Probably not interesting but maybe

Another day; feeling like the unhealthy bacteria that die who weren’t good enough to live on the maggots that inhabit shit. Everyone else in my life had good news naturally and took their sweet time finding the right grip before twisting the knife.

Anywho, my main thought/question is: as hurt and damaged as some of us are; why do people tend to gravitate toward us with their problems? So called problems is sometimes appropriate, cutting your Zumba class down 5 minutes or not quite finding the nail polish that defines you as a person kind of pales to what I’ve lived and read on this site? Do we attract them?

I kind of think there may be a need to have these sites divided in to age groups. Im 66, so what issues I face in the final 1/3( hopefully) of my life, a 20 yr old might not understand and same for me not being in touch of what it’s like to be 20 in todays times

Peoples perspectives are their realities. Often it is hard for a drowning person to empathize with some one with a hangnail. 💜

Indeed that's my point. And that's not a dissimilar analogy. A youths problems in relation to say a geriatric who needs constant hospital care. The elderly person is never going to be able or at least will find it extraordinarily difficult to get the youth to understand that his body is now against him, is breaking down, has betrayed him after years of faithful life. The youths problems probably amount to not getting someone to friend him on Facebook or he didn't get his fantasy player of choice or whatever it is they do. Now with depression/anxiety it's similar but with perhaps peers. Same ages but again we're never going to get these feelings/thoughts/pains across in a meaningful or understandable way.

I’m 56. I agree my challenges are different and if the same I view them differently.

[Hidden in reply to NeuronerdDoaty]

Yes I agree
