Originally posted by knowhope I was wondering if PKC is a person who just plainly hates people and don't mind them or that he would go far enough to have a guilty pleasure of enjoying peoples miseries. So PKC, how far is it? What's the level of hatred.

well, obviously i don't literally hate every person on the planet. that would be silly, given i have met only a small fraction of them. what i do mean however is that i dislike most people i do happen to meet, for one reason or another. i am very intolerant.

as far as other people's miseries go, i do take great pleasure in them, but only in a dark comedy kind of way. i don't like, say, seeing pictures of starving kids in africa or countries leveled by wars etc, but i will almost definitely make a (very funny) joke at their expense. in a perverse kind of way i find such comments are actually quite empathetic, because at the heart of the humour is the understanding that such situations are truly terrible. i make such jokes about close friends' horrible situations too, and claim the same degree of empathy. im clever like that

Everyone has instincts that they develop over time about how to read a person's intentions and whilst that should be trusted/acknowledged, I think that sometimes the energy that we put into something is what we are going to get out of it. If we think that everyone is a dodgy mofo trying to fuck us over well that's what we will see in others as we are searching for that you know?

Since travelling, I have to say that my opinion of people has changed so much AFTER my perspective changed. I thought the same thing - that everyone was out to rob me and I had to watch my shit all the time etc. But if you are just open to people and the possibilities of life then you will find people are so beautiful. I have hitchhiked and couchsurfed over Europe and 98% of people have been just amazingly helpful, friendly and really restored my faith in humankind.

Trust your instincts but also change your perspective to look for the beautiful in the world - I think that everything is about your perspective and energy you put out from yourself...

like most NYers, I'm usually shocked or completely put off by strangers; especially if they're too friendly, generous, or kind.

I remember meeting some German tourists who chatted with me, and even corrected some of my homework after seeing me studying on the train. Before leaving, they offered me their address, so I could visit. My reaction made it clear that I thought they were crazy for wanting to exchange such personal info with a complete stranger, despite our positive encounter, so we ended up just exchanging emails instead

The woman in the OP had it coming, just based on the law of averages.

And sometimes people who are full of fluffy rainbow optimism (like the girl in the story I linked) still get fucked over.

The world is indifferent like that.

*nods* I agree - at some point in our lives we are all going to be fucked over whether we are super open to others or super closed - it is inevitable. So might as well be open however not naive so you can be open to all of the good stuff too that you will miss out on if you are so closed?
