The world is a dangerous place

[bheadmaster]

Anyone else always feel like this world is a very dangerous place?

You can never tell who is being honest and who just wants to screw you over. People out there are a bunch opportunistic vultures, seeking every chance they have to take advantage of you for their own personal gain. It's not even that surprising - after all, humans are cruel animals. I just wish I wasn't playing part in this, I just wish I wasn't taught to just shut up and suffer, maybe I would feel so freaking useless every time any slightest issue comes up and I have to talk to someone or confront them... Why even try... Every effort is futile, when nobody will waste their time on one individual's problem unless they have some kind of profit out of it... And nobody wants to help you. They will refuse to do so until they are completely forced into it by whatever force is able to do so. People don't give a $#%^ about me, I know that, they don't owe me $#%^; we are all part of this social contract, whatever it is. But then I hate my parents for instilling in me those awful characteristics of avoiding confrontation and not bothering others... Others NEED to be bothered, in order to get ANYTHING out of this god damn world. The only reason someone would care is because it's a better alternative than ignoring you. Which means, them ignoring you has to result in a LOT of pain for them.

"Selflessness" doesn't even exist. Everyone is selfish in their own unique way - even the so-called "altruists" who spend their lives helping others in need are only like that because they feel they are worthy if they do it. If they could find a way to feel the same worthiness without the effort, they'd take it in a matter of seconds. Nobody *actually* cares.

I feel like everyone is evil and out to get me. Like something really really bad is happening and I just can't do anything to stop it.

So... Anyone else feel like this?
