What the Hell is Wrong With Everyone?

[antimatter]

this is pretty long...

In the last 8 months or so ive really started to notice people treat each other like shit and do horrible things constantly. i dont understand how anyone could just have random sex with people they'll never see again, lie to everyone or hurt themselves with drugs. thats just a few examples.

I would feel horrible an my conscience would bother me forever if i did anything like that. maybe i think to much about what i do or maybe its just that i actually THINK BEFORE I DO IT. Everyone including my best friends let me down all the time. i feel like im the only one who cares anymore about being a good person. most of my friends are a year or 2 younger than me. it could just be a phase but i never went through that. i keep hearing everyone has to make mistakes but i dont understand why when they usually know its a fucked up thing to be doing.

Theres really no major things i regret doing besides maybe being too harsh on people when they fuck up. i feel like im the one that has to keep my friends in line and im starting to not care because im tired of being disappointed in people.

am i just overly moral or what?

[jwelborn]

Yes, you care too much. And you really can't see how people have random sex?

[antimatter]

no, it actually makes me sick.
i prbly have some issues with that but i still dont think its right.

[notoaststereo]

welcome to the world?

[antimatter]

thanks.
its a wonderful place and i love it more each day.

[vixsummer]

You have to stop focusing on what other people are doing and worry about yourself. You can't control people. What's right for you, isn't always right for someone else. Of course it's going to be a bleak picture if you look at the world as a place where everyone's high and banging willy-nilly and being terrible to each other. Step away from that and make your own situation better. Oh and for your friends - they might be younger than you, but you're not their parent. Don't worry about 'keeping them in line'. If they're 18/19, they need to fuck around to figure their own shit out. Go volunteer for something, keep being a good person.

I think you could lump me into the "overly moral" category as well. Everything is relative, of course, but relatively speaking, I've only had a few transgressions. Like everyone else, I tend to judge myself based on the actions of others. People who engage in permiscuous sex disgust me as well, so you're not alone. I've only had sex with one girl, and she's the one I'm currently dating. To be fair, though, I messed around with a girl I wasn't interested in as more than a friend once. Is that a double-standard? Maybe. I have no regrets about it, though. I consider myself a good person, and I try to treat everyone well. So, compared to a majority of people out there, and depending on your morals, I'm in relatively good moral standing. I'm still pretty judgemental (especially of heavy drinkers and people that are permiscuous), but I used to be much more-so. My advice to you: stop expecting so much out of the general public. They'll disappoint you a majority of the time. I'm not saying you shouldn't have higher expectations of your friends and definitely your significant other, but you'll be a much happier person if you aren't so judgemental of the general public, and you'll be less cynical and unhappy.

[pilot_light_out]

drugs don't hurt me. im sorry if they hurt you. maybe you should be nicer to them and they will love you.


you know that it is just silly to take anything too seriously. breathe man.

[ellastasia]

the longer you live, the more shit you see, it's just life and you have two choices--well, three, actually. 1: ignorance is bliss; 2: let it eat at you; 3: worry about your own problems, pick and choose your company wisely, be courteous and be firm in your opinions. Life sucks but it's what you make of it. I believe in karma, and everyone will get their's eventually (as well as ours ha--nobody's perfect)

You were probably raised in an overly-religious enviornment. You are ignorant to the fact that your morals aren't the only ones that exist. I personally don't want to have sex with a massive amount of random people, I don't look down on it though. I don't want to for medical reasons and because I honestly feel it should be done with someone who means something to you whether or not love is just a chemical reaction.

Doing drugs isn't really morally wrong either. I've smoked my fair share of the buddah. I am not a horrible person, at least in most people's eyes. I thrive on helping people. Just because you have sex, do drugs or say mean things, that doesn't make you a bad person. I've done everything in that list and I'd say I'm regarded as a pretty decent kid.

[cuetheflames]

chill out dude. the whole world isnt like it is on everybody loves raymond.

you only live once get out there and do something your parents dont want you to.

nicely said.

