No one is real anymore

[softhearthealing]

Everyone is fake. People start to care once you are in your grave.

There can be some truth to that softhearthealing. It's a sad state of today's world.

Everyone is busy with their own lives that they barely have enough time for their

own families. There's no meaning behind words anymore. "Hi, how are you" may

just be a formality but they really don't want to hear the answer. And yet, when we

die, if you are lucky they come to your funeral saying how sad it is that you're gone.

So what do we do? The thing is we can't change how people are and so we must

work on ourselves. We don't have to be fake. We can be genuine. After all, we have

to live with ourselves and I'd rather be alone and real then popular and fake.

Learn to love yourself and live your life to the fullest so at the end, those fake people

may envy the person you were and the life you led. My best to you x

Totally agree with that statement.id rather be alone and real,than popular and fake-learning to love yourself is anyones priority,since we spend a lifetime living with ourselves.

No doubts about that Hollick.

I agree as well, I ask myself how is someone supposed to show that they care for me all the time

[brokenlight]

I feel you softhearthealing & to be very honest, tend to feel this strongly during my suicidal moments.

Please be safe.

People care more than we realize.

You can accept they are fake and move on or dwell in it as a victim of their issues. You get to decide. That is your superpower.

Wow. I've been having the same EXACT thoughts lately. As I've been going through my own depression ( and whatever else they perceive is wrong with me) all my REAL circle of friends started to thin out. People that said they would be there, that were supposedly ' like' family disappeared off the face of the earth. When I got REAL and proceeded to tell people how I felt, it didn't go over well. But the truth is the truth. You people ( mainly my church family) are not there when people need you, but pride yourself on looking after one another. Don't pretend to be my friend. Be a friend in real life. Call. Check in. Visit. Send a message by smoke signal, doesn't matter. I personally would like to think I try my best to be a REAL friend to others, but when it is not reciprocated, needless to say, I get disappointed. To all my REAL friends out there, thank you!

very well said NoNo..cheers

people are more interested in looking good (most of the time fake, with false tans, eyelashes, hair extensions, lip fillers etc) and their bank balances, people judge others on their appearance and material possessions and not on their identities and attributes anymore. Its a sad world when plastic means more than flesh and blood....

Hi I can agree wholeheartedly ,we are all ,or appear to be automatons,where botox and other superficial ities are the norm.whatever happened to individuality!!

i had a relative tell me that they are busy with work and its not an excuse but way life is. THis was part of my arguement with her and that is why she can't message me back. Now it makes me wonder how she raised 2 kids with crazy hours at work
