I actually did find that person. We're pretty happy, grumbling and isolating from the world together. There's people and then there's people, and the latter are just awful.
First of all, genuinely happy for the both of you.
Second of all, I don't think it's mentally healthy to have such a negative view on such a large portion of a society - personally, I'm very picky with friends and acquaintances, but the "I hate people"-attitude is rather something I associate with edgy teenagers and people who never grew out of that mindset.
I mostly ignore that people who I don't like exist and reduce my interactions with them to a minimum. Constantly hating just sounds exhausting, even if it's so abstract.
You are obviously free to do as you please; I'm just trying to provide another perspective that maybe brings more peace of mind.
Hating people has a lot to do with how people interact with you.
If anytime you go out someone threatns you or rubs their leg onto yours in public transport or whatever the fuck it will be this time, you just default to this mindset.
Has something to do with self preservation.
People who don't have this constantly reinforced may be able to ignore it but it is not really a choice for all of us.
