Looking Back and Forth
I went looking for the others, those like me. But they turned out to be too much so for my liking. I could stand them only slightly more than I could stand myself.

Misanthropy Embarrassed
When it comes down to it, though I am hyper critical of our current state, ultimately I have some level of faith and hope in humanity. My misanthropy is embarrassed.
