misanthropically

/mɪsænθɹˈɑpɪkli/ adv

In a misanthropic manner.

Word Origin Misanthropically comes from misanthropic, built from Greek misos 'hatred' and anthropos 'human being' — literally 'hating humans.' The -ic, -al, -ly suffixes make it an adverb. So behaving misanthropically is acting with a dislike for people. The same roots give us misogyny (hatred of women) and philanthropy (love of humans), and anthropos appears in anthropology.
