biscuits and gravy User ID: 1072087 United States 02/17/2013 06:02 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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!

Anonymous Coward User ID: 15435455 United States 02/17/2013 06:14 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I've been like this since 2011, when I lost my parents all of a sudden. That pulled me back and I have still not been able to come out of the shock. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 27901966 From that time on, for some reason, I have gone into my own shell and I really don't feel like being a part of the society anymore. My parents were very spiritual and I remember them telling me things like not to be selfish because the world that we live in is not the absolutely reality and there is another beautiful world out there. I never really took them seriously at that point in time and I was one of these rude, selfish people from today's world who believed that "what I saw was the absolute reality" and nothing else. I sometimes think my parents left me all of a sudden to teach me a good lesson about life in general. Since the time they have left, this new world of spirituality has suddenly opened up for me, however, it has left me completely disconnected from my surroundings. I am not sure what this exactly is and what it will end up being, however, it is painful, and seeing many of the GLPers going through the same, I feel this is going to be something beautiful. |

Children aren't taught critical thinking skills anymore. In fact, I think people haven't learned those skills for quite some time. They aren't taught to question, theorize or hypothesize. So they can run a computer or play video games, but they can't think their way out of a paper bag. I just wish the laws of natural selection would be allowed to take over. So many laws exist solely to try to protect dumb people from themselves and it causes endless expense for businesses. I say, get rid of all the stupid warning labels and laws and let the poor f**kers fend for themselves. |

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 BINGO. It's a sort of instinct of self preservation, also. We don't have energy to get HURT by people anymore. Our emotional structures are heavily damaged and fragilized. its not that i get hurt by people its just i find people completely uninteresting, and they give me nothing i know stuff they have no clue about, my reality is nothing like theirs.. talking about their little booring plans etc.. i know how their future will be like, and it will be nothing like it .. most of them will spend their older years slaving with an axe in the forest chopping firewood for a farmer, draining soil or picking strawberries until they drop dead, but i dont have the heart to tell them that ... if i tell them they should start saving in silver and those plans will never happen, they get angry at me and call me crazy anyway. And its not smart to suggest saving in silver etc to most people anyway, they will be desperate in the future. yes, crazy.. havent i heard that one a zillion times now so i shut up.. |

Quoting: ruser im 35 BO! i can talk to people, its not that.. its just i dont bother going out anymore.. and its tiresome listening to friends that dont have a friggin clue. If i found someone with a working brain, i think i'd like their company. ive known this world would go to hell eventually, but i didnt know exactly when, i knew about the financial crash in 07-08 and spent the years since then reading and reading economy, news, survival stuff, youtube vids etc, out of all the info ive filtered out the bullshit and found stuff that made sense and made plans... austrian economics, farming and firewood, debt free, gold / silver, weapons etc... this autumn i knew i had no more time to just sit there and do nothing and had to hurry... i had watched the price of silver, i looked at stuff like the fiscal cliff etc .. and i watched the housing prices here.. knew it was a good time to sell the place i lived in, buy a huge chunk of silver + pay off the debt my parents have on their farm and move there, so i finally did it... now my dad's expanding his business, im waiting to move into that, but i want to avoid dealing with customers since im anti-social and he refuse to let me do the trips etc because he likes it too much.. so for now i'll do little stuff around on the farm, update our webpage and varios small tasks.. but if its one firm i think have a good chanse of making it ahead, its his but im alone about this, and i still wish i had someone around that "knew" whats coming.. i know "survivalists" that are armed to the teeth, but they dont have a clue about what their doing. Most of these folks sure knows about sleeping in tents outdoors and shooting, but few own any precious metals or have a plan that makes sense. so i feel pretty damn lonely .. ive found one soul in this country, but he lives far away |

But my street has a lot of traffic every day, with fucking morons. They really piss me off. And people are really invasive or nosy especially my stupid neighbors.

