Have you reached the point where you have nothing left?

Post Reply New Topic

I hate to only be starting new threads and not really contributing much, but things have been so stressful in my life lately. It seems everyone hates me. People only (generally) are out for themselves and will screw you any chance they get. It is me against the world.

As a result, I have zero reserves left for people. I feel that I am becoming part of the very world that I hate. The world of cynicism, apathy, and indifference.

I say this, because being nice to people has only resulted on them stepping all over me. I'm not a mean person. I have just reached the point where I don't care about anyone anymore, except for a few people in my immediate family.

I have no reserves left to give anyone the time of day, even if someone stops and asks me for the time. I am just angry

Have you ever reached the point where you just don't care anymore?

Yes, it's not my nature to be like this, and I try to fight it, but I do increasingly feel this way. After the hundredth time when you've done something correct or responsible, which is then ignored, while the fraud or sociopath or thug gets the credit or benefit, it's difficult to want to keep doing the right thing.

I reached that point some years ago and was just completely done with people. But I spoke to my mother as to why she always helps people when they do nothing for her.

She told me that she helps people because she like to believe that people are good and that being nice to people makes her happier as a person, she also said that sometimes bejng nice annoys people more than getting upset or angry lol.

Maybe it might be good for you to take a step back and just have some time to yourself. Don't be so hard on yourself sometimes I just hate people aswell because they lie or betray you.

In the end while your being angry with them the people your angry with have probably forgotten about you being angry with them.

I hope this helps and make sense. If it doesn't then I at least hope you feel better soon (>^_^)>

I've been at this point for a while. You get to a point where you feel a complete disconnect from the rest of the world and begin to take pleasure in isolating yourself from it cause it is the only thing that keeps you sane. Start reading some philosophy, many great thinkers of the past going back thousands of years have eventually come to the same realizations, why do you think so many geniuses end up going "mad". The ability to see the world for what it is can either be a blessing or a curse, most likely both. If you have such desires I would recommend doing something with it artistically, as talking to most others about it usually just makes you end up feeling worse and further justified for feeling such way.

I think I'm getting there. There are certain people that I'd do anything for, and I love them dearly, but for most people I'm very blunt and avoidant. Most people are just out there for themselves, and most friendships in the past have just been to get something from me, so I give them what they want and shut the door on them. I have no time for that sort of companionship.

It almost sounds like you're angry that people are out for themselves, etc.

If you really didn't care, then it'd be more neutral - more like the Polish saying "Not my circus, not my monkees." Which means all that crazy stuff is separate from you, and who cares? Anyway, that's where I've kind of gotten to, unless their behavior impacts my life.

I understand.
