Discussion: 80% don't care, 20% glad you have them

This quote has been on my mind for a very long time since I am the type of person, preferring to keep to myself most of the time. I would like to know if you agree or disagree with this quote? Let me know! I would love to hear your opinions & thoughts.

Glad I ain’t alone on this one. I remember coming across this post when I was 19 years old because I realised that the people I went to college with (not sure if you’re from the UK as college means high school around 11th-13th grade) tried asking me about my problems so I dismiss them saying that I don’t trust them because I know they wouldn’t care and be happy that I’m suffering like they would probably say something very dismissive or be like “Good!” in a negative tone.

I agree with that to a certain extent. I don’t think it’s healthy keeping so much problems to yourself but then again it’s so hard to trust people so it’s a difficult situation

Alright I explained in case you get confused if I vaguely write that but yeah that’s true, people can be bitter af. It’s worse when a stranger tells you their problems even though you don’t know them that well like when they talk about their partner kicking them out of the house and you just don’t know what to say.

That’s true. Especially when some people look forward to hearing or seeing you suffer.

I’d switch the percentages from the photo and agree with your title. 80% doesn’t care.

you need to surround yourself with people who do care, talking about your problem is importen. and the people who matter will care. ignoring the problem will not make it go away.

i have been lucky to have a life full of people who cared about me helped and listen when it matter.

one person who care is more importen than 100 who dosent.

I always encourage people opening up about their problems, actually. Although I can’t help with 99% of them, I know what it’s like having no one to talk to, so it’s great someone’s there just to listen or speak to you in a positive way.

Agreed. I stopped telling my feelings to anyone but very few friends and most to my boyfriend, he knows me more than anyone, even with my friends who obviously care, I don’t trust them fully. Don’t know if that’s a bad thing but it keeps my life going well. :upside_down_face:

You ain’t wrong about this. There are people who can be very dismissive as well (as I have stated in my previous comment)

But yeah, I prefer to keep diaries because I would rather not write a 5000 word essay on a post about how my life is s*&t and so on.

Looks like it does need to be swapped around.

Yeah, sometimes people would use anything against you when it’s the end of a friendship/relationship. People got things to gossip about.

Exactly. That’s why I chose very carefully to what I say to anybody, my boyfriend, I don’t think twice :joy::sweat_smile:

Same. Good thing I don’t have any social media platform because of all that high school drama that was going on. I meant by the high school mentality act that goes on there.

Yeah, I only have Snapchat and it’s just for texting people since I don’t have service just yet on my phone. I deleted Instagram, too much drama and pettiness. But yeah, I may just stop being close with any friend honestly even though they seem loyal and would never do anything to me if we stopped being friends, I can never know someone’s intentions or what they think. So I think I’m done talking to anybody about my personal personal life, like how I feel or what’s going on in real life. Just bland answers. I can’t fully trust anyone anymore. The past did something to me that made me realize now I shouldn’t. Soooo, welp, I only personally talk about myself and issues and problems to my mans. :cowboy_hat_face: I just hope me being cold and distant doesn’t hurt any of my friends, it probably will but I just can’t get hurt again. :confounded:

I know how you feel. As an Aspie, I really do have trouble with forming & sustaining friendships.

Yeah, what’s an Aspie?

It is short for someone with Asperger’s Syndrome. But yeah, it’s one of my traits as an aspie as I am really bad at socialising even though I’m trying hard to work on that.
