Can social anxiety and depression make you really dislike people in general?

Because I feel like that's whats happening
Answer:
sure it can.be optimistic because things will get better if you are optimistic, don't expect to to happen overnight, read some books on attitude and try not to associate with negative people.
yep
You ever taken a personality test to pinpoint why you feel the way you do in public? Try a Myers-briggs style...easy to find online for free. You can learn more about yourself...that might help understand why you feel the way you do.

And...yes you can begin "disliking" people because its not comfortable for you.
Yes. i'm currently on Cymbalta. it seems to be helping. before i talked to the doctor about it(i didn't realize it was depression) i felt that way a lot of time about people. I didn't want to be around people or talk to people. You should see a doctor if you feel this way.
Yes, because you won't want to be around them.
Yes..However I feel it is a mistake to blame your problems on the mental dissorder of the week. Instead take personal resposiblity for your own well being. This is the only way to make things better. BTW sometime I don't like people either. I find that a good hard workout chages my mood better than any medication or therapy.
Yes it can. You know something is not right with you and it makes you angry that other people seem to have no problem. The key word is seem. You've heard the saying, the grass is greener... well, it's not. Other people have problems. If you know you do have a problem, get real help. Even if you have to take meds for awhile till you get balanced, it's worth it. Once things get balanced out, you can get off of them. It's amazing what a little time can accomplish. Wish you luck.
Having the same problems myself, I would recommend studying your state of mind more fully, and your disease. I doubt that you are "disliking" people, but rather you are so uncomfortable in social situations you may sabotage yourself and blame other people, which leads to the mistaken impression that nobody is worth having to endure your discomfort. At that point, you may begin to blame "people in general" for "making you" dislike then. Work this out with a therapist if you can.
