The title should give it away.
It's a constant and heavy feeling that I've been overwhelmed with my entire life (no joke). When things are too quiet and the past comes back to haunt me, this phrase pops up, laughing and jeering at me. When I feel the most stressed and a stranger gets pissed off with me, or someone I know and love, I feel that way. When I am going into major distress mode, it boils down to that phrase: nobody cares.
It probably doesn't help that the media spews out the negative. That's the number one reason I stopped watching the news, plus I hate how it's become nothing but a popularity contest and politics. Without getting into that grueling topic, let's just say that I am not a fan of either. I'm low profile and the quiet type, and prefer to see what I need via other news sources; the internet is the main.
The reason I mention the media is because it feeds off negativity in people's lives; in short, it sells. When was the last time anyone watched something where two or more people are pitted against each other in a contest that is supposed to be "reality", and have tense experiences between each other? Or competing for the celebrity love of their life, but against 13 other men? Or two ghetto chicks (or guys, either/or) going at it because of emotional tension about the guy/gal they are screwing together?
My point is the world is extremely messed up in it's idea of entertainment. I do have to understand that everyone is different, and despite my opinion it is that; an opinion. And despite that opinion, life is still moving forward while I'm in the back pondering why this is acceptable.
So why does this type of thing make me feel like no one cares?
Because I know humanity can be very selfish. I know it can be extremely hypocritical, angry, fanatical, and unpredictable. There is an unbalance in today's society. I don't expect peaches and rainbows, of course, but something a little more positive would be nice. Like maybe some sincere human encouragement.
Only in a perfect world.
