I apologize in advance if this post offends anyone.
I have recently undertaken a new attempt to be "non-judgemental" of other people, which is totally opposite of what I've been like in the past.
But I'm just more and more frustrated every day by people I see and I cannot figure out why they choose to live their lives the way they do.
It seems when I'm driving around, probably 90% of the people I see, I wonder if they have any self esteem at all. People dressing like slobs, puffing on cigarettes, driving rudely, living like some animal, etc.
I'm not trying to point my finger at these people, but I want so badly to have an optimistic view of the world, to think that people are smart and kind. But the more and more I look around, the more I wonder if there is really a person behind the eyes of most others I see. Some of these people just behave like animals.
The other day I saw a pickup truck with all kinds of idiotic and immature bumper stickers on it, and ofcourse the fake "ball sack" hanging from the bottom of the truck (if anyone's ever seen one you know what I mean). Why do people have to live like this? I see it everywhere and I don't live in a city where this is more prevalent than normal. But what grown adult would wake up one day and choose to live like this?
This is one just example of the types of people I become frustrated with. I could go on and on about others, and just the way they live. It's not just people living like slobs. It's people who are vain, disrespectful, disconnected, blindly hateful, and on and on, etc. I just keep thinking, "who would choose to live like that?"
How can anyone possibly feel good about the world when so many people are out their making an idiot of themselves? People who are anything but dignified or respectful? It makes me feel SO depressed and negative about the world sometimes.
Important Note: I do not know everyone on here well, but I have never encountered anyone on babble that made me feel negative about the world. I think everyone here is great. I really mean that. It's the dirtbag in a dirty pick up sucking on a cigarette with his radio blasting out some "Metallica" crap at the traffic light that frustrates me.
