I Feel Humans Are Horrible

I have not been diagnosed with any mental illnesses...but I have known people or of people who are or were...and never hated them for it.........it is an illness for some people just like any break down of any other illness....I guess i should have made myself clearer. i did not say I had a mental illness. Let's get that clear....so don't try to paint me into that corner, if that is what you are trying to do. Seems like it,.

 

What?!! No I was agreeing with you! Saying I don't hate people but I hate the illness and what it makes people do sometimes.

 

ok...never can be sure...my guard can be up if I really do not know who someone is.

 

I do admit to being very suspicious of people on social media...as I do not know who I am talking to to sometimes..........who are you? Haven't I seen you before as some other user name? Your energy is very familiar....etc...That is why I said yesterday that social media is really not for me. I have belonged to two forums now is all...but to only this forum now..........and I come back here....as it is addicting and I do love some of the people I have come to know and love here now......but damn social media can mess with my head sometimes....i am great in real life....room full of people in real life...hey, you all get a hug!

 

Take the advice given to the OP. We aren't all bad!

Seriously though, I know what you mean. I'm uber cautious around another group. But here, generally speaking, I have not met a bad egg on this site. I mean, I guess I try to be careful with whom I speak to, so I maybe avoid some... But generally speaking, and I'm still relatively new, so I'm either lucky or I'm right. Maybe a little of both. Hehe

 

Yeah, social media is a world of complete mind f uckery! Hehe!

Oh vey.!

 

Why isnt everybody bored of Facebook by now? Fookin hell, I thought it was due for collapse at least 5 years ago

 

I think a few people in this thread have dropped one too many tabs in their time.

 

No, I don't think anyone is bad here really.....but I just don't understand some people sometimes....and it is frustrating trying to make sense sometimes....as i never want to assume anything....even if my instincts are telling me....it is ok..........I get scared, is all.

 

Probably because of their friends and family who stay on there making it worthwile to keep your profile. Some others for the quality news

 

Oh I agree. I do try to be aware of what I buy and who produces it, not to sound like I'm on a high horse or anything. I'm typing this from a smart phone so I'm aware that I'm going to be hypocritical no matter how hard I try to be conscientious about what I buy.

I think its hard to ever be completely out of a system that is built on the backs of vulnerable people.

Thats really interesting, I'm going to have to research these stories.

Speaking of Buddhism i've been thinking maybe I should delve into Buddhism. I think it would help some of my anxieties and worries

 

i get scared too. I was going to say more here and before, but I'm scared. haha ^^ ahh. nah, it just gets to be too much sometimes. gotta stop overthinking (I speak for myself when I say this). Yeah, just not enough time in the day. Take it day at a time. Gotta be patient. Gotta be...like a hippie!

 

you are amongst friends here, young Melialai

 

bored?? Well, it depends how you use it. If you want to be low key and not like or comment or anything, then yes, boring as hell. Can only watch so many posts about, well, ok politics are the ones that get me most, but there are others.

But if you do "react" and "comment", well it can get to be quite addictive and/or you're constantly worried or excited about what someone else might say or react with next. Ha! I'm actually surprised at how blase I've become somedays with peoples reactions to my things. Honestly though, I still have quite a degree of humility, because I know how quickly all of that could just disappear and you're left with just one or no reactions. Um, thought I had more to say on this, but well, guess this tired me out.

 

Thanks piafiafiaf.

 

To be aware of your profiting off of the disenfranchised is important, as most folks don't want to think about it. In order to live in our society, you sort of have to partake, in one way or another. I think it's important to pick your battles and try to help where you can, which you seem to be doing. I think it's foolish to think that you can't both live in the system and fight the system. In fact, you need to do both, unless you chose to live in destitute poverty; and in that case, you can't fight system, since you won't have the resources. So, yes, you are part of the problem, but if you can also be more of the solution than you are of the problem then you are in pretty good shape.

 

Not talking about the idea

Talking about the brand

Myspace went the way of the Dinosaur, thought Facebook would have died by now, superseeded by something better

 

I'm about 90% sure I'm going to retire in a Buddhist country, most likely either Vietnam or Thailand.

Even though I think religion is dumb, Buddhism is the least dumb religion

And the difference in the general vibe it gives the population to me is obvious and huge

 

I only know humans on an individual basis and here in Canada (eastern Ontario) they're pretty nice or neutral

 

Costa Rica is nice, too, and the retired CIA guys won't bother you because they don't want anyone to know they're retired CIA - they're very low profile
