I am so disturbed by the world and what’s it’s becoming, but then I see that it’s always been this way.

r/

Everyday I pretend to have connections and care about people but deep down I feel empty . I feel nothing. I create fake ones in my head but they crumble like dust . Deep down I think humanity is disgusting. Not worth the life it has. I feel terrible when I see people suffer but then I ask myself why do we even exist to begin with. Why did something create such an abomination of hate and pain. Perhaps there isn’t an answer but something deep down in me loathes humanity , including myself. What is the point of just endlessly killing each other for a fleeting moment of power. Why do we destroy each other because we disagree? I guess my point is I think humanity deserves to be obliterated. We aren’t worthy of life.

    True. The only real “counter” is to be a good person as often as possible. Give back to the world more than you take from it. Can you imagine where we’d be if everyone were like that? Oh well… at least the few of us can make a small difference, which with luck, may grow/inspire/flourish/spread

    Yeah, i have young kids so I am always kind of on the look out for predators. If feels like there are more than ever. Until you talk to old people. My 60 year old ex was molested by his grandma. His mother who would be 85 was molested by her dad. Just found out my grandma, who would be about 80, was molested by her dad. So the great-grandpa i knew and loved was actually a child molester. I asked my mom why on earth we were allowed around him because my grandma would have protected us at all costs, but apparently she did not even remember until late in life after he died because she blocked it out. It is just terrifying to think the world has literally always been this horrible and we are only now allowed to talk about it

    You are just becoming aware of emptiness, just as you can become aware of fullness. Life has no inherent meaning. You interpreting it as negative and empty meaning is just an indicator of where your awareness is.

    Life is full of beauty and sorrow. Don’t be fooled of an illusion that it’s either black or white. Find your light within. It is only because of your knowing of light that you can feel the contrast of darkness.

    And you’ve done that to yourself. This is why your generation has so many mental disorders. You’re all narcissistic and think everything is about you. You’re self defeating because you’re so incompetent to take on the challenges of the world.

    Go make the world better and stop complaining.

    It’s interesting how perspective shapes your life. You see the world the way you choose to.

    I think everyone feels that way deep down. Unfortunately there’s not many other options besides playing the game if you want to live even a marginally happy life.

    I’ve been there. But here’s the thing.

    The thing is existence. The reason for it, and life, and everything is because there is simply nothing else to do.

    I struggle with whether things matter or not, or what purpose there is for anything…

    Then I think, “Why not?”

    Life sucks, the alternative is void

    If plants are worthy of life despite doing sweet fuck all, I don’t see why humans wouldn’t be.

    And what is it that disgusts you about humanity? Its flawed nature, or its capacity to do good and failure to do so?

    If the problem is our flawed nature, then your argument is that having an imperfect design makes you unworthy (this would also apply to any handicap). If the problem is our failure to do good, that means fixing it is still on the table.

    I have felt similarly for years now. And I would just be agreeing even now, philosophically.

    If EMOTIONALLY you feel terrible… mental health is a problem that can be solved. You can see the world as a terrible place but find some kind of happiness and peace. It’s obviously not the same for everybody, and I’m sure in some cases it’s rather complicated. But nothing in my life philosophy has changed in the last year – what HAS changed is that I started HRT. And just that hormonal shift in my body has made an incredible difference. I see a terrible world but it doesn’t make me feel awful.

    Just wanted to throw that 2 cents out there. The world might be terrible but you don’t have to hate every second that you’re here, and if you do, a professional can probably help.
