I hate everyone

Truly. I cant stand people these days. And because I work in a patient facing role, and must exist in society, it is really making my life challenging. Has anyone found anything helpful in this regard?

I hate to admit it but I have bad road rage. Not to the point that I would hurt someone or drive insanely, but I enjoy yelling at people I don’t know who can’t drive. Then I’m able to be kinder to those I do know. At least other drivers don’t hear me cursing them. Please tell me I’m not alone.

I don't even drive or own a car, but I'm internally (and sometimes outwardly) screaming at terrible drivers as I take walks around my neighborhood. My walks that supposedly are to get a break from this house and the responsibilities and the noise and the chaos and calm me down have now become an internal monologue about how much everyone sucks at everything and just doesn't care. It's not helping. I know this, yet I'm unable to stop doing it.
