Unfortunately, this has proved to be true so far in my life...

Yah sadly me as well. But I always try to keep hoping...
I can't let the last thing I'm holding onto slip away. There are still good people...

Well that's a grim outlook

It isn't grim or pessimistic or anything negative , it's reality. Connect with reality and you will be a lot less frustrated in life. This Pollyanna idea that people are your friends is delusional. Nobody really cares. They have their own life and problems. You aren't going to stay up till the wee hours of the morning discussing intimate details of your life with anyone or running like Sir Galahad to anyone's rescue and they aren't going to do any of that for you. The sooner you realize that people are fickle and unreliable the better. You can talk to people and temporarily enjoy their company but that's as far as it ever goes. Good luck with that friend idea.

If I connect to that reality I would be dead

No. You will be happy. Be comfortable in your own skin , like they say , live in your head and realize that everyone you meet is some sort of monster that you should run from.

That's sad

That's sad

It is... It really is. And a person with that thinking has been hurt a lot in their life. Keep that in mind.
I'm so sorry @Back in the fold for whatever caused that thinking... It's a sad way to live

When you are older you will know. People will always disappoint you. Some just mildly so and others will leave you wounded.

Then they've been scarred so much they feel nothing to the point they think they are happy....

This has been a really bad day for me and this conversation is only making it worse

@Rocky998 I used to feel hurt until I wised up. I'm very happy knowing that I'm a little fish in a tank full of predators. When I thought the predators were friendly and found out they weren't then the veil of ignorance dropped and I could get on with being me. Life is good .

I'm so so so sorry!
Really hope the day gets better betta...
We all have bad days and it can be hard to get through them but just keep going!
I can't tell you how to make days like these better cause I haven't found the answer either but I promise that the feelings you have now will fade. They may come back again but they fade again as well.
Just hope and pray for more good days

I'm sorry to have been a bummer. I certainly do not want to be that guy that goes around being a wet blanket. Just relating my reality.

That is just a defensive shield gone too far though,, and I'll be honest I have one to. It's hard for me to actually become attached to someone. But I know that when I like someone, I really like them. I don't trust a lot of the time when it comes to meeting people in person. I can also be very gullible sadly sometimes as well. But I try to be somewhere in the middle.
