I feel like anyone who even slightly annoys me, lets me down or betrays me, underestimates me, etc etc. I wanna give them what for. What the hell is wrong with this world? I'm not a bad person, I mean well. And I was a nice child. But this bloody earth place has polluted me. Its changed my perception completely of what I have to do to get by. I'm nice to people and help them, but they treat me with no respect. I'll adopt a kinda Robin Hood style, be nice to the good people and not nice to the bad. I'm not sure if i'm being paranoid, but, the world is obsessed with fame now, its more important than actually being talented. Reality tv everywhere I look. All people wanna do is do their job, even if they hate it with a passion, just so they can afford a weekend in the pub. Not everyone, but the majority. Or they all like the same music apparently! Killers, Oasis, Kaiser Chiefs??? Get real!! !! ! The latest trend is facebook, which is like watching paint dry. No-one gives a f**k about anyone. Well i'm happy to be the minority even if its just me on my own. Why do people keep letting me down, when I try so hard to please them. Well f**k it, f**k them and f**k the world! :evil:

Welcome to the real world, suckuh.

Just kidding. I know it sucks. Pay these people no mind, and make sure you're always in good company.

C'mon ... don't hold back! Tell us how you really feel!

I'm joking, of course. The sentence that I highlightened in bold says it all - nobody respects a nice guy (take note, all you single guys!). "Nice" is perceived by many as "weak." I'm not entirely certain why, but I do know that respect must be earned, either by skill and talent, or by bluff and bluster, and often it's a combination of both.

I'm not just a nice guy though. I'm hell bent on success. I like evil music. I'm not religious. But yeah one of the things i'm trying to do this year is not give people my respect untill they've earnt it. I feel like I just wanna snap, maybe beat the s**t into someone who deserves it, and that would help.

Mistake # 1 - Doing things and expecting respect as opposed to doing things that are right simply because it's the right thing to do.

Mistake # 2 - Attempting to please others

Contrary to popular belief, it wouldn't.

I don't expect things in return in most cases. I just want the world to give me a break in some certain situations. I do my job, cause i enjoy helping others and don't expect anything in return. I do voluntary work cause I wanna help kids play sport. I don't want anything for that. This thread was kind of just a rant anyway, I needed to vent. I wish I had my boxing bag up still :? I don't want that much from the world, I get pleasure from the simple or little things in life. I've prepared myself to go it alone in my quest to succeed. But sometimes i'd just like a little bit of slack ya know?

I whole heartedly agree with what benjimanbreeg has said.
I have spent most of my life instinctively thinking of others before myself, and yet nothing good seems to have come of it. I dont want a reward for my good deeds, just a bit of positive karma would be nice instead of the constant struggle to achieve even the most basic of happiness. I have watched others who think nothing of stepping on those around them be given opportunities and successes. On the other side, I willingly give my time and effort when required, I have never stolen or deliberately injured, I always give everything I have. Yet I am always the one overlooked, forgotten, ignored, neglected, etc.
Despite becoming increasingly bitter and resentful towards life in general, I cant help but follow my nature, which is to help people with no or little thought of my own gain.
In a selfish greedy world, I was raised to be a good person. Every now and then I wonder if I am alone.

Well your not alone. If I take care of the UK, can you do Australia? :wink: Just today at work opened my eyes even more, to just how selfish and pathetic people can be. I'm not going to change my nature either. I'm just gonna give more time to the people that deserve a helping hand.

I admire your attitude. Just today commuting to work, some ignorant gave my AS child the look, as my child was struggling to stand still during the ride. My child brushed this person a few times which resulting in more stares. My child is 2 yrs 8 mths.

So I walked over and rammed the bastard out of the way of my child. I stood there and eyed him to say I am his father and why don't you pick someone your own size. Piss off and die you piece of scum.

I was not surprised by the cowardly act of this NT, as he trudged off and couldn't face someone his own size.

I am not bitter. But bastards need to be put in their place. Be nice to your family and those worth your kindness. Be a guardian angel to your loved ones. Be a demon to those that despise you and the weak.

I definitely understand what you are saying and I totally understand where you are coming from. But you have to realize you have to look out for yourself before you look out for anyone else (other than your family). I used to only care about the needs of others and I got walked on.. I was a major doormat. People would immediately take advantage of that and I would be hurt, then I would be resentful.. I was a martyr. Not a way to be. Yes, be kind but only on your terms! You have to look out for yourself before you look out for anyone else!! You have to look out for your own needs and get them met before anyone else! If you do that, you may find that things for you will improve and you will be attracting positive people. I am working on that and it takes a lot of work and time but the rewards will be nice.

Exactly. If you can't defend yourself, how can you defend your loved ones?
