I’m sick of this sick world- and by sick- I mean the whole “normal” population are also fucked up. They are just able to keep a job- but doesn’t mean the rest of the people in the world aren’t fucked up. Hell, maybe they are MORE fucked up- so apathetic toward humans and human suffering.
Like how many ppl don’t give AF about any of the wars, dead men, women and children, don’t even flinch when hearing all the stories of sick parents who had their daughter melt into the couch, or the parent/guy who stapled the kid to the wall, or the drugging and mass rape of Gisele Pelicot? Or the woman who threw her baby out the fucking balcony bc she wanted to go to a party? Well maybe she should’ve thought about it BEFORE the 9mo and got a fucking ABORTION. Or you know, give the kid away for adoption. But nah, it’s better to just throw the kid out the fucking window.
Most ppl are just immune to any of this shit. Like- is that even fucking NORMAL to NOT give a shit about fellow humans? I mean, are WE- the depressed, the “sensitive,” the “emotional” ppl- are WE the ones who are FUCKED UP or are THEY- the so-called “NORMAL” people- the ones who don’t give a shit about anyone else, the ones who can see all this horror and have no humanity- are THEY the ones who are fucked up?
To survive in this shitty, cruel human world, one has to be psychopathic.
Merry Fucking Christmas everyone

In my case, I think I’m largely immune to seeing/hearing of terrible things going on in the world.
Part of it is that I simply block out this information. When I was a bit younger and was curious about the darker side of the internet, I saw some rough things.
I realized I was a bit too sensitive and caring about other’s suffering and it was just best I didn’t know…since there wasn’t anything I could do about it anyway. I was also able to turn off my emotions as a result.
Additionally, you hear about crime stories on youtube and what evil people do to others. For the most part, I simply just avoid it…at the same time I’m able to be aware of these things, but I don’t let it get to me.
I recently heard about some poor woman who was either married or kidnapped, but she was turned into a slave and chained up for many years until she cried out for help and was rescued.
That’s just one tiny case of all the millions of horror stories that are going on out there.
I do feel sorry for people who are unable to shield themselves from the bad stuff…but to keep our sanity it’s something we have to learn to do…just block it out, like wars happening around the world.
It’s just that with social media today like X, they can take you to the farthest corners of the Earth and report on evil things going on and it can feel personal…until you accept that for all these problems, there’s nothing one can do about it.
To those people who get really affected by seeing the cruelty and evil in this world, you have to parent yourself and not be exposed to it.
The only people who can make a real difference are govts and billionaires who can mobilize others to make a better world…esp. for the most vulnerable.
Merry Christmas to you and everyone else here.
it’s not about NOT watching the news or NOT being exposed to the horror stories. My issue is that this kind of shit should NOT be happening to begin with- bc after all- we are the “advanced” and “civilized” society. But no. Humans are no more than smart apes- with just the same carnal desires.
those were just examples i wanted to use to illustrate that humans are shitty- NOT that consuming news media makes me upset. they were examples from the news simply bc everyone knows about the stories so i figure it’d be easier to mention those stories. No- it is NOT the news but HUMAN NATURE that pisses me off- that humans are essentially horrible POS’s.
I am not affected by the news- hell- for me the news is an escape from my OWN shitty life- all the shitty stuff done TO ME by other HUMANS. My issue isn’t about sticking one’s head in the sand and not watch any news or not letting the news get to us- I give the examples of the horrors in the news as just an example of the shit that humans do to others. THe way shitty ppl have done to me my ENTIRE fucking life (ok obv not as extreme as those cases mentioned) but shitty life and suffering at the hands of others.
(I edited this so now it’s kinda repetitive but whatever, too lazy to edit at 2AM)
My point is that humans are SHITTY fucking beings and I’m starting to really fucking HATE humans.
(my anger isn’t directed at you btw. if you detect anger in my posts, it’s my anger against the WORLD. and Life in general).
I don’t blame you for feeling this way…no problem I understand you’re angry at the evil people in the world and not me or others here in particular.
Like you’ve I’ve dealt with evil people all my life as well…I thought once I got older and was in the working field, I’d be dealing with decent, respectable adults.
Instead I found they were just as crappy as people I knew in HS, sometimes worse. I hate to say it but I’ve also noticed that those without university education tend to be more crass, ill-mannered and ill-tempered, compared to those with a higher education.