[Roboman]

I can somewhat understand your viewpoint, as I used to be more uptight about things like that. A year and a half ago I thought that drinking was fucking stupid...now I'm completely cool with it and engage in it occasionally myself. I don't understand doing it all the time, or smoking pot every day like my roommate does, though. I would rather have sex with just one person if possible, but I wouldn't completely rule out "flings" or whatever. Anyway, my point is: get over it. Yes, the world sucks; try to change it if you feel so strongly. That probably won't work though, so you're just going to have to deal with it.

[cuetheflames]

oh ya and change your picture.

[crusedhopper]

As long as you live true to yourself... and you live by your own rules, amibitions, morals, and dreams, then don't even worry about all the things in this world that irk ya. Everyone is raised different, everyone sees the world differently and we all have different views on what the purpose of life is. You can't change that, but you can tolerate/accept it, and just go out into the world to find and circle youself with people who have the same thoughts, views, and lifestlye as you!

good point.

and yes, that is the most important thing. being true to yourself. do what you want and think what you want.

but seriously bro (antimatter) your accomplishing nothing for yourself and for anyone else accepting you and your beliefs by bitching about other people. they will live their lives and you can live yours. i could bitch about you being a pussy and not wanting to try anything fun? but ill respect how you wanna live. its the same with some straight edge kids who think they are all high and mighty and try and pep talk everyone about how they shouldnt do this and that. its fucking bull.

[popdisaster00]

Humans suck, I'm with you on that - but I would definitely have casual sex if I was in the position to.

100% agreed. Experimenting with booze, sex, and drugs is definitely not entirely wrong, especially at a young age. If anything I think it's beneficial, better to get it out of your system at a young age then let it out when your middle aged and have a family. Plus, a study a year ago showed that people who drink are more successful than those that don't.

i was brought up around religion in my town but my family isnt religious and i personally hate all religion but i agree with the morality of it.

i do drink occasionally and ive been around drugs my whole life and i know too well how they can fuck you up and im not gonna risk anything. also, i wanna keep sex as something meaningful and i dont think i could if i "experimented"

Fair enough and I don't mean to knock you or be rude. I go to school in the South and I've run across people on both sides of the spectrum. Each side has their flaws and representatives that are both decent and not.

Wrong. I am held in the same esteem as greek gods.

haha welcome to the internet. its easy to be an ass sitting at a screen. you just have to laugh it off and assume they aren't actually a terrible person. there are plenty of generaly positive people on here. you cant argue with every person who says something... thats just the way it goes.

I used to feel, and in some ways still do, similar to what you described in your original post. I've definitely learned to loosen up a bit, but I know exactly what you mean. I still am in disbelief to some of the crap I see people around me doing, but you just have to do what makes you feel right. You just sort of have to allign yourself with fairly like minded people, but avoid the "us vs them" mentality. People are different in such complex ways its hard to know why some people do what they do, but they aren't you, and you can't judge people too harshly. There are no definitive rules when it comes to the sort of things you described, people have got to work themselves out to an extent. its cool to have some standards, but you cant hold the world to them.

[SonEric84]

I know how you feel. I can't stand how stupid people are and find it hard to meet anyone I can relate to because it seems like everyone is only interested in taking part in dumb shit. It seems like everyone is so careless and I just can't understand it I guess. It also bugs me how as soon as someone says something about morals religion gets brought into it, yes I realize morals and religion usually go hand in hand, but I have my own morals and religion has nothing to do with it. Unfortunately you can't control the actions of others, even when it's those you care about...so I guess you just have to keep sticking to your beliefs...though it does get pretty lonely.

Yeah, it's just that I usually have a lot of respect for girls and I guess I don't expect that kind of stuff from them (not saying that I think it's okay for guys to be total horn-dogs, cause I don't.), but I should because it's a lot more common than it used to be I suppose.


And yes, yes they do.

i agree with what you're saying... the world is a fucked up place... and i don't know, i feel disgusted with a lot of what i see/hear and i guess i just have to learn to deal with it? because i'm sure it's only going to get worse with time haha

[immorehxcthanu]

It's self-defeating to feel that way. Sure, I have days where I feel like I've lost all faith in humanity but I think that feeling makes me strive to be a better person. Sometimes friends treat friends shitty, but it doesn't always mean they don't want to be friends with you anymore. Sometimes there is a much bigger picture to things like that and there might be some secrets.
