How do you live in a cruel world ?

openheart

Does anyone else worry about confrontation and the irrational behaviour in others which the world sees as normal behaviour, all that drinking, f****** and killing ? . (sorry for the F word, that that is the reality of the world).

I have this fear of the world,, I feel it the world is not normal ? it is full of barbarians calling themselves civilised.. eg, giving war aid to syria ~ USA wtf ? ..., people who drink and smoke,, love to take poisons and get aggressive. Smiley salespeople with hearts of stone to name a few.....

I have developed a fear of emotional or physical contact with people in general, you could put it down to my autism,, but the reality is,,, 

I SEE AGGRESSIVE PEOPLE .. WHERE ? EVERYWHERE !!!! (sixth sense joke). Now going to draw a rainbow with smiley people on it ... Tongue Out

I would love to embrace the world with a lovely open heart again, but the humanrace is sick and loves a fight and drama and I am too sensitive so I struggle to live with people, that a fear of confrontation.. because it is just a matter of time until they fight each other.

How do you live in a cruel world ?

 

“Man is the cruelest animal.” ~ Friedrich Nietzsche

"People speak sometimes about the "bestial" cruelty of man, but that is terribly unjust and offensive to beasts, no animal could ever be so cruel as a man, so artfully, so artistically cruel.”   ~ Fyodor Dostoyevsky

"In a cruel land, you either learned to laugh at cruelty or spent your life weeping.”
―    Robert Jordan

  • Yes, I feel like this most of the time.

    I think our general impression of the world as a whole is formed through long-distance elements, i.e. the media, but that as an autistic, just being around my family gives me anxiety to the extent of paranoia.

    That is to say, being detached from the non-verbal component of communication, any interaction involving this (i.e. being around other people) makes such so distressing and open to interpretation that when you're feeling panicky (as I am all the time) it feels agressive and domineering; even if not out-right physically violent, then at-least emotionally/verbally threatening and so-on.

    When that is the day-to-day reality you encounter in your normal routine, then it is hard not to deeply alarmed by the attention-grabbing headlines relating to war, crime, injustice and so-on which saturate media, not without logical cause, but perhaps in a fashion which is easy to distort until you feel as though the world is overwhelmingly brutal and that humanity should be kind of written off as hopelessly evil.

    The common experience for autistics is that the people around them are volatile, and that they having a distinctly limited sense of control, combine those two and it's difficult not to feel very threatened.