I also realized some of them can be intensely envious of people who have had a higher education. I had a so-called friend break up with me because he just automatically assumed anyone with a degree is ‘arrogant’ and he didn’t feel we have a right to be proud of our achievement. I think he did me a favor by weeding himself out of my life…though I made it clear if I was arrogant, why would I be his friend?
Ofc I know you’re really referring to people who cause terrible harm to others. I feel the same way…some people are just inherently evil, or they had a bad life and they rebelled against the world that made them.
Though I think there are evil teachings in religions also that can make ordinary people behave in evil ways towards others. Christianity was very barbaric a few centuries ago, though it’s mostly civilized for now.
At the same time, there are good people who are trying to make the world better. Who try to intervene and save people from suffering or harm.
I also worry about myself…we all have a breaking point and a few times I’ve been pushed past it by evil people in my life…luckily I never did anything to anyone to get myself in trouble but I came very close to making stupid, life changing decisions because some rotten ahole pushed me too far.
I’m also grateful to family/friends who supported me in bad times, made me feel normal and not to given in to me “worser angels.”
We live in an inequitable world…haves, have-nots…and that leads to anger, suffering and evil behavior.
One of my fears, if I ever got rich, is that some crazed loon would want to rob me and be ready to end my life or a family member’s over some money…without ever realizing how much I suffered my whole life and how much I earned and deserved to be better off…from my own hard work.
But we know of people who loathe the rich-even those who came from nothing and feel they’re not entitled to their wealth or that it was at the expense of poor people, which isn’t always true.
*earned it…
Right, so when ppl suggest not watching the news bc the news sucks, it doesn’t do anything for me. Hell, the news for me- distracts me from my own shitty life so in that respect, I feel like watching the news is kinda better for me. I mean, a- I like to keep up with current news and not stick my head in the sand and not be ignorant/not know wtf is going on in this world b- focusing on other ppl’s shit distracts me from my own shit. c- pretending this world isn’t shit and that life is great has never worked- none of that CBT/DBT/think happy nonsense has ever worked. Pretending or forcing oneself to “think happy” or “think positive” DOESN’T FUCKING WORK- if it did, we wouldn’t all be still on SP would we?
(again, my anger isn’t directed towards you- sometimes my posts (and my speech in person)- lead ppl to think that I’m angry at them when I’m angry at the world at large. not specific ppl- except the specific ppl who HAVE fucked me over- like fucking shitty ass DR’s)
Ya I hear you-and with incompetent doctors, or ones who don’t care, they can definitely mess up your life…but also staff.
There’s so many horror stories of messed up surgeries. I had an injury once which required surgery, but it was risky. I came close to proceeding but did my research and realized, if I just take proper care of myself, it could form a scar tissue and heal on it’s own.
I didn’t really trust this doctor either, he didn’t have the best reviews and I didn’t want to go running around looking for another one.
Anyhow, I did it on my own and then after about 6 mths it healed up on its own. It was one of the best days of my life, once the pain was gone and I felt my strength in that damaged area return.
Surgery might’ve given me a better outcome and maybe even healed quicker…but I didn’t trust the doctor to have the skills to pull it off…and if he messed it up…I’d be in major trouble, because it’s an area that’s very sensitive to pain.
As for watching the media….I’m fine either way. Sometimes I watch to know what’s going on-keep up with worth events, other times I just tune it out…whatever one is comfortable with.
Ya ‘positive thinking’ isn’t going to work if one’s life is a wreck. First we need stability and safety…the basics, which some people struggle with.
Then it’s also about good health mentally/physically and having good friends/family to make you feel you belong and to have people in your corner.
Then it’s career or finding success in some way. Lacking these things makes life challenging.
What’s sad is that we live in a world where people don’t want help their fellow man…and tbh, aside from rare cases, I’d only go out of my way to help family.
Like if I had a huge house and I had some family members who were failures in life, I’d totally let them live with me indefinitely or until they felt they could make a path for themselves.
But that’s me-most people are just not like that. Even my sister…who is a little generous, but she wouldn’t go the extra mile for you…partly because the guy she married is a selfish azz.
