It's not so much a matter of everyone being out to get you as it is that for the majority of the human race, if it comes down to a choice between the next meal & their honor, they'll pick the first option. Self-centeredness & not looking beyond tomorrow are the default conditions; real concern for others & consideration for those outside one's own tribe have to be taught. And not everyone learns such lessons equally well, or at all. I can't go through what I've been through & hold personal standards without, well, learning the most obvious lessons to start with.
As for being miserable: If you were really that happy, would you be in ALL to begin with? We're all here for some reason *lol* It's a matter of picking your poison, really. Sure, solitude has its downsides but you reduce or eliminate the possibility of further mistreatment & betrayal. Life is definitely simpler. These days the only problems I have to deal with (& solve if possible) are my own.
You have no idea why I'm here, so don't assume you do. I'm not lonely, and I don't live in solitude. I don't care why you're here, and I never implied anything about your reason of being here. All I'm doing is talking to some people and expressing my ideas in a reply to a post. So making this a personal thing will not work out for you in the end.
I don't know who taught you about life, but they were wrong to feed you whatever ideas they did. People don't have to consider you. It's those that do who are worth your time. Not everyone is supposed to be your friend. And no, not everyone would pick their next meal over you. That is the saddest thing to expect from everyone. Either you must know some really ****** people, or you've truly never experienced kind people. I know people who would literally give you the shirt off their back, and their last scrap of bread just to see you comfortable. I feel sorry for you that not only that you've not experienced kindness in your life, but that you now seem to not even know what kindness is.
I go by treating people how I'd like to be treated. But I also understand that not everyone is like that. I'm not under a rock, naive of the real world. I just refuse to be negative towards everyone just because a few people have let me down in life. I'm not going to treat people like dirt just because I've been treated like that before in my life.
