How to use "Misanthropic" in context?
There is a widespread misconception that being misanthropic is negative and self-besmirching. But in actuality, the dictionary definition of "misanthropic" is disdainful or disdainful of others, especially people. The Oxford English Dictionary traces the word back to the ancient Greeks, and it originally referred to a character in Homer's Odyssey who is constantly trying to get away from people. Over time, however, the word came to be used more generally to refer to someone who feels little or no sympathy or empathy for others.
