People Reveal What 30 Things Keep Disappointing Them But They Still Haven’t Given Up On

Trying to explain to people that animals are sentient and shouldn't be HARMED at all. Or kept in poor conditions. They don't exist for people entertainment.

Amen! Eating animal flesh is also gross.

Animals are sentient, PLANTS are sentient, MUSHROOMS are sentient. All kind of things we Don't even think about are sentient. you should be kind to everything if you could but we step on these sentient beings and EATING them and treating them like trash. We should be kinder to everything, but we should still eat them. Sorry but we are consumers. I'm mostly talking about food but treating sentient beings like trash still isn't cool make better zoos, Or no zoos, No poachers (My God I hate poachers), and you get the point.

Yes!!

A know it all uncle was telling me how camels are really bitchy and moody. I looked him dead in the eye and said “maybe if they hadn’t been exploited by humans for thousands of years they’d lighten up.” The look on his face as he fell silent and walked away was priceless.

Same here. The one I would call friends only meet with me when I call them and when there absolutely nothing else for them to do. There are weeks, sometimes even a few, when I do not initiate an activity, that my phone doesn't ring or WhatsApp beeps. From time to time I hear how my friends meet with others, go out, have parties, but I am hardly ever asked if I would like to join. I am absolutely sure that it has to be my fault. But sadly, when I ask in a friendly way, what I am doing wrong, everyone says that all is fine. If anyone would tell me why I am an annoyance, it could be a chance for me to better myself or at least stop making the same mistake again and again. Damn, I hate being alone. Over the years I have developed into a figure in an Edward Hopper painting.

As an introvent, i really understand this. It's very very difficult for me make friends, people usually thinks i'm not a likeable person, but it's just it's hard for me speak to people.

It's especially difficult when you're well on the Autistic scale but no one understood what that means, including yourself. Never any answers, just more questions.

Being odd is good. The friends you do make will be the best, interesting people. And less judgmental.

Oh absolutely - literally as the years have gone........end up doing everything on my own. Not a way to live.

That happens when you have people that get to stay in Washington for decades due to no Congressional term limits. Things don't change because you're stuck with the same people.

Volunteer for a political campaign. It can make a difference.

As the saying goes - voting is not like marriage, it's taking a bus. You get the bus going closest to your destination. Right now, with autocracy rising all over the world, if you care about democracy you'll vote for the party NOT trying to disenfranchise voters or otherwise install themselves as permanent leaders. No one wins when a strong man is at the helm. Putin has proved how little he cares and how easily he'll send some to war and others to prison for his own ideas. That can happen anywhere else. So vote and avoid it. Don't kid yourself you'll be somehow spared.

Ignore it all - your life will be better. Voters have zero control. It's an illusion of having a voice. If you want to see change in front of you, you have to get involved in ultra local politics.

if everyone voted bernie and progressives on his coat tails things mite be a lot different.

I know the feeling so bad, but people usually think it's very easy to get pregnant. It isn't. One year isn't that much and is considered normal. It took 4 pregnancies and 5 years to have my little boy and the tests showed nothing wrong. I wish TV shows depicted pregnancy in a more real manner.

Keep everything in perspective. God will give you a child if you're supposed to have one. Enjoy the trip to the destination as much as actually getting there. God bless.

Many many congratulations. It can be very hard and disappointing, but you just got to keep at it like bunnies.

What a wonderful world to be wrenched into. Ripped from the void and forced to pretend that this is living 🤣

My friend has endometriosis (idk bout that spelling) and tried for YEARS to have a baby, until she FINALLY got her daughter about 5/6 years ago.

In 68 years I've been burnt, ripped off, slandered, lied to, stolen from, betrayed, beaten up, deceived, ghosted, gaslighted and emotionally destroyed. So yes, trusting other people is an issue to me. The few that became my friends are dying off year by year and it's nearly impossible to replace them.

The American government is based on not trusting each other. There's a guy (always been a guy, let's not get distracted by that) in charge but let's not trust him completely. We'll put in a group of people that can, if they can ever agree, overrule him. But, we don't trust them either so we'll have a second group to overrule the first group. But we don't trust either of them so we'll set it up for the guy in charge to overrule both of them unless the group can come to a majority and overrule the overruling. But we can't trust either of these so we'll put in a group of judges to interpret what they overruled. The American way: "I don't trust you"

It takes time and effort

no way! I trust very few!

You should probably let this one go. I sure did.

Omg, yes.

If you can, try swimming. It really helps speed up weight loss

I've just accepted I have the body I have and do what I need to do to be healthy. I don't know why I thought it was so important to try to be attractive to guys with such unattainable high standards, or thought that guys are only attracted to model/porn star types, when I was younger.

Unless you're unhealthy f**k the scale. I have body dysmorphia issues. Trust me when I tell you, you don't wanna get hung up on your looks.

Don't go by the scale if that's what you're trying to do. Muscle is denser and weighs more than fat, but the scale doesn't tell them apart

I did this for a while but it just makes you feel crappy so I cut them off. Not worth the effort.

Some people are toxic or selfish and that's probably the most likely explanation. But I'm also going to point out that depression can f**k people up and a LOT of people are depressed right now. Sometimes that manifests itself as an inability to do much of anything. I have certainly experienced that. Where even small household tasks seem insurmountable and trying to contact people just seems impossible (and the voice in your head saying those people don't care about you anyway). So give people grace (unless they've proven they're toxic, in which case you're well rid of them). They may be struggling in ways you can't see.

I’m the person on the other side of this who’s super introverted and doesn’t feel like reaching out and being a bother. It tough either way, I suppose. (Unless the people you’re reaching out to are just selfish douches, in which case never mind.)

So very much the same. It's my 40th in two weeks and people keep asking if I'm doing anything for it, I don't see the point since it would be the same people I see everyday - I can't put myself through a party to sit there and watch the door that doesn't open as no one comes! Anyone Near East ayrshire feel free to come celebrate my birthday with me

I always respond but no longer initiate contact or offer any favors. Relationship is fizzling but so be it.
