I just don't have the energy to deal with people anymore

I've been like this for a couple of years now. Was always pretty social with a decent network of people, and was wondering what is wrong with me. Deep down I knew it wasn't me.

Now I feel the same as OP and other posters here. Interesting how this is world wide. There is something in the air.

I can vouch for what another poster said about texting rather than talking on the phone. That is appalling as a substitute for normal communication on a regular basis.

We are quickly losing our humanity.

Do you travel with your kids? And how does that work out for everybody?

I find myself more and more wanting to avoid having to go out into public. I find society has become incredible rude, impatient and self-serving. Nobody has manners or courtesy anymore. People talking loudly, talking on the cell phones,self-serving, me-first attitudes. I find that everytime I go somewhere I end up muterring to myself that I have less and less faith in the human race. I really feel myself becoming more and more introverted. People only care about themselves and being entertained No-one seems to care about the stuff that really matters - like the state of our economy, our constitutional rights being taken away from us, how the world is literally teetering on the brink of total collapse and anarchy. People would rather focus on sports and how LeBron James is the best basketball player in the NBA, or how Michael Jordan could still play at 50, or Real Housewives, Kim Kardashian, who wore what at the Grammy's or how Marco Rubio took a sip of water during an interview....no of that matters people! Wake Up!

does ANYONE feel like I do? Do you feel like you just want to drop out and not deal with people anymore?

yes i know exactly what you mean, thats a big part of the reason i am in the situation i am

most people are morons

i thought it was something wrong with me and that im crazy, but i guess it wasnt the case after all

This is 'end-of-times' stuff. Those animals will do the bidding of tptb soon. Their behaviour is a sign that they will be capable of ANYTHING! Once tptb can measure that a high enough percentage of ppl are like this - that's when they'll unleash hell on earth.

Call them zombies or brainwashed it doesn't matter. Whatever they did to them - it worked!

I feel the exact same way OP and have for quite some time.. I look around at the people walking the planet and the majority are selfish, materialistic empty shells that are blind to anything or anyone past the end of their own nose.

I generally feel trapped in my existence, hovering between wanting to fit in with society (I am a social person) and questioning why I am here at all because I just don't fit in.

Anytime in the last couple of years that I have attempted interacting with others I have just felt completely drained and depressed like I had been touched by something evil.

I pretty much keep to myself these days, with my husband for company when he's not working out of town. I don't work outside of the home and have no children so it can feel pretty lonely, but better than the alternative.

Just can't see humanity continuing the path we have been on, and if something were to wipe out the majority of useless eaters, I would be fine with that even if I were among them.

This, until your husband begin to disconnect from you, also...

All we have now is our families, but I'm feeling that we are about to lose them too.

Actually, my husband is completely on the same page as me.. On the other hand I have always felt disconnected from my family. They are the definition of "sheep"

instead of sucumbing to the herd mentality, be the change that you want to see, there are still alot of great people out there and i would bet 2.00 op that your single and a bit of a loner am i correct ?? i thought so .keep your chin up .

You hit the nail on the head perfectly. I lost my job back in 2008 and have been unemployed ever since. I have basically locked myself in my apartment and only go out once a week to the grocery store. In that time I have experienced lucid dreaming, obe's, astral projection, etc....I get this on a nightly basis. Its almost as if another world has opened up. Its amazing and things have been progressing rapidly.

One a side note all this will end in a few weeks time because I am down to my last 5k in savings and I need to go back out into the real world again and get a job. If I don't I will be out on the streets :(

After spending the last SEVEN YEARS earnestly trying to 'wake up' my closest friends and family...I'M OVER IT! I haven't had a cell phone in FIVE years, never sent a text, don't have an email account, twit-free...everyone thinks I AM THE FREAK!

In the last six months, going to town for supplies has deteriorated into a 'land mine-dodging' exercise in futility! If I engage folks in conversation, it feels like my brains are being SUCKED OUT! NOBODY KNOWS WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE REAL WORLD! Weekly phone calls with family members makes my ears bleed, too!

Loneliness beats this society...100%! Time to get to know ourselves better, I guess!
