Seriously, help

Wow, I haven't been that cynical since my 20's. If people couldn't be anything but shitty, you wouldn't be so frustrated with them. You're angry because most of them CHOOSE to be shitty...but there are innumerable exceptions that you blind yourself to by always assuming the worst. I could enumerate social workers, teachers and volunteers as counterpoints, but I'd rather simply point to your post. You didn't have to offer encouragement to a stranger at no benefit to yourself, but you just did, as you have countless times before. Do you really think you're the only one who cares about others, even a little, at no benefit to themselves?

Looking back isn't much better than looking forward. It's the present that matters, even if its true value is limited to right now.

You've ranted awfully passionately about the way things are. I read anger into that, but I could be wrong.

I've certainly bounced around with respect to my own disposition. At present I'm feeling like the call little center of the universe. Guess my meds are working better than I thought.

My meds are doing wonders to help me deal with today. Speaking of consistency, why do I want to escape something that's already gone, and that according to you I missed the second it ended? In any case, the past doesn't enter into it.

I have issues with hope--in a broad, philosophical sense. Cynicism is by definition limited to disposition towards people. I am hopeless. I am not completely cynical, particularly not when it comes to discrete individuals. Whether you care or not, it's also dangerous to conflate psych meds with street drugs.

Following the consistency theme, if no one cares, and not caring makes people nasty, then we're all nasty and shouldn't care about each other because none of us care about each other so why care? I can throw a wrench in whatever permutation of that reasoning you care to present by pointing out that you may speak for yourself, and you may have the conceit to speak for everyone else except for me. You don't get to project onto me. And I care. "Nobody cares" is something 12 year olds say to hurt other 12 year olds.

As for 5 or 10 years from now--that's future tripping. "Cares" is present tense. Right now I care. The future, like the past, is an abstraction that I suppose much like ourselves exists only as an idea in our minds. (I do have fond recollections of Thanksgivings past, thankfully. I find gratitude a more nourishing meditation than nihilism, even if I don't practice it often or well.)

Modda, you called me out for projecting and then two sentences later proceeded to project on me. Lo the sin of hypocrisy! (And continue to project onto me...and make false assumptions, and lob logical fallacies. I'm done trying to make sense of it at this point, since even you can't make sense of your bullshit when it's shoved back under your nose.)

I'm not interested in pissing contests. I was interested in you acknowledging that you cared enough to chime in. And what have you done? "I don't care I don't care I don't care, I'm not saying that I don't give a shit. Nobody cares, go ahead and care, you can care all you want to, nobody cares." (What was that you said about advice and consistency?)

If you want your words to convey coherent meaning on their own, you'll need to be more thoughtful when you choose them. But hooray! I'm done caring about that.

This from the guy who said I don't speak for anyone yet claims over and over that NOBODY cares. And just who are you trying to convince? I've already explained several good reasons for rejecting that premise, so you're not convincing me. And people secure in their beliefs don't feel the need to endlessly repeat them. So...a verbal tic, perhaps? Like I said, I see no upside to engaging with you. It leads nowhere and the process is tedious. Good thing none of this will be on the test.

Yeah, you can't sense my feelings. Because physics doesn't play favorites. Bemusement and incredulity has given way to disappointment. I attempted to reflect anger because people get out of me what they give. And regardless of what you feel (or don't feel, as the case may be) you do come across to me as bitter, snide and angry. I feel that's a pretty reasonable read. I think that a person who wanted to come across as bitter, snide and angry would have behaved much as you have. If you're not feeling that vibe, that makes 1 of us. And I rather doubt I'm the only one.

That was a poor joke on my part. Sarcasm doesn't come across very well via text. If you'd like to link to the comment we can dissect it properly.

When I say you come across to me as bitter, snide and angry, this isn't a reflection of how I feel about me. If it was, it's how I'd feel about everyone. I've dealt with hundreds of people just here on imgflip, and you stand alone. It's not all I see wherever I look--it's all I see when I look at your recent contributions to the proceedings.

I'd dig up that convo if I gave a shit but you'd evade meaningful discourse so there's no point. You can hurl snarky barbs at my expense just fine without my active involvement.

Well, I have bi-polar depression that's still yet to be fully managed with medication. I'd estimate 2-week cycles, give or take. I'm pretty stable at present. Would you have me stop taking meds and/or kill myself? That seems to be your preference, given your fondness for mocking medication. Just what are you hoping to get out of this little exchange, aside from blowing up OPs notifs with toxic garbage? From both of us, not just you.

Well that's a relief. And now to leave you to your lonely, bored wallowing like I should have yesterday. Let's see if I can learn from the mistake this time.

I always thought Buddhists were psychopaths...still, they recognize that the only constant is change. This too shall pass...so much for consistency.

Yeah modda, you're right. How said a character called Ali Rahmet Fekeli in the turkish soap opera BitterLands, i don't know if you guys know it (in Italy is broadcast everyday with the name of Terra Amara) a person for being happy should find the happiness in the things which he like and not try find happiness in others, cause sometimes we can hurt ourselves cause not all persons are nice with us
