Humans are brutal apes with a thin veneer of civilization barely holding them back from constant genocide and cruelty.

I didn't want to believe this, and I have fought this conclusion for all of my 62 years. But I am rational, it cannot be denied. It must be accepted.

30 Folks Online Share Tragic Truths That They Have Managed To Come To Terms With I’m a coward and it’s costing me.

Edit:
I read a few of the many comments, and I’ll answer a few. I’m a coward because I’m afraid of change, I’m afraid to fail and to hurt people, I’m afraid my dreams make me selfish and that I’ll step on people who are just like me if I try to pursue them. Yes, I am afraid to ask people out, and I’m afraid that someday I’ll realize that they might have been the one. I’m afraid my efforts however inconsequential are in vain. I’m afraid to stand up, for myself and for others. I was afraid of the truth, and at least I can say I got past it, because now, I am oh so intimately familiar with my flaws. I’m afraid that I have a superiority complex and act like a snob, while I am ironically afraid that I am rather stupid. I’m afraid I talk to much and I annoy everybody I talk to, and that even when they smile, in their mind they are begging me to shut up for a minute. I’m afraid that I’m a fraud, and I’m afraid that I have no right to fear these things so early in life.
I don’t see a therapist because they cost money, and I work at a gas station.
Maybe I haven’t really made peace with it. I hope to god I’m not this way forever. I know, that someday, somehow, I’ll find a way, but for now, It’s all I can do to stay in perspective and slink forward to the next day. And look forward to a future that seems oh so far beyond the reach of one with the means I posses.

I was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult. Growing up In the 90’s in a rural area they never checked for that, in fact I was pretty much labeled a problem child despite being a decent student. On top of this I didn’t mentally mature at the same pace my friends did, they were discovering stuff about themselves that I didn’t even begin to discover until I was in my 20’s. On top of that my parents just didn’t know what to do with me, I got treated pretty bad until I was in high school when my mom kind of figured there was something a little different about me but most days she brushed it off. It took me getting counseling through the army to get diagnosed. Looking back it all really made sense that I had ADHD, especially since my nieces and nephews all seem to have it.

Depression is caused by looking within yourself too much. Do the following. (1). Practice mindfulness or clearing your mind of thoughts. (2). Join a charity. (3). Overcome social phobia. Deliberately walk slowly through busy places and face your fear of people. (Yes, that is the cause). Source: me, a suicide survivor. Start by leaving your house. Then walk down the street. Then walk through a mall without buying anything. Then walk to a bar or cafe and get a drink or coffee and sit and read your phone.

That my entire nuclear family all died young and suddenly/unexpectedly. I do now have my husband and my cat, both of whom I love with every fiber of my being even if the thought of losing them sometimes paralyzes me with fear and sadness.

I have spent a lifetime collecting things that are important to me. Now older and realizing that it’s time to start giving these things away to people/organizations who value them, it’s a hard discovery that nobody really wants most of this stuff

EXPONENTIAL POPULATION OVERLOAD

If we keep on breeding as we are, there will not be enough water, food and housing to sustain the exponential population growth. There will come a point, in the not-too-distant future, when this will have a catastrophic effect on your descendants. But it doesn't affect you, right?

Yes, I agree with this. There are technologies as in vitro systems or hydroponics, yet many suffer from famines. There is the science, then we turn something “useful” in for attempting against others! Honestly, I do have faith for a better world, but we need to wake up. For me many people are inviting us every day to throw us from a bridge, whenever they minimize climate change, famines, natural disasters, water pollution, when politics promise that if they are elected they would give us everything! And they keep postponing this kind of things for their very own interests. That's why I decided I don't want biological kids I won't give innocents that could be used only to fulfil the wishes of the wicked!

If your parent(s) were abusive, they will be abusive to your spouse and children. Walk away so they cannot spread poison into your life anymore.

I’m worthless and I see no future for myself. I’m aware I’m self destructive and have problems but I don’t care enough about myself to fix it. My life is good and I have no reason to feel like this, which makes me hate myself even more.

Depression is caused by looking within yourself too much. Do the following. (1). Practice mindfulness or clearing your mind of thoughts. (2). Join a charity. (3). Overcome social phobia. Deliberately walk slowly through busy places and face your fear of people. (Yes, that is the cause). Source: me, a suicide survivor. Start by leaving your house. Then walk down the street. Then walk through a mall without buying anything. Then walk to a bar or cafe and get a drink or coffee and sit and read your phone. Do this every week and do not let yourself off the hook with any excuses. it WILL go.

It's completely pointless what you do. The world around you is falling apart. Climate change, war... Famine, too less water. And everyone around you just lives on. They ignore it, live in their happy, little bubble because it's not them who suffer. The people who want change and do something are just too less to make a difference...

You can try your best, make the right decisions, sacrifice today's easy pleasures for tomorrow's fulfilling gains and still lose it all through no fault of your own. This is life. All you can do is try to mitigate the risks and enjoy what you have.

Realizing that justice went from being a right, to a theory, to a concept, then merely to a word. And that in reality, it’s become such a disregarded “right” for so long that it’s now normalized, and there are so many who are part of the system in one way or another (including those who claim to advocate for someone’s rights) that they are comfortable brazenly and openly committing on a daily basis, it’s now a given.

Justice is, and ALWAYS HAS BEEN, an ideal. You can't reach it, only try to approach it, because people are individuals and societies change. Something that feels good/is right for one person at one time may feel bad/be wrong for another one, and laws have to generalize.
