No, I'm not naive for being a good samaritan. It's called being a fucking normal social animal you broken fuck. Why do you think our society is falling apart?
I swear to god, capitalism has turned people into the most miserable, narcissistic fucks. No, I'm not trying to trick or manipulate you. No I'm not stupid. I just don't want to live in a world where everything is transactional and we can't just help each other. A world where everyone is a selfish asshole is depressing and stressful. It's fucking insulting when people assume I'm not genuine.
I agree so much with this sentiment, but find myself doing the opposite and coping by avoiding. I don’t volunteer my mental or emotional energy on the public, I don’t like it very much, probably because of what you are saying here. No matter how much I want a better world for all of us, I also want my hobbit hole where I can avoid everyone forever if possible.
