I'm sorry. Have you considered that they are perhaps not representative of the whole of humanity?
This person did NOT go outside today
Do you mean murder literally? Like you think if anyone saw you they would literally stab you with any sharp object near by? Or are you taking about a social pressure and systematic oppression that wears you down slowly over time?
No wonder, if you act the same in real life like you do in this comment section.
Citation needed. How is there any diversity at all in the world? Not everyone is exactly the same.
A sample size of one or a few is never totally representative of billions. Do you think everyone in the world is exactly like Greta Thunberg? People have a huge variety of values and personalities, you can't boil everyone down to a charcuterie of the particular people you grew up with.
You're taking about all of humanity, not just people who have committed genocide. Not everyone on earth has committed genocide.
Are you only including bad people in your sample? Obviously that would end up skewing the sample towards people being bad. Have you heard of the term representative sample in statistics? That's how I'm using it.
I'm sorry you haven't met any non terrible people. I've met plenty. I hope you can meet some more people to change that.
Let's say someone actually wanted to help you. Let's say they truly believed that going outside and interacting with people in person would do you good. How should such a person express their feelings and try to help while acknowledging you, respecting your humanity, and treating you as of equal value as a human?
I would like to act like such a person. How would I do that? (I do want to help you, but I don't think you would believe me)
Are you happy?
It seems like you are lashing out randomly and have a world view that everything is orchestrated to harm you.
You believe that people have killed themselves to make your life worse? I don't want to sound mean, but you aren't the only person.
That's a wild take man. Like what are you talking about? Can you tell me exactly what I've done to be an "abusive monster"? Could you elaborate on how happiness is only the result of being abusive?