I live in Massachusetts and as dumb as it was, I really loved when they banned traffic for 24 hours. All the assholes were forced to stay home hahaha. |
Andy User ID: 32230151 Canada 02/17/2013 09:35 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Yes, I had a crappy past year with lots of painful memories, but I'm not the only one. It's easy for me to think that is the cause, but I don't believe that is the case. I suspect we all collectively know there are big changes coming. All the people we refer to are perhaps dealing with the same energies in their own ways. Whatever the energy is, it is not bringing us together in meaningful ways anymore. The best term I can think of is that we are all being "played" on so many levels: mental, physical, and spiritual. How else does one find shelter other than opting out? |

Wake Up! Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1579668 does ANYONE feel like I do? Do you feel like you just want to drop out and not deal with people anymore? I do. I had to run into a Wal Mart tonight. On the way in, I saw a man and woman with a child. Her entire face was covered with some head burka thing, and the man was sneering at me, as I stared in shock. She was trying to take a small child out of a basket, and ripping his legs up on the edges because she couldn't see well enough. Because of the desire they evoke in me, I don't want to see them. Because everyone else smiles at them as if they are charmingly exotic, I can only conclude they are morons. I don't want to see them either. Was trying to ask the cashier how they would react if I walked into a WalMart in a mask, but he kept chattering about nonsense nonstop. I keep wondering how I can stay as normal as I've always been, while most others change into something alien. And, I'm no kid. Was not old enough to go to Woodstock, but am old enough to remember blue skies, puffy clouds, June bugs and roller skates. War is coming to the streets of the US. The only objective I care about any more, is to make sure MY grandkids get to live in liberty, like I always have. I've never been in the military. I hear all soldiers experience a type of detachment in order to achieve objectives. Janus198 |

I feel the same way, and it seems that many others do as well. I live in an apt. bldg., and have a service dog. He alerts when my heart is about to go whacko. The only time I leave this apt. is to take him outside to potty, to go to the store, and to my doc. "Make new friends!", my therapist suggests. Uh hmmm. Passing would-be 'friends' in the lobby of the apts, on the way outside, one woman raises her cane at my service dog, and went to take a swing. I grabbed her cane. Told her if she tried that again, I'd have her arrested for attempted felony assault on a service dog. (It would be a felony because service dogs are protected by the federal gov't and Dept. of Justice). The manager backed me up and also gave the woman a warning. Even more reason to stay in my apt. alone. Forget making new friends. I don't need more bs and drama in my life. So yeah OP, I totally understand what you are saying, and feel the same way myself. It's just too dang exhausting to deal with others. . |

Reading all the posts in here, and my head is nodding right along with almost everyone. I started to reply to one post, then realized I'd be replying to nearly everyone. PLEASE each one know that you aren't alone in how you are feeling. I feel it too! It's like y'all are reading my own thoughts and feelings. I'd go live on a secluded island alone, if that were possible. And am thinking that would be as close to heaven as is possible on earth. To be alone. Thought living in an apt. and not trying to make friends would be the answer. Nope. Still have to have SOME contact with others, going to the store, walking the dog, etc. And neighbors knock on the door, wanting to borrow something. "Do Not Disturb" signs are wonderful. So are the 'peek holes' in the door. I don't even get up to see who is there. I have three sons, and recognize their knock. I tend to ignore the phone, but will check on who called in my own time, and answer back when/if I decide to. Will answer my son's rings tho. I totally hear you about texting. And I just don't go visiting anymore. Have been there, as a part of a group, yet sitting off to the side cuz I just DON'T want to be there. I decided forget it, I just won't put myself thru that anymore. I dunno what the problem is, what it's caused by, or what the answer is... IF it is a problem and IF there needs to be an answer. To me, it feels like staying home alone is being true to who and what I have become, and it feels healthy to me. For now anyway. . |

The saddest part is that the babyboomers of today are the last generation that comes from a time where the world still had humane conciousness. Those that were born in the 90s/2000s are already screwed over to the point of no return except the very few that will be strong enough to save their souls. In fact the world has really been ending since the 21rst century. TPTB are taking their time to slowly suck the masses dry with all their physical and psychological afflictions before it's all over. |
