Is it normal to dislike people in general?
It’s not unusual to feel fed up with people or prefer your own company, especially when you’re stressed or have been let down. If you dislike nearly everyone all the time, it may be worth asking what’s feeding that feeling—not because you’re bad, but because it can make life lonelier than you want.
Yes, plenty of people have stretches where other people seem exhausting, irritating, or generally not worth the effort. Stress, bad experiences, feeling overwhelmed, or simply being more solitary can make your patience for people run low.
There’s a difference between preferring your own company and feeling so hostile or distrustful that you can’t enjoy anyone’s company. People vary a lot here: some are naturally more social, while others are perfectly content with a small circle and plenty of alone time.
If this is a recent change, or the dislike is making you feel isolated or angry most of the time, it could help to look at what’s been going on lately. You don’t have to become a people person; it’s enough to figure out whether this feeling is working for you.
