Understand the two types of misanthropy.
>Disappointed Misanthropy: You're disappointed with humanity, you're a little blackpilled, and you're afraid that it will never get any better. You're also afraid that if you hope it gets better, that hope will be crushed.
>Edgy Misanthropy: You think humanity is shit and so are you, you think this thought makes you smarter than all the other mindless meat organisms on this planet, and you think life is meaningless because yours is.
