I am continually disappointed with the behaviour of people around me. Am I the only one? So many situations in the last 2-3 weeks particularly where I either removed an old friend from my facebook, another from a different social media or had to address the behaviour in a conversation where poor excuses are given. Even to a mum friend where her child completely rules and is taught no social skills ignoring my child completely not so much as an aknowlgement over a month of weekly seeing them. And a friend who I paid for her business services and she never delivered. I know we are all human and flawed but this stuff is so basic I am just perplexed how people live their lives this way. I am questioning myself today will I end
up with no friends? 😬
Right there with you.
I've found myself loudly asking, "What is wrong with people!?" so often these days that I've become a hermit. Better to be alone than with shitheads, though.
Yes, absolutely. I’ve never experienced such frustration and disappointment in so many people. Some of my family—who I never have issues with—to a friend, my partner who I broke up with, my ex-husband. I’m just tired of people. I want to go to a desert island and lay in a hammock for a month and not speak to anyone. 😫
I think... this is the after-effects of FDS.
Our standards for ourselves and the people around us are higher now. My threshold for BS--disordered people, pickmes, entitled jerks, you name it--is at the lowest level it's ever been. And rightly so. I just can't deal with them anymore.
I don't have any good advice as I'm struggling with this myself. But know that you're not alone. 💖
Yes. I'm finding it harder to be at work around my coworkers. I've been in a bubble the last couple years+ and it's been really nice. I find myself wanting to be in my own world more after being in the office full-time. I also feel an intense feeling of not belonging.
I totally get where you're coming from OP. I feel we live in a very individualistic society where many people think only in terms of their wants and needs and never stop to consider how their actions impact on other people. These people take their family and friends for granted and just assume that they'll put up with ill treatment or being ignored forever. I suppose you could call it "Main Character Syndrome" where the rest of us are just NPCs (non player characters) to them. We're only of interest to them insofar as we are of use to them. I don't really know what the solution is other than to cut off people who treat you badly.
No, you are not alone at all. Hugs to you.
No, I completely relate . Tbh, I just did a hard reset and I'm starting completely fresh because I'd rather be alone, or with my dog, than be surrounded by a bunch of people I don't relate to at all. It's draining to be around shitty people.
