Venting When did you guys realise nobody gives a shit?

[gimpyfairy]

It took me a while but I finally get it.
Nobody gives a shit until you die and end up on the news
My family does not give a shit, my friends do not give a shit, no one does
I've never been more surrounded by people, and I've never felt less cared for.

This one is hard. I told my work supervisor about my issue at home and the way I have been treated and she cried, also she spent 2 hours trying to convince to go into hospital. But at other points in my life my family, and various other medical professionals have completely kicked when i have been down in life. I guess i do believe some people are good, it's just unfortunate that I haven't come across them often

I think that was maybe about half a year ago. I was with people and tried to slowly open up and talk about me not being well mentally. They simply changed the topic about what game to play next. That was a hard punch in the stomach. It is hard to find people who care, but if you find them, hold them close.

I sadly don't remember the age when I realized this, all I know is that it was many, many years ago.

I think part of me always knew this but I purposefully prevented myself from making friends for years, and now that I've made a few and their complete lack of care just made me remember it again.

I know that feeling. Thanks to the universe, I haven't felt that way recently, but I still feel unworthy.

I think what hurts the most for me is knowing people care but only to the extent in which it'll affect them.

Can you elaborate on that? Do you mean that people only will care when it has negative consequences for them?

That's so real. Every time I openened up about how much I want to die, the discussion always became "Have you considered how I would feel about it? I would be devasted! What would our neighbours think? You're being really selfish for saying this. Are you trying to hurt me?" ect.

I think people give a shit but only because they're conditioned to. Like they don't really give a fuck but you killing yourself makes them look bad. That's what they care about

I live in a pretty dysfunctional family. So it really hit when I used to cry in my room, and everyone would be around me, and nobody would even acknowledge it, nor care.

but when my siblings cried I was the one they spewed their thoughts onto, and I always listened, tried to help. but they never cared for me.

recently I opened up about my suicidal thoughts to my ex girlfriend and got called selfish as well. so here's that. feels like everyone around me couldn't give less of a fuck.
