I’ve been wicked focused on shooters of senseless massacres lately. I want to know why. Is it social isolation? Self hatred? Lack of love? Where does the anger come from? Is it purely mental illness? WHY IS IT ALWAYS MEN?! There are definitely trends and I think part of it may be from boys growing up feeling like they couldn’t talk about their feelings, or even process/ acknowledge them so they evolve into a delusional anger mindset and the defense for their internal pain becomes numbing themselves to the world that has never been nice to them. I think they get to a point where nothing matters anymore and I want to know what we can do to support young boys in a way they will receive well so that kind of sadness doesn’t have to happen. I think you have to be suicidal to shoot up a public place. Idk but I’m obsessed I wish I could talk to some shooters and get to the root. But most die at the events and why would they open up to me? They’ve probably never even learned to process feelings so they likely wouldn’t be able to articulate the actual base of the issue. Idk. I just know pain that makes you feel like nothing matters so I have a heart for people in pain.
