Exactly! I hear this all the time in my line of work "I don't like people". Or I don't care what people think of me. What they're really saying is "I don't like people because they have the potential to hurt me or I don't like people because they bring out and make me reflect on my flaws or the truth.. whether that be that I'm not assertive enough or I shop to much or my Boyfriend is cheating on me. Most issues can be resolved if you have the tools and know how. Cutting people off is not wanting to do the work to repair or even face the issues. It really says more about the accuser. These people often end up isolated and alone as they never see the error of their own ways and go through life blaming others for their hurt and pain.. Hence cutting people off easily because they're easily triggered - because they haven't dealt with the past and here it is again until. You do. The quicker you realise that everyone is flawed, not everyone thinks the same as you, and some are more hurt than others and you accept them as is (as long as their pain is not being projected onto you) then the easier your relationships will become. The, I don't care what people think, is from people who don't want to deal with their stuff and it's easier to be nasty and not care than bring up the hurt. These people feel justified because it's gone past the part of healing after being hurt and not dealing with it for a long period of time and usually just repeating cycles getting angrier as the road gets harder the more you ignore the obvious.. The only one that suffers long term is the one cutting everyone off. Their reality will become more blurred and lonely until they realise its them or least part of it.
