I do like nice or interesting people and have been many times amazed by what some people are capable of.
Although, would it be wrong of me to assume that the average citizen is a dullard with not much in the way of hobbies or intellectual thought?

i gotta read 10 books to find a 1 really good one. i think its true with people. for every one amazing person you gotta deal with 30 jckasses. i think its worth it.

It's actually weird how even if you try to not be a judgmental person you constantly make snap judgments about others the second you see them. I'm sure it's unavoidable.

I can not stand myself, how could I even begin to like others?

Real misanthropes are not found in solitude, but in the world; since it is experience of life, and not philosophy, which produces real hatred of mankind.

I've found that if you focus on the actions of 'people' too intently, you'll inevitably hate all those concerned.
Best turn a blind eye.

A friend of mine always had a theory.
He thought the amount of consideration any individual had was a finite amount. Now depending on how many people you may see in a day depends on how this finite amount of consideration is devided. The more people the less consideration per person.
He by this theory always prefered smaller towns and thought they were far more friendly. Simple and perhaps quite truthful theory.

I like to ignore the ones craving the most attention, and leave all others alone.
I'm indifferent to most people and I just want to be left alone, I think it's important to acknowledge the fact that EVERYONE makes a snap judgment on whether or not they like the people they see in their day to day lives.
So what do you base your opinion on? Clothes? Fitness? Wealth? What's better or worse? WHY WHY WHY?

Speaking of artificial judgements and divisions. The samurai book 'Hagakure' has a quote that struck me on the first line when I read it.
"Feeling deeply the difference between oneself and others, bearing ill will and falling out with people — these things come from a heart that lacks compassion. If one wraps up everything with a heart of compassion, there will be no coming into conflict with people."
