Does anyone else just cry about the state of the world?

~INFP problems~

And then you finally lose hope in humanity and think, screw it, I'm going to hide in a cave and live as a hermit.

Not cry, but earlier in the year (or late last year, I forget) I did have a period in which I was VERY concerned and felt worried throughout the day. This lasted about a week but it helped to talk to a friend who managed to calm me down and share my feelings :smile:

I lost hope in humanity before this. Society did it for me, before the whole days of Donald Trump and the EU referendum + the racism of the majority of the UK who haven't taken the time to educate themselves thoroughly.

I'll join you in the cave. We can build an underground town.

Sometimes I just get so tired of this life because I've just lost hope. There's no humanity and if there's no humanity then I just think that why on earth am I still alive?

However, I'm not losing faith in humanity since I firmly believe that there's more good in this world than bad :yep:

I am so happy (given my age) that I have not got long to go, so I hope I will not have to witness much more ...

Why do you care? You live in a great country without the problems of war or safety or extreme poverty that other people in the world face. You are so lucky to be living the high quality of life that you have in the UK. And you're still sad about humanity and wondering why you're alive? Be grateful for your life, make the most of your opportunities and make the world just that little bit better.

That sounds awful, but I'm glad you could find someone to talk it out with! Friends who you can share your anxieties with, and who empathise with you and don't judge you, are the best :smile:

Yes, I've cried about it before.

Then I feel inspired and motivated to fix as much as I can

But I end up just crying even more

My friend usually listens ... I do most of the talking ...

I mentioned just how terrible is the state of the world at this moment and pointed my happiness at the fact that us humans luckily do not live that long to see even worse things to come ... Can you imagine a proper 3rd world war with today's weapons?
