They are often needy, selfish, petty, and uninteresting. They are sometimes deceptive, devious, and cruel. Rarely are they kind or considerate, and almost never have you seen them act truly selflessly. You may admit without shame that they exhaust you, for you can neither control them nor the way they make you feel.
But consider: what would your life be without them? Without others there would be no language (for who would you communicate with?). There would be no poetry, no music, no artwork. Without others, there would be only the hollow sounds and vacant images of an animal seeking its next meal. There would be nothing you consider life - there would be only existence.
All of the things you love about your life would not be possible without others. They are the reason you are human.
So do what you can to embrace them, accept them for what they are, and act accordingly. If they refuse you, then you have lost nothing, but have gained much through the effort.
