I also feel that humanity is a cancer upon the Earth, however I still love individuals and I find that most people are good if you're good to them. Like Vastness said, I think misanthropy is a dark road to go down, I was starting to go there towards the end of my opiate addiction. People generally respond well to you if you're open and share of yourself. I try to just be that way and it seems to attract people. I was a serious introvert as a kid, I was shy but also a lot of it was just the general abuse I got from my peers overall. I always had a close group of friends who were like family to be (and have always found that in different stages of my life, too), but by and large my peers picked on me a lot so I tended to be quiet and shy. At college and through my twenties that started to change and now, at 35, I find myself an extrovert most of the time, I WANT to talk to people, meet people. Like when I get an Uber ride, I'm looking forward to talking to a new person and getting to know them just a little.
I think feeling misanthropic is itself a turn-off to people. It's a vicious cycle. The more bad about yourself you feel, and the more distrust you feel towards individuals you meet, the more they're going to feel these things from you and subconsciously feel repelled or at least not attracted.
Anyway sorry I'm kinda high and diverging from the point I was trying to make, which is that it's possible to hold both views: that humanity as a sum total is destructive and cancerous and cruel, and yet still hold the view that any given individual is probably cool if they were showing you who they really are. The key is to show them who you really are so that they want to do the same. Think about when you meet someone and they're dismissive of you, or rude, or even brusque and distracted. It doesn't make you feel great, it's gonna make you feel closed off or even defensive. Sometimes I think people don't realize how they're coming off to others. So much of communication is non-verbal through body language, and facial language is the loudest.
I re-read this post and I hope it doesn't come across as me telling you not to feel misanthropic or that I have any sort of negative opinion of you about it. The feeling makes sense to reach, sadly. I just wanted to try to say that I don't think it's necessary and there are ways to be aware of that you can improve the situation, IF you want to (because for me, when I felt that way, it made me angry and sad and depressed and I hated it).
