The rock group RUSH has a song about people like this on their latest album (Clockwork Angels). The lyrics fit pretty well with these types. (That guy at the movie theater is where I first noticed the connection).:

WALKING AMONG THE PEOPLE - who are so content, so blind - the Anarchist hears the pedlar’s call, and sneers derisively. “What do I lack? Ah ... vengeance?”

Will there be world enough and time for me to sing that song?
A voice so silent for so long
For all those years I had to get along, they told me I was wrong
I never wanted to belong - I was so strong

I lack their smiles and their diamonds; I lack their happiness and love
I envy them for all those things, I never got my fair share of

The lenses inside of me that paint the world black
The pools of poison, the scarlet mist, that spill over into rage
The things I’ve always been denied
An early promise that somehow died
A missing part of me that grows around me like a cage

In all your science of the mind, seeking blind through flesh and bone
Find the blood inside this stone
What I know, I’ve never shown; what I feel, I’ve always known
I plan my vengeance on my own - and I was always alone

Oh - They tried to get me
Oh - They’ll never forget me

I just can’t get into the new Rush albums. They were my favorite group as a kid though, and I love them. Geddys voice is shot, I’m sad to say. It’s just age
