Huh. I imagine you were someone who wanted life to be "ideal" and believed that people felt that acting "ideally" was the right way to act. I think people had made fun of that because they thought it'd be "naïve" or "too hopeful".Momiji wrote:
yes, because there seems to be some weird segment of population that amounts to like 30%, which manages to bully other people for things that don't affect anyone - preferences, desires, etc.
one might think that 30% (sorry but I don't know the actual amount so I'm just going by my own experience) is low enough, but you encounter enough people in your daily life for it to matter as well
i still remember the confusion that hit me when I went to school and started interacting with people. i thought everything was simple, and that hurting other people was bad. i thought that the only possible thing to have a problem with is affecting other people negatively. but then i noticed how people are bullying others for liking that, or wanting that, or bla bla bla.
having empathy is especially problematic because i think about this all the time even when nothing bad happens to me.
Definitely not ideal, I only thought that it would be neutral. I never expected that people would go out of their way to help anyone, that takes time and effort after all. I only thought that there would be 0 people (lol i really thought that way) that will hurt others for having unpopular preferences etc. I thought it was impossible to have a train of thought that would allow anyone to do that.Xuequinox wrote:

Confronting people about traits that should affect anyone, on the other hand, is a bit more problematic.
i feel like that in a funny way. because I think i unintentionally make many mistakes that would allow people to dislike me. i think i deserve to be bullied for not being good enough in certain aspects. persecution shouldn't be a problem in that case...Xuequinox wrote:
