Bloviation

Another word I quite like.

To discourse at length in a pompous or boastful manner.

Sociopath

I quite like this word and can see myself using it a lot henceforth. According to Wikipedia it is synonymous with psychopath, but has superseded it. Dictionary.com defines it as:

A person with an antisocial personality disorder, manifested in aggressive, perverted, criminal, or amoral behavior without empathy or remorse.

The American Merriam-Webster thing defines a sociopath as:

Someone whose social behaviour is extremely abnormal. Sociopaths are interested only in their personal needs and desires, without concern for the effects of their behaviour on others.

Misanthropy

Here's a word I just learned but should have known long ago. Well, I have heard it before, I think, but I just forgot about it. Silly really seeing how it should be one that falls from my lips every time I try and explain myself. What is it? Dictionary.com defines it as a 'hatred, dislike, or distrust of humankind.' I am therefore a misanthrope or misanthropist.

Incidentally another word I learned recently was autodidact, which is 'a person who has learned a subject without the benefit of a teacher or formal education; a self-taught person.' I suppose then that I can be said to be something of one of these. Or perhaps one with autodidactic tendencies.
