I Hate People (my rant)

The Sum Up:

Why I hate people in general (reasons why):

*When they stare at me for over 3 seconds for no apparent reason! Especially, when I'm trying to eat a subway sandwich or something and they just feel the need to watch me eat. Or when I'm trying to fix my hair in a portable mirror and they just feel the need to glance at me more then twice. Once should be enough because it's rude!

*When they walk so slowww in front of me to the point where I just want to push them. Because I am a very impatient person to the point where the littlest things tick me off if it's not fast enough.

*I hate when people tries to start a conversation with me! So I just smile and nod my head and hope that they get the jist that I don't want to talk. And it's not even people in general, it's actually because I'm a bad conversationalist!

Why I dislike kids:

* I don't necessarily hate them but I do force myself to be nice as possible to them. However, I really don't like interacting with children unless it's to hold a baby.

*I don't want kids until my late 30s. Go figure. And I especially don't want to get married because every relationship I get into it only lasts for about 3 months because I love being a loner. If I'm going to work seeing people then I would like to come home and see no people.

But I love animals (I have 4 dogs)! However, I just don't see myself working with animals in the future because I would love to keep my hands in tact.

And no guys I am not trolling. This is really an everything for me and it's the reasons why it is so hard for me to commit to nursing. And I actually have an appointment set up with a therapist July 18 before I go off to nursing school and it's to find out why I really act this way.

So I just wanted to make this thread because after scrolling Allnurses for the last two days I find that threads like these are not common but their are people out there who is just like me and wants to go into nursing. I want to be a nurse because I find that I really like helping people and kids at their weakest points but other than that I hate people.

    Uhm....someone else help me find my words. I seemed to have lost them when my mouth fell open.

    Yeah, I know. But I just wanted to put it out there because I know many professions that's involves interacting with people on daily basis just wouldn't admit to something like this. My family knows how I am, but in general I keep it to myself.

    I have words. They just can't be used here.

    You do realize that in nursing, you have to not only interact with patients, but you have to interact with families, coworkers, physicians... It's a job where you are constantly talking to people.

    That's what I feared. I feel this is why I felt to have lost my words. I didn't lose them...I just couldn't say them.

    Exactly why I'm going to see a pyschiatrist to help me change my ways... I actually prefer the unconscious patients and night shift so I see no families.

    So I take it you're not a people person.

    Someone is trolling us. Maybe it's a slow night over at "Student Doctor."

    You will still see families. They don't just disappear during the night. Some units have visiting hours and dont allow visitors to stay at night. But if the patient is critical enough and on their way out, the rules are usually bent for them and the families are allowed to stay. And some family members stay the night with their loved ones if they are allowed.

    I am a loner, but I don't hate people or kids (have 4...go figure).

    I have noticed how increasingly rude, self-centered, demanding, vindictive, and thoughtless people seem to be becoming, however. And that makes me very sad.

    Lol, believe what you want, but at least I know the truth. I see no specific reason to lie when I can be anonymous and just vent. And yes I would like to see as little as possible of family members that I can because I wouldn't know how to speak to them. And I see nothing wrong with that.

    I think you can get by in nursing without being a people person.

    Now there is a difference between just being socially inept (like me) and downright hating people. I can't see ever being happy as a nurse when you hate people.

    I probably have one of the most solitary jobs in nursing (PDN nights...love it!), and I still have to interact with the family and the home office on a regular basis.
