Hmm, when I think of "fuck people," I think less of a jaw-clenched, scowling sort of "fuck people," and more of a universal disdain for other people's likes, dislikes, and social norms. Kinda like.. Get in on the universal joke man. None of this external bullshit matters. Go read some Kierkegaard, and learn how to laugh at absurdity rather than getting hung up by it.

Some really smart guy probably once said "Don't sweat the small shit bro, and it's really all small shit."

Meditation is cool, education is cool, getting laid helps. Take a class in astronomy some time, and whenever you feel shitty, try thinking of what a billion years actually means..

Also, a blue-collar type anger-management class will help you develop tools (coping mechanisms, for those of you reading this who think you're amateur psychologists) to stop yourself from dwelling or acting on negative impulses (defense mechanisms, ya lil' Freuds).

Besides deep or focused breathing exercises (mentioned before - for good reason), one of mankind's best coping strategies, look up thought-stopping and distraction to start with IMO. They are fairly easy to implement, and from what I have seen in the clinical environment, fairly effective.
