“My life started to fall apart Fall 2000…..” samsies, I feel like I have based my view on people and the world upon what went down during those years. It really started in 99 for me and completely unraveled by the next year. I destroyed friendships, relationships, my creative outlet, everything that mattered and was important to me. 2005-2015 still had lots to learn, more and more people took advantage of me and treated me like garbage, finally in 2020 I deleted my fb and left all that s*** behind for my own mental health and well being. If people weren’t such assholes I wouldn’t have to be an introvert. It’s definitely me but it’s also people, most are filthy rotten to the core and live to take advantage and treat others like garbage, it just gets worse as time goes on. Most are also too ignorant to see anything beyond their own noses and it’s encouraged by society to be this way. So yes don’t ever put your guard down and keep it up, it’s a curse for sure but it’s also quite the blessing when you see where people wind up and how they are to others.
