To be honest man I’m going through that exact thing and I only find kindness from a few people and also some people on the site…
I wish…hope for someone to help me in my suffering but most of the world just doesn’t carel lol this has been really hard for me to come to terms with…that a person can suffer Soo deeply and nobody cares.
I agree with you that we have to stand but bro… Some times a brotha needs some help too.
I’m going through today (emotions ) and I was just about to get upset and start to ruminate about how people are horrible to me and start complaining but instead I turned my headphones off set on the bed and just rubbed my forearm with kindness and true compassion for myself…
Guess what happened…tears man! I think the anger response is covering up the massive hurt from feeling mistreated Soo often. It’s been so long since I cried I didn’t think I still had it in me but the anger is hiding my true feelings.
■■■■■■up part is… No matter how much I need compassion I think ultimately I do have to stand in my own to feet and be kind to myself…

I thought you subscribed to Buddhist ideas of no self and love and kindness mat?? Begging for help isn’t something wrong…being fair we all go through and love and compassion is exactly what is needed in moments of suffering among other things

I am not a Buddhist! @AKendrick
I have realised the only person that can and will help me is myself…
There is no one coming to help. i am a beacon to myself.
That does not necessarily mean i feel no compassion for others.
I am sad that you feel low and shed tears. Sometimes it is necessary to do that. Showing compassion to yourself is key to good mental health.
I used to wish a lot, begging the universe to improve my lot.
It is to no avail…
Oh ok… I misunderstood you man. Ive has the same experience man. I also beg God/universe and the suffering is relentless. I feel like one day if humanity doesn’t kill it’s self we will find better ways of taking care of the suffering/problems in the world. It’s what I really hold to…the fact that humanity can and will change. If change wasn’t possible I would u be hopeless…
Sorry man… I misunderstand people very often
