I'm assuming you mean me in particular, doesn't being around mostly anyone make people happy?
Nnnnnnnnnnope, i am fairly uncomfortable around strangers, people i don't know very well and the scant few people that i know yet am not on wavelength with. I mean yes, if i were to meet you in person the first time, i'd likely be a bit uncomfortable as well (social anxiety and introverted tendencies, hooray), but not as much as with Mr(s). Random Person On The Street #457, since i'm at least pretty sure that you wouldn't be an asshole to me out of nowhere (which, in simple terms, is what i fear from strangers). I do like being with friends, but it's a bit like riding a rollercoaster for me; fun and exhilerating, but at some point it becomes too much, after which i'd prefer some solitude. Thankfully, most of my friends either understand or have the same tendencies. :v
But dude, let me tell you, awful people are rarely the ones who think they're awful in a disheartened manner. Awful people are the ones who race around on their scooters on every available surface in the neighborhood, breaking every single law of traffic, recklessly disregarding the safety of everyone around them, and making you silently wish that they crash painfully so the asphalt can knock some sense into their unprotected heads. Awful people are also the thankfully few fugitives/immigrants who are granted asylum and then proceed to steal from nearby stores, harrass the locals and attempt to rape young girls (spoiler warning: this has happened). In other words, awful people are most often the ones who are painfully unaware of how awful they are, and the occasional shameless asshole who revels in being a shithead. From what i know, you're not any of those. I'm reluctant to even discuss the word "hopeless", because oh man people can change for the better (exhibit A: Danny Trejo. Criminal junkie in his youth, now a professional actor and by all accounts an exceedingly nice man).
Long story short, you're really selling yourself short here. :v
