I hate girls. I've grown to hate my own gender, is this normal?

Yes. For some girls this is quite normal.

Absolutely. Sometimes I look around and can’t believe the people around me. They’re pathetic, fake, bitchy, way too moody and dramatic. But hey, it’s a girl thing.

It’s ok. I hate my own gender too sometimes!

@chels – Sure is a girl thing, bleh. It’s hard to find decent friends that are girls too. Ha ha.

@Oxymoron Absolutely. A lot of times girls are craving attention and badly. It’s really hard to deal with people like that, kind of makes you want to throw up. (or bang your head against a wall)

You’re hanging out with the wrong girls. Find new friends pronto. I keep away from the type you described.

@Oxymoron welcome to my world, I hated most of the girls in my high school, Girls I see on the street; i’m just disgusted with the way woman look and act these days… especially with what they wear and how make up some cake on.
especially on friday nights it’s disgraceful

It’s very normal. I gave many girl-friends that hate other girls because there is too much drama between them, especially compared to guys.
In my opinion, I find girls with more guy friends than girls easier to trust in a relationship.

Normal, though outright hatred is a bit much. They’re trying to mature; please bear with them :D
You are an exception to your observation, and where there is one exception, there are likely more. Seek out your fellows, and when possible, offer guidance to your foes. Dwell not on the foibles of others, lest it have an adverse effect on your health.

Hell, the way the world is, pretty much everyting’s normal.

Most of the blokes I work with are fake, full of BS I never socialise with them, they’re always in some competition or other trying to out do each other any way they can, I can’t be bothered with all the Macho Bull they churn out day after day!! Give me the company of a level headed down to earth woman any day! If there is such a thing??? :-/

It’s important to keep in mind that deep down (or not so deep), people suck.

I know exactly what you mean. Most of the time @chels is the only girl I LIKE talking to.
And like @Nullo said. People suck.

Maybe, you dislike some girls….hate is a very strong word.

Growing up is not easy…it will get better in time. Like someone said, maybe you need to develop a new group of friends! It is a great big world out there…there are lots of nice girls around…just not in your group!

Good luck….and thank you for sharing your feelings!

Whatever,unless of course you’re lesbian.Then i’d reconsider if I were you.

I don’t think it is that you hate girls; it sounds more that you dislike fake, pretentious people, and are maybe afraid that such dislike will socially isolate you forever. I take it that you are fairly young, and I am afraid that a lot of girls go through a fake, pretentious phase, so disliking them is definitely going to be a social problem for you for a couple of years. It will very probably get better at some point, though – when you are e.g. no longer forced to socialize with a particular group of people just because they happen to be in your school.

Just do your best to be polite and sincere even when others aren’t, and seek out people you do like, and it will sort itself out.

@Janka

Sound advice!!

Yes, this is normal. It’s really easy to see the type of girl you’re describing, especially if you attend high school or college. But, I guarantee that once you spend some time as an adult, you’ll see fewer and fewer of this type of “woman.” They still exist, but fewer survive that way outside of their small ponds.

I’m somewhat unwillingly female =P and am fed up with seeing all these people almost putting on some act (although, I kinda think, maybe because of being on this planet etc and all everything teaches people, they might think they’re expected to do this, or even think it really is them…)
It kind of seems like from the minute you’re born people are smothering you with gender stereotypes and either you grow to hate them, or you grow into them and maybe actually believe them. And where so many people believe them, it feels like your being made to be your body, not your soul/ your self or whatever… I don’t know though I’m probably just ranting, but it makes me angry man >=|

I think everyone likes to feel they are better than someone else and you have decided to choose other girls.

Read what you posted again. Think you are not judgemental? Just b/c somone chooses to look different than you doesn’t mean they are less than you. You say you wait to till you hear them speak, but do you wait to find out who they are inside? You don’t know what life for them is like.

Start giving people more of a chance. You might ne surprised to find real actual feeling people under the hiar spray and glitter gloss.

A lot of girls are scared to be an individual, they just want to hide in the herd, Learn how to truly be the better person but judging less and encouraging other women to be their best.

It’s normal, especially if you are high school age. I always felt out of place in high school because I didn’t share my classmates’ interest in boys, make up, and clothing. I was looking for the finer things in life. Over time, your feelings may change as your peers mature. Not all women are shallow. And as Shae said, if you encourage other women to be their best, you may find a congenial spirit “under the hair spray and glitter gloss”.

@PhillyCheese That’s true most of the time, but I have known or two women in my lifetime who maintained friendships exclusively with men because they were insecure and jealous of other women.

No, it’s not normal in the stated context. It’s normal to prefer not to be around anyone with those characteristics. The answer—don’t.

You sound bitter and angry? Why bother with people whom you condescend to? You are putting a whole lotta energy into those you do not like.

We tend to disapprove of others who exhibit behaviors that we dislike in ourselves.
Just sayin’

I do think this is normal – gender norms are limiting, in many ways and don’t ring true for many people. Find pride in the person you are and make friends with people that you can respect.

Ugh tell me about it!!

Acknowledge your shadow, and go from there.

“People who passionately irk us are usually mirroring our own shadows back to us, though ours may surface with a different rendition that we do not recognize.”

Overconfidence bias, much? Maybe a little illusory superiority thrown in there?

@tinyfaery GA

No one wants to acknowledge that they really aren’t all that different from the people they “hate”. Everyone is human underneath. You are being ridiculously judgmental. I think your attitude is “normal” in that it’s common and I’d be willing to bet that some of the girls you “hate” have the exact same attitude about you. But it’s not normal in that it isn’t an enjoyable way to go through life and that it seems to signify that you are way too judgmental and condescending.

Maybe you are projecting, and hate being a girl?

Sometimes what we hate in other people, we hate in ourselves….
Try some self-loving and maybe these girls won’t look so bad.

And whether it’s normal or not still doesn’t make hating people you don’t know okay….

You can’t say you hate “girls” as a whole. Sure, a lot of girls are annoying as shit, dumb, fake, etc. Don’t I know it—you should see my college campus. But I’ve still found female friends. Sometimes even the dumb or fake ones aren’t bad to have around either, I find them really easy to chat with from time to time…I could never take them in large doses, though.

What I hate is when girls claim “OMG, I only hang out with guys, there’s like, no drama there! With girls there’s always drama!!!1” Simply untrue. I need girls around; dumb, smart, fake, genuine, whatever they are, sometimes it’s good to just have someone listen to you talk about inane bullshit, random personal grievances, and actually be interested. That’s what I adore about females.

And, when you can really connect with a female and find a close friend in her, it’s great. I have several girl friends where there’s no drama at all, just a lot of laughter and a deep trust.

I don’t discriminate against women – I hate most people, period. Many females act, talk, and dress stupidly, but just as many males do it, too. Growing up, it was hard for me to be friends with other females, because I was very different. But then, it was hard for me to be friends with males, too.

Usually, women hate certain guys, but I can hate my own gender sometimes, too. Basically, if people get all pissed off for no reason, I think they deserve to be punished. And we all know the stereotype of blonde girls being dumb and ditzy klutzes (i.e. Kelly Bundy), but apparently, there’s another where they are complete bitches (which Elliot would sometimes behave as in early Scrubs episodes). WHY do we bother being angry? Should there be a better reason? And will the world EVER be sane again?
