Theres a saying that goes something like ‘you gotta earn respect’. Well i say thats bs. I think respect should be the automatic default between people. And to having received disrespect, that should be earned.
But yeah i know what you mean. Im like that sometimes. I guess for me its because i have social anxiety and dont want to interact with anyone in passing out and about.
I can understand bitterness, but you should let it be a passing thought. And think of the big picture.
In my country of 6 million inhabitants, close to 800 000 are registered with social services having some sort of disability. That’s not counting people who have retired and receive a pension.
So I guess what this means is life is a struggle for so many. Maybe that’s not what we see in social media etc, but that’s the real reality behind the smoke and mirrors.
