apathy....

[nightsavior]

it's strange...but i've noticed alot of ppl think by the time you're an adult you should be cold and hard. that the only way to get througfh life is to step on other people and that sensitivity or caring is a sign of weakness. i think apathy and insenstivity has begun to effect our society like a disease. many are completly willing to project their anger and hurt on others but they refuse to comfort those who are hurting or to lend them a friendly shoulder to lean on. also it's thought in our society if you are not rich or successful by the time your 20 you are worthless..i guess my point is humanity is being sacrificed for ambition...the question is are we really making progress? maybe scientifically and technologically yes...but spiritually we are taking heavy casulties..

no what it is, is noone is the same..you may think one thing and i think another...i am 18. and i am the same...call me mean if you will..as i was befor 18 and will be long aftre 18...some people are to nice, some to mean, some care about caring to much to care....its all up to how you think...

[Lancet Jades]

Well, i follow the Reverse Golden Rule:
"Do to others as they do to you."

If someone is nice to me, i'll make sure to return the favor, and if someone is mean to me, then i'll be mean right back. Simple as that.

But also, i'm usually a friendly, open, caring, sensitive guy from the start. But, i reserve the right to be apathetic and uncaring any time i want to be, especially if its in my best intrest.

i agree lancet if someone is delibertly malicious or snide to me i'd proably make their life hell...still if i have no good reason to hate someone or hurt them i won't despite what others may think of them. to many ppl in society have a sheep mentality if one person says somethings great others will flock under that opinion..if someone says something sucks or isn't that good others will say the same even if deep down they think differently. you gotta judge things by action and reaction...if someone is kind to you return that kindness,if someone helps you help them back when they need it..if someone is an ass to you just don't associate with them cause they are not worth your time..likewise if someone threatens you or a loved one bust them up...still your judgements should be based not on what others think but by what your own heart tells you..

[Lancet Jades]

Well, i dont judge people. Plain and simple. The ONLY time i judge people is when someone has wronged me. If someone wrongs me, then its my right, and mine alone, to judge that person for that wrong. But other than that, i dont judge.

[nightsavior]

i am the same...and it takes quite alot for me to get to the point where i past judgement. after that point i just act as if that person does not exist to me...still friends argue sometimes that's to be expected. no relationship is perfect. the only person i really ever judged was someone that got me in trouble with the law and lied to me about stealing something...for some odd reason he was also happy about ppl dying in the twin towers incident with the terrorist plane bombing. he was just a bad apple but i was naive at the time so i wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt. pretty much my policy stands if i offer my friendship and you keep things real there will be no problems...if you betray me and lie to me though it's over.

[Zelphiel]

eh... I'm fairly apathetic to some things. i.e. things that are of no concern or consequence to me.

[nightsavior]

well it's hard for me to be apathetic..i have a very high sense of empathy though i guess i've learned how to control it to the point where others emotions don't overwhelm me as much..

[Chicken Little]

Im an asshole ^_^ ask manda and cammy. But im a funny asshole so it kinda cancels it out.

But no im usually happy go lucky inside tired and bored on the outside so ppl think im apathetic all the time so i just rant and rave, do a mini tribal dance step off the train then move on with my life....well im tired and bored on the inside too most the time so iono..maybe i am apathetic but in denial..nah couldnt be denials planned for next week, the week after be a retard.

I used to be a blabbering hunk of mess actually got my mothers emotions and without me knowing it i could be baling my eyes out..very very bad. But then i made a friend (yay me , me special) and she helped me out a lot in that aspect so yeah empathy can piss off for all i care most the times unless the person is like nice and stuff then empathy = good.

IM CONFUSED WHAT DO I MEAN >_<???

[Laggy]

ill agree that you are one funny asshole...lmao

[nightsavior]

there is even an asshole song! something about making funny faces while parking in handicap spaces..lol.

[Zelphiel]

I think I've heard that... It sounds like something that would be on one of Tenacious D's albums.

[Lancet Jades]

doesnt it go...

I like to park in handicapped spaces where handicapped people make handicapped faces?

[Laggy]

lol yeah its somthing like that...now i remember the song...>_<

I always thought it were the kids who were cold. -_-;; Adults are suppose to be somewhat mature and understandable. I can understand them being strict or hard on people.
Oh yeah well i'm sort of like Fly. But i'm a bit of this and that.I can be cold sometimes. I usually tend to jump things into conclusion getting mad at something very quickly, which is stupud. >_>;;
I act like i'm 12 often despite that i'm close to 20. So most of the time i'm childish but um even so that's not entirely who I am.
My other self, matureside, comes up when the time is right. Sometimes, it just depends what the situation is about. (has no idea what he's blabbering about)

Well, let's just say that you might think you know a person from how they oftenly post or talk....to you. But sometimes, it takes a lot more then that to know what type of that person really are.

Yeah, i agree with you, and empathize. I'm actually quite immature for my age, at least from what i can tell .I act a lot more mature online than i do IRL, but then again, online is actually just basic interaction and politics, which i'm mature about IRL too...

And yes, kids can be....nay, ARe the coldest, most evil little bastards and bitches on the planet. To quote a Cowboy Bebop episode..."And really, there is nothing more pure, and cruel, than a child..."

[Ricdeau]

Meh, I do sympathy but apathy and empathy I dont really know about. I dunno, I'm usually pretty friendly and nice on teh outside but I usually really just want to be a mean son of a bitch. I'm too nice though. The thing that gets me is that other people get away with it and if i try on a rare occasion ever try everyone is always really apalled.

[nightsavior]

i'm manic...i can be calm,polite and generous...but sometimes one of my "moods" just hits me which turns me into a cruel,depressing,vindictive,wr athful monster. my only weakness is sweet girls...if a girl is really nice i just can't be mean to her. also i tend to be more self destructive then anything else...when i was a teenager i use to cut on myself to distract myself with physical pain to blur out the emotional agony i felt..fortunately i'm not quite as severe as i used to be.

[ChibiArisu]

I'm starting to open up to people. I didn't trust people until now, at my new school. My life had been ruined since I trusted my teachers and peers. I say..."Screw them, they don't know what's right for me." I try to be nice, but when someone says something about me or someone I care about, I go haywire. I don't care what happens to me if it's for a cared one.
People have helped me in many ways, but I still blame some people for my problems. People can say that Ima doing it to relieve the pain, they are wrong. They haven't lived my life, like I haven't lived theirs. People tell me things that I don't believe. My therapist tells me I'm "smart", but what does the test scores mean, if I don't even believe in myself? I have no self confindence, and I can't change that.
I have been treated badly, and coldly. If I had the chance, I'd do unto them what they did unto me. They deserve what comes their way, if I'm the one to do it.
