A man who does not like people: who is this?

A person who does not like people, feels dislike and hatred towards them, is called a misanthrope.

Such personalities are divided into two types. The first is a latent misanthrope. People of this type obey some external authority. It could be a law or a religion. They attach themselves to a strong personality, they do not follow the considerations of decency, but their interpretation of the behavior written in the "book."

People with this kind of personality disorder avoid society. This is their manifestation of hatred for humanity, moral values. But, as a rule, they have their own narrow circle of such acquaintances, what kind of people they like, with whom they maintain relations quite normal. They scrupulously choose their friends with whom they will communicate. A person who does not like people squeamishes with human mistakes and weaknesses.

Known misanthropes were the French pianist Charles Valentin Alcan, American actor Bill Murray. Of course, the most famous is Gregory House from the popular TV series "Doctor House".

A person who does not like people of the second type is an active sociopath. He can keep himself in hand for some time and be completely respectable if he is with those with whom he must behave decently and responsibly. But as soon as he breaks out of this circle, he immediately ceases to restrain himself.

The kind of abnormal behavior for misanthropes is directly criminal. Such people can be rapists or murderers from fraudulent or hooligan considerations. They are capable of simply messing around, inadequate to behave on the roads, not obey orders from the authorities.

A person who does not like people, as a rule, has a single life. Rather, this was the main motivation for the disorder. To determine that a person is a misanthrope, in practice it is very difficult. But such a warehouse of personality can be adjusted. A sociopath becomes due to social alienation or in the event that a person is impatient with respect to the inherent traits of character among the majority of citizens.

There is also the opposite of such an individual. This is a person who loves people. He is called a "philanthropist," or "humanist." Such people are benevolent and loving, they are engaged in charity in favor of poor citizens. One of the most famous philanthropists, Bill Gates, along with Warren Buffett, organized a campaign called "The Oath of Vows". Three years after its creation, more than one hundred and five billionaires joined it with the assurance that they will give more than 50 percent of their capital to the organization. A feature of the "Oath of the Gift" is that a person who wants to donate money to charity can choose which country or program to support.

The list of famous philanthropists of the world includes David Rockefeller - American banker, Victor Pinchuk - Ukrainian billionaire, Mark Zuckerberg - American programmer, developer and founder of the most popular social network Facebook, Mohammed Ibrahim - businessman, founder of the firm Celtel.
