A Goodreads user asked Arthur Graham:

Writing is an endeavor one does mostly alone. Is it not therefore a possible indication of misanthropic tendencies? In that same vein, could that be the reason writers go out of their way to insipidly say how much they love people?

Arthur Graham Yes and yes. All writers are narcissistic, megalomaniac sociopaths, and any love they express for their readers is ultimately just another form of self worship, which evaporates just as quickly as their bogus, hollow five-star reviews.
