Question

like whoa oh no this is my life,how far have i gotten ,what did i achieve,when will it stop.

i have had a severe reality checks or a mid life crisis...hmm?
maybe alot of tragedies in my life that i thought where too crazy as in a dramafied movie...

i am not who i want to be i still struggle socially at work ,but have gotten a promotion since then.

i view the world like a movie the good the bad and the ugly and those i see that i dont want any part of,i dont really judge,i just know..and i do treat all with respect.

but as you know the world is filled with mean,ignorant people who have no regards to others feelings or hopes

i feel like im one of the few people who think this way and i do feel extremely different from others.

can anyone relate to muah?.

Answer 1

My biggest check came when (in Desert Storm) the crapola hit the fan and the tanks behind us (as insurance) heard the commotion, dropped their gear and headed south. The Lt. called us all together and told us that if our position were to get over run, we were to fight and then try and head south 20 clicks, wait 20 minutes to see if anyone else showed and then go another 20 clicks. We got over run, but I never drove south. It was, a very, very long night.

Answer 2

Yeah, somebody gave me a reality check once. It bounced.

I can relate you you Darling. I'm going through upheavals myself. I don't like where my career is even though I've had a promotion. I've hated it really so I'm making a move to do something different tomorrow.

Yes, I've had my tragedies but we all do so I don't feel picked on. There are those in this world that have had it far worse than I.

Thumbs down? Nevermind then.

Answer 3

Are you asking if anyone else thinks there are mean and ignorant people in the world and others are unhappy about their station in life? Nooooo I'm pretty sure you're the only one in this entire world made up of billions of people. The life on earth is not a western movie from 30 years ago...There are not 3 classes of people : Good, bad, ugly...there are just people and people are all different shades of grey. There are good people who do bad things, bad people who do good things and everything else in between. There are very few black and white people in this world...I'd consider a child rapist to be a "black" person...someone truely evil...I'd consider someone who works their entire life in an orphanage in Siberia to be a "white" person, someone who is exceptionally good...but those are extremes...most people aren't that, they are all different shades.....Of course everyone has had some form of reflection on their life, everyone evaluates their current life, it's how we identify and solve problems and recognize progression and all that other stuff...that we need to do to mature as people....it's one way how people grow....And everyone makes judgements, I don't care how much you proclaim otherwise, you judge others because we have to, it's how we assess people, and it's not necessarily a "bad" thing....You're walking down a street by yourself, you see a man that looks like he may be following you, he looks rough and you speed up...you are judgeing him, not because you're being a snob, but because you may be in a dangerous situation, when in reality, he's just going down the same street as you and he's poor...if he were wearing a suit, I doubt most people would be suspicious...to judge is to be human and that isn't wrong...anyway you shouldn't feel alienated, because people aren't all that different from one another, we all the same basic needs in life and no experiance is unique in itself, someone somewhere has shared the same feelings and experiances with you....you aren't the only one who feels this way or thinks this way, there are people before you and after you, frankly you shouldn't think of yourself as being that much different from others, because you aren't, no one is....in some way or another, we are all alike.

Answer 4
