Well, you can either run off into the forest or kill yourself because as long as you're with another person, one of you is going to be doing the stuff you hate so much, even if you guys are doing it unconsciously. It's human nature to be liked and it's human nature to take our self image and try to fix out what we think are problems to be better liked by those around us.
The only way to escape human nature is to escape humanity.
It's not even that. I'm sure they're are thousands of people I'd like out there but I'll never meet any of them because it's not worth the headache. I have a few really close friends and that's all I care for. Those close friends rarely if ever do the stuff I hate. I have contemplated running off into the forest however.
As a side note, I don't try to be better liked. People just have to accept me for who I am. I may ask for opinions and then try out new things or change my mind after personal reflection but I'll always be me. Adjusting one's self image in hopes of being better liked? Ha.
In the end, maybe my lack of willingness to follow the sheep is to blame for my resentment towards society. /shrug

I like how you're really connecting with Tuhl, since I'm pretty sure he's the only other person on this board that speaks French.
I understood half of it and had to translate the rest. I see your point though in that he could have just as easily posted it in english. I guess it just goes back to what you were saying about self image and being liked ;]
