You're not alone. What about family and coworkers? If you just exclude those then I'm also alone, as are a lot of people. Only people who cannot live on their own would tell someone to be a loser for being alone, when in fact they are the losers, because their life revolves around someone else.

I am alone by choice because most people suck and the only way to tolerate them is to not let them near you.

Most people suck. That's exactly it. Why are there so many a*holes? I've been conditioned over the years to not trust anyone. I have a wife and kid, and work a day job, and go to PTA meetings, etcetera, but so many people let money turn them into greedy people.

It also seems like being anonymous allows this behavior to truly manifest. Whether it be people in an Internet forum causing a flame war or people behind the wheel of a car cutting you off.

TLDR; People are a*holes and let money destroy their lives.

Well, this reminds me of a thing I heard a friend once mentioning:

if you meet an a-hole during your day, well, that's just an a-hole, nothing to it. But if everyone you meet and everyone around you are a-holes, then the a-hole actually is you :D

But... I actually do agree with you 100% about greed. Well, that's the root of all problems of humanity since just about ever, isn't it.
