"People"... not "Individuals"


I was having a late snack after the club on Saturday to be taught that there is a difference between "people" and "individuals". Maybe I analyze too much... yes, I do. But according to this person who I was snacking on pita and hummus with, is that I hate people... but not individuals. 
It's true, people do piss me off. But, there are the chances that I will meet someone who I could consider a friend or someone who I am fond of (in whichever way you want to perceive that). 
"People" being a more than broad and vague term reminds me of a mosh. People are chaotic, messy, hazardous, ignorant, loud, and unsure... like the stampede scene in the Lion King. 
"Individuals" are particulars who are unique, intelligent, have something worth giving, different, entertaining, intriguing, and preferably attractive... like Johnny Depp... Mmmmmmm.
The difference I find quite clear... I was quite shocked when I heard this just a couple days ago, and didn't believe it... But then I thought about it... Analyzed... and came to this conclusion- as shown above.
But that's how I am as an "Individual"... It's very difficult for me to be fond of most people I come across, It's not because I'm a bitch... It's because I'm particular. I rely a lot on the "vibes" I get when first meeting someone, however, there are times when those first judgements change. But usually, I'm right the first time. Maybe that's why I have smaller groups of friends, or just individual friends who I choose to see alone. The people that are in my life mean something to me, I don't waist my time on those who I don't like. 
The difference between "people" and "individuals".
