You begin by saying that you can get along with people but generally dislike them and do not want to associate with or get along with those you do not respect. You do not respect people who do not share your passion and sense of duty to make the world a better place.

Despite your disappointment with those who do not aspire to be more socially responsible, you seek insight into how better to appreciate those around you, notwithstanding their imperfections.

Let me say I respect your sense of duty. Perhaps you might assemble a group of like-minded people for the purpose of advocating for noble causes. The idea would be to educate people of the need to be more socially conscious. Those not part of the assemblage could be viewed as potential cohorts, and not civic deficients.

Thomas Jefferson said, "Every difference of opinion is not a difference of principle." As Jefferson intimates, those who disagree are still entitled to respect. You may want to keep that in mind.
