I Hate People (my rant)

[AlyaMF]

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.

I absolutely hate when random people try to start conversations with me. Elevator rides are super awkward lol. I'm an introvert but I still interact with my colleagues pretty well.

I'm the same way except I don't "hate" it but it does make me uncomfortable.

My husband (and his father) . . .opposite. Everywhere they go, they met someone and talk and enjoy it.

At church, my husband goes early to talk with people and stays after to talk to people. He loves it. And lots of people just like him.

Just not my cup of tea.

Alya:

As a RN, we take an oath before we graduate school and it reads:

"I solemnly pledge myself before God and in the presence of this assembly to pass my life in purity and to practise my profession faithfully.

I will abstain from whatever is deleterious and mischievous, and will not take or knowingly administer any harmful drug.

I will do all in my power to maintain and elevate the standard of my profession and will hold in confidence all personal matters committed to my keeping and all family affairs coming to my knowledge in the practice of my calling.

With loyalty will I aid the physician in his work, and as a missioner of health, I will dedicate myself to devoted service for human welfare."

If you can't agree with what's written above, please don't waste ur money on a degree U won't succeed in.

If you choose to continue, is it ur heart or ur pocketbook wanting to be a nurse?

If it's ur heart, then maybe something like forensic nursing, or research would be a good fit.

Good luck

We did say that oath because it's ridiculously outdated.

OP, I've never been the most social, and I've never liked being around a ton of people. I have two friends and I don't want any more. I also hate it when people look at me. Hate. It. I'm married, but I spend way more time by myself than most married people do, and thankfully my husband lets me do my thing. I choose to work holidays so I can avoid being around my whole family. When people found out I was going to nursing school, they were shocked...and very confused.

But, for some reason, I love being a nurse.

I'm sorry, but I haven't read the comments. I hope you seek help for whatever it is you are going through. Talking to a professional vs. strangers on the internet might be of benefit to you.

I don't necessarily hate people, but I dislike large swaths of them. I hide it really well. I'm not antisocial, I get along well with people. I even make small talk in elevators. I just don't really like spending large amounts of time with most people unless they're really interesting.

Sick people are different. I don't mind patients, even when I'm dodging chairs being thrown at me. There's something about them being ill that triggers something in me that makes me tolerant of their annoying habits. Or, more tolerant. I'm not a saint.

I think "hate" is an awfully strong term. I dislike certain social situations, but "hate" nothing or no one. And you can be a great nurse without the Florence Nightingale Pledge.

Yeahhhhhh I agree. I kinda got sucked into that one and was all "yeah! That's right! Florence Nightingale!". But then I was put back in my place and realized how wrong I was.

I feel the same way though. I don't "hate" anything or anyone...but there are things, people, and situations I strongly dislike. I feel hate is a very very strong word.

I have previously been unaware of this feeling by people toward the pledge. I accept not all people believe in God, but just leave out the word God and say

"I solemnly pledge myself before (examples) "the sun god, the moon, my partner etc" and in the presence of this assembly to pass my life in purity and to practise my profession faithfully."

I break it down as meaning I will perform my job to the best of my ability, and care about my patients.

Yes I may be a southern girl, I'm not exposed to other beliefs much, nor cultures.

You basically have to do and say what you think is right, for you. My example is just that the nurses pledge represents a mindset that is the most beneficial to our culturally diverse ill patients.

I went to Bon secours college of Nursing and work in one of their hospitals now it is catholic based; we never said that pledge at our graduation. I have seen that pledge but none of the nursing schools in this area say it. I think they are beginning to phase it out.

I haven't read through all the replies so if this was already mentioned, I apologize. Have you thought about getting a job as a CNA? I am asking b/c doing so might give you a good trial run before you commit to being a nurse. I transferred into a nursing program my junior year and the summer before I started the program I worked as a CNA. I wanted to make sure I could handle the "people part" of being a nurse before I started classes in nursing that would be nontransferable.

Wondering if Medical Examiner would be more fun. It sure looks that way on Rizzoli and Isles or Castle!

Angie Harmon is one of my favorites; I loved her on Law and Order. And don't get me started on Castle...I watch the reruns over and over.

I have nothing against newborns, babies, or children. So I may just try to get myself into that specialty.And isn't the families being there hard to deal with?

Whaaat? You just said that you hate kids..

[BuckyBadgerRN, ASN, RN]

To some perhaps, yup!!

Your words about "Bible thumping" nurses is just as offensive as the "offensive" post you are ranting about.

[Horseshoe, BSN, RN]

I want to get what you're saying, but it is never and will never be appropriate to tell someone to never have kids over a difference in personality. Some of the other stuff was nasty, too, but that's the one thing I actually remember. That is, honestly, what I would call a "hateful" thing to say.

I didn't say she shouldn't have kids because of a personality difference! I said it because she said she doesn't like children, only babies! I would never have addressed the issue if she didn't bring up the fact. I have siblings who don't like kids either, and therefore they haven't had any. It's not an insult of any kind to note that people who don't like kids shouldn't have them. Nor is it hateful. My sibs are perfectly good people, but since they don't like children, it's good that they recognized it before they had any! Now if out of the blue I said "You sound like a horrible person, please don't reproduce," that would be a different story.
