Is it normal to dislike people?

Mostly.Normal for most people

Yes—it's normal not to like everyone, and some people find being around others tiring or irritating. If you mean you dislike nearly everyone all the time, it may be worth asking what’s behind that feeling.

You don’t have to click with everybody, and liking people in small doses is a perfectly ordinary setting. Personality, stress, past experiences, or simply needing plenty of alone time can all make socializing feel more irritating than rewarding.

There’s a difference between not enjoying people much and feeling constantly angry, isolated, or unable to trust anyone. If it’s making your life lonelier than you want, noticing when the dislike shows up—and whether it’s aimed at everyone or certain kinds of situations—can help you understand it.
