*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.

No, she actually said she "dislikes" kids and doesn't like interacting with them. But yes, puzzling why she'd say she might want to work with them. And if she doesn't like people, working with stressed out adults (parents of those sick children) would be the last thing she would enjoy imo.
I never wanted kids, and I'm not one of those women who gets all gooey over babies. Babies...meh.
But I enjoyed being a pedi nurse. In fact, I was pretty good at it; certified and all that jazz. Not liking kids is probably why I was a better peds* nurse than others; I wasn't thinking to myself, "That could be my kid" when a child came in with a serious illness or injury. I didn't take those kids' problems home with me.
You don't have to like kids to be good at taking care of them.
ETA-* that was supposed to be "peds" nurse, not "pets" nurse.

So, this is a thing I'll tell you about probably ten times if you talk to me much, but:
1. Allie Brosh moved to Oregon several years ago
2. Allie Brosh published a book
3. Allie Brosh did a book signing at the most incredible book store on the west coast, here in Portland
4. I was at that book signing
5. Allie Brosh drew a picture of Allie Brosh playing with Simple Dog in my book
6. I basically just gushed all over her and told her how much I loved her posts about depression
7. Gah, I hate odd numbers
8. She was really nice and really, really funny in person
"Hyperbole and a Half." That book makes me laugh, cry, and say, "I know exactly what you mean" out loud. She is one talented lady, and I am jealous as all get out that you have not only her autograph, but a doodle from her as well.
I hate people as well. As long as you can go to work and act like you don't hate everyone, you're golden. You can still hate people and enjoy helping/caring for them.

Why would you enjoy helping people you hate?
You're actually a better person than I. I once had to care for a man who murdered a toddler. I did not enjoy one minute of that.
