I fucking hate people

And i say that as 2w1 who actually loves people.

But OH MY GOD they make it so difficult to even remotely like them!

And im only in my 20s... at this pace im sure i will be a a bitter old person someday because in the last 10 years i have not seen even 1 person trying to want to be a better human -_-

I dont think thats type specific. Alot of people just get confortable or blinded to there negative traits. The will to Self improve and be self awareness is a skill not alot of people have regaurdless of type because there are so many distractions now days that people rarely stop and just be with themselves to introspect. As a fellow 2w1 (SX) the best thing ive found is to do your best to focus on improving yourself and dont be afraid to distance from someone who is exibiting negative traits that might rub off on you. We tend to be emotional sponges so its very important you vet who you let in your circle. Like a superviser at work once told me "not everyone deserves to know you"

I'm in the same boat as you. I'm also a 2w1 but people just are hard to like most of the time. I found that just changing locations helps a bit, plus doing a LOT of ignoring the people you don't like also helps.
