Most of them are not humble at all. They take life for granted. I told a lady at the local mental health place I thought I was Jesus and I wanted to be a writer because I wanted to “make an impact…and help people” and she said to me “You mean you want to make an impact…not help people.” As if that was a terrible thing to say. People with millions consider anything less than millions the wrong thing to do. Like if 100,000 isn’t enough to live. Does anyone else get piss off from this? I grew up in an upper middle class family/town and I always considered myself lucky…but I was never a “normie”, but most “normies” take everything for granted. FuKin life. Do you feel what I’m saying?
As if god likes them more because they gave them great mental health, etc… and they deserve it. And should reap the total benefits of it all. When in reality everybody is equal. That’s how I feel.

I relate a lot…that’s why I wrote a thread about normies…
Yeah man… People got no clue.
Everyone should be treated equally, but unfortunately we are not all created the same. Everyone has weaknesses, it’s best to work together.
I don’t think it’s fair to make that generalization. People without mental illness still struggle. Everyone has their battles. Just because there are people that don’t experience what we do doesn’t mean that every single one of them take life for granted. You can’t judge someone else until you’ve walked in their shoes. A lot of people have gotten very good at hiding their struggles.

I think the only worse struggle other than this severe illness, is deadly illnesses, death in general and tortures, like conceived by thieves or get raped, but these are a small percentage. Most people live with their families, have some money to live and love. I also forgot about homeless people, they suffer too. But anyway, we have among the worst tortures a man/woman can get.

Turningthepage, I think that wasn’t right that that lady assumed that you didn’t really want to help people. It probably was in earnest. I’ve recently thought of compiling my thoughts into a book. There’s a part of me that wants to make an impact, to bolster my ego, but there’s a part of me that truly wants my writings to help other people.
I do get frustrated. I do believe that normies tend to take some things for granted, such as the ability to sleep normally, without drugs. Also, they would frequently take proper brain function for granted too. People with bigger problems focus on the bigger problems. People with relatively less alarming problems will simply focus on those.
I guess I’d rather have all this s*** than cancer. It’s all relative. Whatever a person’s biggest problem is is what is going to preoccupate that person.

I used to struggle somewhat in vain. Once I was arrested and took a drug class and they were all telling me I was Jesus (i’m not sure if this was a delusion or if they were just trying to help boolster my ego, because I was lacking self-confidence, or what), but I was under the impression I was going to be a billionaire one day, and I would donate 95% of it to charity. Then it changed to just wanting to be heard to help the world. There was a time I really felt empathy for people and still do. A time I heard an owl in the woods and felt the owls pain and gained empathy for every living creature and then worked my way up to humanism from animal empathy and thought about all the people in third world countries, ghettos, etc… I wanted power, but I wanted to use that power for good. I became liberal. Now I think the worlds not that bad all things considered, but there’s still a lot of greed at the top. But our leaders and commonfolk are doing a good job of sending us in the right direction. Nothing will ever be perfect, but it may improve…it may get worse. But oh well, it’s only life for me. and come time for death I believe every good person will find paradise. And there is more good than bad…maybe so. Idk.

I think maybe some of the treatments especially for diseases like cancer and other illnesses are worse than death. Sometimes, the suffering of the severely mentally ill seems worse than death. I am not advocating giving the strong life survival force that exists in all. I am definitely not advocating suicide for any illness or situation as a solution. However, a point can be made that none of us will get out alive. I am advocating a perspective. Right now in the twenty-first century, many treatments are so much worse than the disease and sometimes lead to death. Modern medical science needs to seek out treatments for these diseases that alleviate the suffering rather than cause worse suffering and death. I saw that with my late sister who suffered from cancer and I have been down that road myself. When medicine stops being concerned with egos, power, control, and making money and goes to their old way of thinking (Remember the Hippocratic oath} we will all know peace, health and well-being.
I think lots of normal people are just not smart or motivated or both.

Dude for me its all jealousy… these people are living the life. If I could slip out of this psychosis I’d have no problems at all internally.
I don’t really think they are bad people. I might say ignorant or lucky depending on the person.
Most all of my friends are still doing drugs when they can.
What did one say to me?
“You were always kind of out there.”
They can be real ■■■■ bags.

Read your original post…
I dont hate them. Im just frustrated with life. They dont really understand yet avoiding them is impossible if I want my life to move forward at all.
I feel what your saying,some people just take advantage of more simple minded/submissive people,I was trying to buy some food at the hospital seven eleven store and I always get nervous when buying stuff at certain place,so the store woman there seems to not like me,I think I should not buy from there if it’s not necessary

I used to get nervous buying stuff. Still kind of do due to apparent mind reader messages. More nervous about the mind than the physical self.

One of my friends said something along those lines.
I’ll say this though. Most normal people complain about each other as well. They constant imagine how stupid the people they don’t know are. The frat and sorority crowd take a bad rap in my town.
We lump all of the together and say they don’t have empathy for us. Even though in most cases we can still empathize with them.
They do this to themselves as well though. It is a natural tendency not exclusive to those who suffer.
The thing that bothers me most about mental illness is the stigma that it’s our faults.
Secondly is that we are often portrayed as a risk group.
At least in my case sz has totally stopped me from doing illegal drugs. It pains me to see others use because I know what they are risking.
Many of them though are much simpler than I ever was. Really annoying to have such a grasp on that now.
But yeah everyone has that grow in their worldview that they are just like those stupid ■■■■■. The jocks do it to the druggies. The rich to the poor. Vise versa in both those cases.
It’s not a good human tendency, but it does seem natural.
If the world were financially equalized, all skin tones blended, all people created equal there would still probably be some kind of division where people would do this.
The worlds a chaotic place.
Maybe you need to take life for granted if you want to live it. Pondering about it and being grateful and all is nice, but it comes in moments of reflection, and reflection is only secondary. Whenever I’m actually, unreflectively living then i take for granted life itself. It follows that not taking it for granted prevents you from actually living it.
