once upon a time someone came up to me because they needed words of encouragement. Other people were dragging this person down with negative comments and hence this affected his/her belief in her/himself. i think sometimes people get caught up too much in what other people think or in what other people say about them. A lot of the time I feel the need to protect my friends but there is nothing i can do to make someone believe in themselves and banish the negativity that other people bring forth. Today, something happened and i started thinking that too many people give too much power to other people. They forfit their belief in themselves and because of one person or sometimes many people, they inhale the negative comments thrown out there by someone who ultimately doesn't matter, in the scheme of things. Screw what other people think has always been my moto, and as long as you're happy with yourself and your decisions thats all that counts (as long as you don't make a total ass of yourself and act according to the moral compass you possess). I tend to wonder why people are such aholes sometimes and it makes me angry to think that sometimes these people have a sick way of making themselves feel better by dragging other people down. I'm sure everyone had someone in their life that was a parasite, a little worm that sucked the life force out of you. A lot of the time i take things that people say with a grain of salt. i feel like i can't trust anyone for their word anymore and other times i simply don't want to believe bs, other times i feel like either the person is way too negatory and/or fake and ill just listen to what they have to say and take nothing away with me. same goes if a person showers me with compliments and good stuff. especially if they shower me with compliments and good stuff. but a lot of people just focus on negative shit to say so those compliments are a total rare occasion. ive seen tons of people smirk when they saw someone hurting and they were the cause of the drama. like wtf, cut that shit out. i don't understand how people can be so unsympathetic. and it feels sick to me. i don't know if its the society these days but a lot of people seem out of wack to me.sometimes the world doesn't make sense to me. not being sensitive enough to realize another person is hurting is crazy.
