I have since come to not like people very much. I think they are chillingly cold hearted, stupid, and immoral. As much as it bothers me what they do, it bothers me that I don't like them. It's not that I feel superior, but I do feel judgemental and righteous (which makes no sense, because I know damn well that I'm not perfect) but I am not interested in befriending them--which is pretty harsh.
Like I said, MOST people do this, so I'm not going to say what it is, I don't need nor want hate responses. I'm truly looking for a sincere advice as to not feel this way towards people.

Yes it is depressing, but this is not chemical. By "this" I mean that "something" it is a condition of the world. I can't change it. So I don't see what going to a counselor could do. They probably do it too! This is a sorrow I HAVE to live with. Good days are when I don't think about it, ha,ha, since it is EVERYWHERE and going on EVERYWHERE.

This is not something I do, so it can not be something I hate within myself.

2 Timothy 3:1 "But know this, that in the last days critical times hard to deal with will be here. 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, self-assuming, haughty, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, disloyal, 3 having no natural affection, not open to any agreement, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, without love of goodness, 4 betrayers, headstrong, puffed up [with pride], lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God, 5 having a form of godly devotion but proving false to its power; and from these turn away. "

I too am often discouraged by the behavior of others. For me studying the Bible has been a huge help. It has answered my questions about why we live in the conditions we do and what our hope for the future is.

Psalms 37:11 "But the meek ones themselves will possess the earth, and they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace."

Revelation 21:4 "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.

If you'd like to discuss world conditions further please don't hesitate to email me. We are undoubtedly living in critical times hard to deal with, and we can easily become overwhelmed and lose our sense of compassion towards others. Please take care.

I know what a crisis you are undergoing. It is called alienation. Been through it myself and it is a terrible feeling. Allow me to help.

It also means that you are very likely undergoing a severe depression when the whole world seems to be weighing upon you like a massive press.

Some depression can be cyclical but also biochemical. It can be a short time or it can be a long time. In your case I don't know.

Depression also means sometimes we see in other people that which we most hate in ourselves. And its a downward spiral for a long time. Oh it feels like such a long time.

The problem with depression is that it is sneaky. We all go through our highs and lows. Everything and everyone seems so dark, black and cold like a winter night.

I don't know what your financial or insurance situation is. I believe you are suffering from an early onset of depression. I can tell by the structure of your question.

What I get the sense is that you really don't want to feel that way. And you used to think differently. And you know this. Having experienced this myself, let me tell you that it will be other people who are going to help you feel better tomorrow.

You are not insane. You are not that unusual. This occurs and most people simply need someone to tell and get it off your chest. There is relief in this. And understand one thing, you are not alone okay.

So tomorrow consider going to a counselor about depression. Or see a family doctor about your concerns. Print out your question and if you need my answer. Get back to me in a year if you do go seek some counseling for depression.

I did. It does work. Love you. Take care.

It sounds like you are having trouble accepting a truth of the world, if most people do this thing. It could be that you are wishing so hard that they wouldn't do it that you cannot accept that people will ALWAYS do it, no matter how you feel about it. Try to understand why they do it, what failing it points out to you, and how you can forgive them for what they do. Realize that people are not perfect, but many of them are trying. You need to work on accepting people as they are, not as you wish them to be. Then apply your own standards as to whether you wish to know a particular person or not. But do not waste a lot of energy trying to change people, even in your mind. If you can, find a way you can work to better the situation, but accept that you won't be able to change it on your own. You'll always have to have some contact with people, so you should examine your feelings in depth.

Also, just because it is something you do not do, this doesn't mean that you do not have a part in it. If you can't accept something and you cannot change others, then you have an emotional problem within yourself caused by your reaction to others. You cannot change others, but you seem like you wish to understand yourself. Accept that part of the problem could be your attitude toward others, and that if this thing is a socially acceptable action but is unacceptable to you, that you may be unfairly judging others according to your own standards. Try not to become intolerant towards others, but do adhere to your own standards. Just don't think that others will change just because you want them to, but do set a good example, so that the worthy ones in your eyes will follow it.

Agreed. however the priority isn't what it was once. we've entered an age the place it particularly is going to frequently "restoration" itself if we permit issues be. even nevertheless, some persons make a residing with the priority. those persons hearth up the nest each and every so often. The "stir the nest" crowd on occasion properly-knownshows demons the place non particularly exist. they are going to on occasion turn a risk loose and harmless come across right into a racial episode. So, specific, it saddens me and sickens me. yet it particularly is now not looking in basic terms at some yahoo's that do unlike blacks. we are actually coping with knowledgeable propagandists who're out to make a greenback interior the call of equality.

There are alot of things that bother me also about people.(pet peeves I guess you could say)
But for me, I will befriend anyone regardless of this. People have feelings and those feelings can get hurt just like yours or mine. Human Nature is a funny thing when you step away from yourself and analyze people and their doings. But, do I do things that tick people off?...Probably, and I don't even realize it, because no one has came to me and said "Why do you do that or say that or feel that way", so I go on with my life like I do until things are pointed out to me.(But I do my best in life to not hurt anyone, because I do not want anyone to hurt me)

Let the water flow off your back the way the water flows off a ducks back, and breath
everyone has a Pet Peeve

Going to church would probably makes things even worse for you. However, if you really want some some sincere advice:

Read the exact quotes of Jesus. Then be born again into a new personality with a new justice system. Specifically, a justice system that includes that you have no right to judge others or to hold a grudge against others. Your reward: The Holy Spirit will witness to you that with your new personality you will go to Heaven. ---- Be all alone, and at least a mile away from any church building when you try the above experiment.

Two good places to start reading about good things that people do instead of always hearing about the bad:

http://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/

http://www.happynews.com/

As for the bitterness in your soul... that's a tough one. In my experience, getting out there and actually doing something positive for someone else helps when I'm feeling particulary grinchy about humanity as a whole.

Want an easy way to start? Try this:

http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com/clickToGive/home.faces?siteId=3

"The Animal Rescue Site focuses the power of the Internet on a specific need — providing food for some of the 27 million unwanted animals given to shelters in the U.S. every year. Over 10 million animals are put to death every year in the U.S. alone because they are abandoned and unwanted.

Each click on the purple "Fund Food for Animals" button at The Animal Rescue Site provides food and care for a rescued animal living in a shelter or sanctuary. Funding for food and care is paid by site sponsors and distributed to animals in need at the Fund for Animals' renowned animal sanctuaries (including Cleveland Amory Black Beauty Ranch in Texas and the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center in California), pet shelters supported by the Petfinder Foundation, North Shore Animal League, and other worthy animal care facilities supported by the GreaterGood.org foundation."

Seriously, good luck in purging the anger and prejudice from your soul. The first step is recognizing that you have a problem in the first place, and you've already taken that step.

We have free Will and have misused it as if God does not see or hear. You are right but we were not put on this planet to judge.
It is at this time that you hear these words and try to understand them. You should strive to be Christ like instead of Christian.
We are only people, seemingly lost and vanished but still the same, we are here. It must be that we are here our to learn lessons, while visiting planet school.

Well, there are some really cold hearted and stupid people in this world. I'm not sure why you would let those people dictate how you see all people though. There are many beautiful, kind and caring people in this world as well. Maybe you need to open your eyes to that diversity.
