on that? So, you are not around those you feel useless about.

To assume there is something wrong with you would be to assume that what you're experiencing is unnatural, and I don't believe this is true at all. I think we all encounter individuals who may cause us to feel this way, and it can be especially challenging when you notice a trend. Personally, I try to maintain an objective point of view and remember that, just like me, each person is on their own journey. Developing compassion, for those whom we become frustrated by, can take time, commitment and patience. Most importantly, be kind to yourself - that's where it all starts!

Very often, the way we feel about others is a reflection of the way we feel about ourselves. Do you find that you think of yourself in similar terms, running an internal monologue that says you're useless and/or tedious? Or, as is also likely, you've internalized the voice of a parent or other primary caregiver, who repeatedly (whether intending to or not) made you feel that you had those undesirable attributes. One helpful practice, when we meet someone we find objectionable or somehow offputting, is to ask ourselves "Am I seeing a quality that I have (and dislike about myself) expressed in them? ". This helps to get beyond our projections and dig a little deeper into what riles us.

It sounds like you're under a lot of stress and frustration as you would like it to be. Therefore, this pent up feeling of being stuck becomes the lens through which you view the world, which makes it seem like people around are very annoying. I would need more information as to what has happened, but am inclined to think that you would have to give yourself a break. Learn to relax a little, engage in your favourite hobby and take a break from social interaction. After you feel like you're rested, it's time to get working again. :) Hope this answer is helpful.

How do we see other people is actually a reflection of our inner thoughts. Do you feel angry when you found yourself useless and tedious? These feelings are so painful to deal with so we tend to blame someone else in order to avoid self-blaming. Trying to recall if someone in your life has called you useless or tedious or you have witnessed someone in your family blaming each other, maybe your judgement comes from your parents/family's influence and you have experienced these comments growing up. They are not really your belief but come from the environment you grew up with.

This is a really good question! From my experience, i've found that sometimes that is because of the way you've grown up. If you see the people around you valuing productivity and efficiency, you're going to pick that up. You may also feel the need to be productive and efficient with your work out of what was expected of you in your environment. This may evolve into a source of pain or insecurity or even anger for you. You may start to push this insecurity onto others without realizing. However, what matters is that you've recognized this is a problem and have reflected on yourself

It happens, you're not the only one. Sometimes, people can be very protective of themselves and in turn, become very picky about who they want to spend time with. It might be the fact that people are not proving you wrong and are in fact, "useless and tedious." But, a very helpful habit to adopt is to try not to let that get in the way of making friendships and connections. You can spend more time by yourself as much as you want, but still we are humans and we are in need of human interaction. Even if some people are an exercise to spend time with, having a bit of change from your own company will be fun and a breath of air, not necessarily fresh air, but air in general. And you never know, you might find somebody whose company doesn't make you feel fully aware of it, that you would be completely at ease having them around.

A lot of people are useless and tedious. Nothing is wrong with you. You should worry if you find EVERYONE useless and tedious. Are you telling these people that they are useless and tedious? If so, that may mean that there is something wrong with you and that you're not adhering to societal norms. Maybe you should spend time with a variety of people to see if there are some who don't bother you as much? If it's still bothering you, write your feelings down in a journal so the thoughts are no longer swimming around in your head.

I too have felt this way about people. I have often felt bad about it or blamed myself for being rude and/or mean. I am a person of high intelligence, and I feel that that has something to do with it. I have always understood things at a deeper level than many of the people around me, and in doing so I often disregarded what others would say as wrong, I still do so! I do not think there is anything wrong with you, I believe that you just have a better understanding or perhaps a different mindset than those that surround you! I think that it all depends on the way you deal with these thoughts :)

It is nothing wrong whit you, The first thing you need to do—expand the capacity of your awareness—is not at all obvious how to achieve it. Most people simply interpret it as simply getting experience in the world, learn more things about the world. But I’m referring to something very different. Something internal. It’s about WHAT you are—consciousness itself. Getting experience, learning about yourself and the world are all outwardly directed attention activities. I’m saying you need to develop your awareness in an inward direction as well, experience directly what you are at your core—your source of creativity and intelligence, your innermost SELF, your pure consciousness.
