Humanity is depressing.

I am obsessing and having trouble letting go of any transgressions that occurred against me the last couple of days. It is warping my sense of seeing goodness in humanity. At this moment in time I see people as vile, mean, cruel and ignorant in most cases. I work in the service industry (not where I want to be but a necessity for now). In 2 days I have been thrown under the bus by my supervisor while another supervisor just watched and did nothing. Then I had a “Christian” dude make fun of my body. All the while I am supposed to smile and let it happen! I want to let go before it takes me down that dark path.

I am sorry this has happened to you. There are some horrible people in this world but there are also some lovely people too. I think we just hear about all the bad ones. I like to read feel good stories online as it helps me to remember how kind people can be.

I’m very sorry. Some days it seems we just run into one bad experience after another with people. Hopefully you’ll have a few good days and don’t forget to look for the positive. It’s there if we look for it but I too have difficult lately finding the positive.

Thank you for the empathy! There are some folks I see on a regular basis that smile when they see me and they bring a smile to my face as well. I try to bring them to the front of my thoughts but when I’m headed into the darkness it’s hard to remember.

Interesting development. It has taken me 3 days to get over this episode. A little sleep, a few dreams, and your support! Thank you from me and my psyche. Apparently it can happen!!! All that negative energy is exhausting!
