Wow, the outcome of the poll is aweful. Until now, I'm one of only 3 people who didn't vote for "I hate everybody" - and I already thought I was misanthropic.

I think it's mainly due to the lack of a middle option between "Crowds, large gatherings, and people in general don't bother me." and "No! I hate people and wish they would just go away!".

I'm a little surprised, looking at the votes.

I DO like other people "from the start" - and for some unknown reasons, most likes me. More or less.

Some people "learns" to like me - but it takes quite a long time....... and a very few can't stand me - but in that case, I am sure we agree upon each others view on the other.

ppp-people???

I don't like when strangers stare at me. That signals to me that they want something from me.. obviously this is not 100% truth, so .. but I don't like to be stared at if I don't know the person or his/her intentions. I know it's weird but I go to protect-my-property-at-all-cost-kill-intruder-mode
I don't show it, but I can't help it. I don't have trust to people by default and I don't believe that all humans are good.

I guess this all is to my fear of not being able to control situations, or better yet survive. It is strange, I live in crime free country. But I always need to know I can handle the situation by myself, or I can escape it, or at least survive. That's just the way I am, but I'm not those super suspicious people who avoid contact, I'm just weird in other ways .

Wow, glad to know most of 'Poly hates people just as I do.

I like the idea of people, but I'm pretty anti-social.

I love people

esp. people with breasts and a vagina. preferribly if they were born that way.

I like people. I just can't stand to be in the presence of idle, extended chatter.

I'm terrible in social situations, and will get up and leave on a whim when I cant stand to listen any longer. I'm probably more of a loner because I value silence.

I am a very sociable person but don't really like crowds or crowded places, too claustrophic, and before I started taking the prozac made me very anxious and self conscious...but in a social context with a group of people, fine, no worries...

unless you're someone i know personally, i don't tend to like you. as in, if i'm sitting next to you on the el train and i don't know you, and you want to shake my hand, i'm going to move as far away from you as possible.

[Ben Kenobi]

No surprise.

Most of the people on the forum prefer small crowds. Those who prefer big crowds and don't like being alone, aren't going to post on an internet forum.

I like people.
I voted for the top option, as it seems to fit me best.
