A hatred or dislike of human society and human beings; a misanthropic condition or disposition.
From Greek a- ('without' or 'away from') + anthropos ('human') + -ia (noun suffix). This term describes an emotional or psychological state of avoiding or despising humanity.
While we often use 'misanthropy' today, 'apanthropia' has an older, more clinical ring to it—philosophers used this word to describe people who genuinely couldn't stand being around other humans!