They have a business (which has its ups and downs), that was doing well several years ago, and they purchased a few properties. She knew I was struggling and she could’ve helped with at least a downpayment so we could also get on the property ladder, but she didn’t GAF, even though she knew of the problems I was having.
I’m pretty disappointed in her. Had our situations be reversed I couldn’t imagine letting her stay that way. Now her company is struggling, it’s in debt, and property prices are dropping…so she’s somewhat trapped in her situation…she’s even considered bankruptcy.
In my case my fortunes might change, but it’s too early to tell…but if I keep playing my cards right…then maybe in a year from now I might be in a position to bail her out, but why would I?
When you become successful, everyone has their hand out…but where were they when you were just scraping by?
But I don’t want to get ahead of myself…if more people were generous like me, there would be a little less suffering in the world I think…but most people are just selfish and don’t care about people when they ‘make it.’
“When you become successful, everyone has their hand out…but where were they when you were just scraping by?”
–Exactly. Most people will never help you, but then expect YOU to help THEM. I’m tired of shitty ass ppl that NEVER fucking help me.
The only things that made me hate this world is how broken the system is, atleast in America. As Trump is a convicted felon. Trump can break the law and be immune to punishment so as so many other elite politicians. The justice system is a joke in this country. There was a recent story of a migrant setting a woman on fire in the subway in NYC. It’s like a reminder I live in a hateful miserable world. If you’re average in this world (you make 50k or less) you’re going to live like a poor life unless you got help. Things keep going up and up. The class war here is getting interesting. The rich hate the elite rich. Oh, mentioning that, poverty here in the U.S. is a dream killer. You’re just trying to survive like everyday while your boss wants a new car, home or vacation or plans on retiring early. Oh if you have health problems here in the U.S. You’re lucky if anyone cares. Doctors don’t give af anymore. They will wait until it’s horrible to cash out on you. More suffering = more money. Rent is horrible. Goodluck survival on next to nothing wages. This economy is fk’ed its forcing boomers out of retirement. It’s a real crisis that’s not talked about alot. Us younger folk are just suffering alot because we can’t do anything about ? jobs that barely get you by. You’re easily house poor, and can’t go out because you already struggling to save money which is almost impossible nowadays. The judgemental part of society is what I truly hate and the neglect. Humans have traded their humanity for money and status. Look at me new cars and suit, Rolex. Is that really what life is about. Bragging about ? until you’re dead. Look at my helicopter, I have 200 properties. Rich boasting and boasting while I’m struggling to make it through the next day, next month. This world is a complete disaster. Dystopia.
Oh not to mention it’s a corpocracy oligarchy. Big billion dollar companies control your life. Like Blackrock, Vanguard. Always get the newest dumb phone that people will buy. Do the latest tiktok trend for views. Watch the latest Mr beast video. Spend 5 hours on day on social media because that’s what everybody else does. Be a content creator, it’s the only means of a outlet to try to make money online which is super competitive and saturated. When does the BS stop. That’s my rant. Work 40 years and die poor. Or get on welfare and die poor.
Agreed…I think we’re just totally fkd if we’re low to mid income….though tbh, being a wage-slave sucks donkey ballz…even if you make a bit more, say $70k and up…because you’re taxed a lot and you can’t even raise a family on that or get a house nowadays.
As someone once said, his dad got a job and on that one income he could get a house, 2 cars and raise a family…wages have not kept up with cost of living.
They shove these celebrities in our face all the time, making it seem like we’re all rich living in a happyland…and the reality is, that they’re just the top 1% of the population.
In the ‘real world’…we’re dealing with serious problems, like you pointed out, skyrocketing rents, house prices, inflation…lack of well paid employment and so on.
If not for the people I care about, I would’ve left this bad life ages ago. Now it is possible to be “poor” and have an ok life, IF your parents will pass down their house to you, or a nest-egg you can live off of.
That’s why some kids of ‘rich’ parents are just morons and on drugs, because they know they’ll have a cushy life, with a paid off house they just have to maintain.
Not to harp on it, but I think having a house gives you real stability…cause no matter what happens (and as long as its a good house)…then no one can throw you out, raise the rent on you, etc…I don’t trust condos cause buildings go to shiit over time.
All you need to do is make enough to keep it running and to feed yourself…so a person on a low income can still feel ‘rich’ if they are in such a position.
