I have this weird dichotomy of 'loving' humanity, like I want the best for them and to achieve fulfillment and a lot of my goals are driven by this, but also that I don't 'like' humanity, as in I don't really want to interact with it and it makes me feel bad

I actually think this puts you in a great position because you have a great deal of objectivity where it is needed. It’s hard to be a good EA if you value those close to you more than those you’ll never see.

Well I think humanity and people are two different things, so.. you dont have to feel bad for not liking people, nobody does!

I know people like this. They live in a world of ideals, possibility, and self righteousness, while ignoring reality

I feel the same. To reach a state where you are continuously loving everyone with the same intensity needs a state of unbearable pain inflicted not by humans but by the merciless entropy. Or be in a state of thoughtlessness for a very long duration (hours and days)
