Every human has the innate potential to be a creep and a jerk. Fortunately circumstances don't usually arise to bring that out in most people and they are, for the most part, pretty good. There are those, on the other hand that do not require special circumstances to be rude and mean. They seem to have been born bad. I am misanthropic toward that breed but for the most part I am not.
Not really. Because after all we do have a social dimension and people are the only game in town. I like to think I am just realistic so I take people with a grain of salt.
To some extent, yes I am. There are very few people with whom I care to spend long hours or days and I would prefer to be alone than with someone I don't care for or who irritates me.
