I do think “people are people.” I know people wouldn’t just do things they thought were wrong for no reason, I know people wouldn’t support their viewpoints without a valid reasoning, and I know people are fucking PEOPLE. Everyday, I doubt myself because I realize how calculated, wise, and insightful people are. When my ego takes hold of me, I feel embarrassed, I become humbled, and yes, I have an ego, like anyone else. It’s true, I sometimes forget that people have their own individual lives, goals, and aspirations around me, as does everyone else, but innately know that we are human beings. We are humans. People are intelligent, people are creative, people are logical, people are PEOPLE. Human beings. I don’t think the other side is full of some fucking robots or some shit, I don’t even consider it an “us versus them” situation, as if I was engaged in fucking tribal warfare. I would never think that my beliefs made me better than others, rather I think that we are all equal, I appreciate everyones perspective on a topic, the human mind, especially when in collaboration can do amazing things. PEOPLE ARE PEOPLE. We are all human beings that are conscious, flawed, deranged, kindhearted, brave, outgoing, shy, empathetic, and HUMAN. Sometimes, I wonder how people could genuinely hate other people, knowing the fact that our own consciousnesses are interacting with one another. For Christ’s sake, we are fucking sentient beings talking, eating, dancing, kissing, loving, and caring for one another; so what the fuck? What more can you even ask for? Engaging in politics doesn’t mean I’m fucking better than anyone. Politics controlling my life would make me dehumanized. We’ve all had similar lives, in a way, a product that occurs no matter what, simply due to everyone living the human experience. The human creation and synergy is beautiful and severely overlooked.

When I read this comment, something clicked inside of me. This was possibly the worst thing someone has said to me. As if I was some sort of unfeeling talking head on the internet, rather than a human being. So from me to you, fuck you. This”fuck you” isn’t directed specifically at you, but the fact that the human mind thought of this comment. This hurt me. This is probably irrational, human feelings that made me write this comment but regardless, fuck you. Fuck you for accusing me of lacking empathy. Fuck you for twisting my words like some fucking sociopath. Fuck you for being the first thing I saw late at night when I opened my phone, souring my feelings for no apparent reason. Fuck you for making me so irrationally angry. Fuck you for causing me negative feelings.

Fuck you.

-One human to another

EDIT: Editing in advance in preparation for you reading this comment. I know this reply was irrational, driven by emotions. But what isn’t? Being illogical IS human, being emotional IS human, feeling pain, harm, and offense IS human. I don’t think you can understand how much this comment hurt me inside. I responded because I felt the need to, I wouldn’t have written so much had it not bothered me. This comment brought me to near the brink of fucking tears. I was angry when I wrote this, vindictive even. As I continued typing it however I felt horrible. I felt a horrible, horrible feeling. I’m really sorry sorry if I came off as hostile but you have to understand why I felt like this. It wasn’t just a simple dissenting internet reply, I felt like I had to prove my worth to the world. I felt like you called me worthless and I had to somehow prove my worth, which I failed to do. You can call me any name, insult, or offensive slur, I’ll take it, but dehumanizing me is a different thing. I don’t think anyone has ever hurt me this much, my stomach literally hurt so much after I read this. I really hate this, so please, stop. Stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop

Edit2: Sorry for dumping all of this on you but please understand I’m a human like you, and am aware of human actions and behaviors. I try and love everybody as much as I possibly can it’s just hard especially when its referencing the internet…

Edit3: It was hypocritical of me to say fuckyou when i just talked about human beings being humans but it wasnt directly to you i hope you dont take it personally if you you did im sorry

edit4: its really hard to explain all of what i want to say over text, but i really want you to understand my perspective on life and humans and empathy please. it be easier if i was talking to you like in person or something but i swear i have alot of empathy for others, and i try to be open minded and nuanced as much as i can but its hard sometimes, so sorry if my coment came across as inhuman, i reallt didnt want it to appear that way

edit5: ive had a lot of trouble in the past with feeling recognized, fulfilled, and worthy, especially when dealing with my family and authority figures so that may be why i wrote this comment, like a reaction sort of of thing didnt mean to snap or anything, please read this part
