Lately, constantly meeting cold, insensitive(lacking respect) has really put me down. They make me feel so weak.

I know what you mean, caring about other people without receiving any acknowledgement of that from them is so draining. And when all you seem to get is disrespect in return, it make you wonder why you bother to consider their feelings, when they so obviously don't consider yours.

Hi hon,
You shouldn't feel weak at all, if anything being a caring person makes you stronger! I always try to look out and care for others, and if I meet people that are cold and insensitive, I find comfort in the fact that I have made a contribution and they have not.

You are not the only person who is caring. We are millions but we have not realized yet that we need to get together as a unit yet.
When you meet those kind of people they feel that you are in your middle and are unknowingly reacting negative because they feel they are not in their middle. You are sending out positive signals and they are trying to get at that energy. They want to bring you down to their unhappy level.
Keep positive thoughts around you and they wont be able to pull it from you. If you let them bring you down you will start to be uncaring and they will have won. You have to beleave that you will find your place in life where you can use your caring side, if that is what you want.
Remeber that there are different kinds of humans running around on this planet. Some are just simple, using others to make them feel better by putting them down, instead of solving their real problem which lays in everybody.
You can see alot of caring people on yahoo clever. Look at the parenting questions and answers. Some people are really interested and put alot of thought into their answers.
So keep looking and you will see we are millions out their just like you who also get discouraged, but keep going because we really know and feel it could get better.
Good Luck

Oh honey dont feel like that - they are the weak ones. Its a lovely feeling to know that you care for others - you know what they say ? 'What goes around comes around' and one day those cold people will need somebody but no-one will want to know as where you - you have been kind and your kindness will be returned. You just stay lovely as you are xxxxxx

Quite a few people don't even seem to be "alive", they are so cold and cruel, impolite and deliberately disrespectful.
I hear you. However you shouldn't abandon your own values and act in a similar fashion to others, because then you would be as bad as they are.
Value the good things about yourself and take pride that your a good person imo.

It makes me feel slightly sorry for the un-caring ones, because they are missing so much in their life. When you are kind to people, you are rewarded ten-fold. Your kindness pleases them and makes them happy and even grateful it can change a persons life, just one act of kindness. This is even truer these days, when people have come not to expect kindness from another, especially a stranger.

well I don't think one feel it every time.....these are just some moments when you feel that you do some things which others haven't done for someone else ....or you feel that someone else is not doing enough which you would have done......
By the way the original question.......it's just periodic..right now you may be surrounded by people who are not that good to you...so just take a break..visit some old friends...you will definitely feel better

I don't think I'd say that they make me feel WEAK, but they definitely make me sad. I really don't understand why people need to be so mean and hateful.
