I have been trying very hard not to loose my faith in the Human race but I think today that I have finally given up hope that any one on this entire planet has thoughts of anyone but themselves.
I hate to admit it but I have given up. I cannot take another fake person.
Humans are by nature selfish. It’s what led us to addiction. Depending on what the “fake persons” motives were. Was it only to hurt you or was that your own perception? Did you give something to someone with your own motives of self behind it? I’m not sure where you are in your recovery, but I know for me in the early stages I was kind of on the same thought as you. I started to just keep my own lawn clean and not worry about other people. Their actions are their own.
I agree but I don’t let that change who I am I read a book called the 4 Agreements that really helped me with not taking other ppls actions personally I highly recommend it.
You can always count on humans to be humans.
I have to agree with Taylor. Humanity will always be humanity. People will always prioritize their struggle or their problems over that of others. It is often how we survive. Unfortunately, most often by the time we admit to needing help those who we could ask are otherwise occupied. I cannot count the friends I have had to turn down when they ask for help simply because I was unable to be there. It does not mean that I did not care it meant I couldn't be there.
That said, what is the core motive behind how you feel? Are you disappointed that they were not there when you needed them or was it that they were not there when someone else did. Is it that they did not drop everything to come running as they had before; or as you had before? Remember that even an ambulance arriving on a call is dependent on its availability.
