This has been bothering me for some time now -- quite a number of years.
People and their lack of the sense of what an other person is feeling, even their needs, etc.
I know this has been going on for years and years, it's just it saddens me that's all, maybe it's because of my age, i don't know (Im no spring chicken that's for sure).
What i mean to say is: like for an example, I'll say to someone here where I live, if I'm heading out to the store (I was leaving at the exact same time yesterday - this just happened, not planned - as my next door neighbour) that I was going to Sobeys (a grocery store) because i was nearly all out of milk. And its like sometimes other people act like I'm some sort of robot or something like i don't need to eat or something. sorry it's just it seems like that from their manner. Or i'll say oh that shower felt good! And they don't say anything. They don't say well "oh that's good". It's like they are all wrapped up in their own needs and wants and nobody else matters except them and their family. Yes i know it's nothing new. People are selfish at times. It's just i know on my end if they said it to me I'd probably say "I'm glad your shower felt good"; or "yes that sounds like a good idea to get some milk or food if you're running low". I mean I would acknowledge what they said, is the point. It just discourages and depresses me that's all. It just seems like we are so damn disconnected from each other as humans that we have lost the ability to acknowledge another human being's needs. Please bear with me as I'm just depressed
as it is 4:33 or so am here in my part of Canada.
