Family, lovers, friends, strangers... it feels like everyone I ever meet finds a way to hurt me to the core.

I just think that overall, other people cannot be relied on, I certainly view humans in general as being disappointing, it's dreadful to me how so many humans just create even more suffering.

It's because animals are selfish by nature. And humans are animals in a sense. People can try to deny it, but at the end of the day it all comes down to survival.

Pets are a good example. You feed them, they love you. But if you dropped dead one day without anyone knowing.... and your pet doesn't get fed, guess what they eat next.

A lot of us put expectations on people that they don't know we've put on them. People will always disappoint us because we will always expect more from them than they can ever know. I think it's just the way of the world.

I never thought about it like that. I think I'd be scared if anyone told me all they expect of me.

You reminded me of my therapist, which I dropped after the first meeting. Came to her to help me with my panic disorder and agoraphobia, next thing she does is trying to sign me up for cognitive behavioural therapy 10 miles from my home. Nah, thanks.

I realised the only one who can help you, is yourself. With knowledge from the internet or books or from people with similar experiences. That's it. Not some strangers who don't care about you and don't understand how you feel.

I have to heal myself from all the hurt people inflicted on me? Some bullshit. This is great advice though, thank you! I do see a therapist and she is not the best at helping either. I've never had a helpful therapist. I've never understood people who get attached to their therapists either... they are there just to listen to me for an hour, and getting paid for it. It's the most ingenuine job in the world.

I've met drug dealers with more compassion than therapists.
