I sort of tell myself that it's probably that I just hate how people are under capitalism, but sometimes I wonder if I simply dislike being around people in general.

I work in retail and while I like to think I think pretty highly of humanity I sometimes wonder if I'm turning into a misanthrope. I think my annoyances more have to do with the pace and pay of work under capitalism rather than just hating customers (but I will shit talk customers for stupid questions in the break room).

You work in retail. Ideologically its the place were customers can act out the power dynamic of being a capitalist.
