So people who like people are trapped in their identities?
Interesting question. Most people in general are at least somewhat trapped in their identities (i.e. the survival instinct defining who we are and where/with whom we believe we do or don't belong), if they lack the self-awareness to detach from it at least a little. Many people get more and more entrenched in various aspects of their identity as they grow older though, regardless of how compassionate or misanthropic they are.
