Sometimes I think I'll close the tab and shut my laptop and lie down and ignore them, but then they're real. All the things I read in articles on the Internet are real-world events just put to words. Then I'm faced with a problem. I have so many options, but none of them are acceptable.
I can ignore everything I see and hear and live my life in blissful ignorance, the falling point obviously being the fact that ignorance doesn't kill the wolves. It just pools the wool over my eyes and makes me vulnerable.
I can take it all to heart and just accept that living will never be easy. I can live my whole life looking over my shoulder, but that worries me. That's poisonous. That kind of worry will make everyone sick.
I could hide from it completely and just avoid people. I could shut myself off and not pay attention to the media or to human beings, but then won't I just be encouraging my own loneliness?
Honestly, I know I said I had so many options, but these three are important. These are my biggest choices here. I don't like them. But the problems isn't going to be fixed. It's not a given option; it never has been and evidently will never be. I can't change the way people think because they're evil down to their cores. I can sit alone and cry about it and carry knives everywhere I go, and yeah, I can be suspicious and edgy so people will leave me alone, but in the end, it's only ever going to hurt me. Those who want to hurt me will come right through the wall. Even if I'm ignored, I'm still poisoning myself with anxiety.
This was so coherent to me a second ago and now I have no idea where I was going with it. I guess I'm just saying that I'm really worried about the state of society. I'm really scared. I'm sorry. -

This is where my saying "Society is STUPID" comes in.

Hello Niecey. I missed seeing you here. :3
Society is stupid indeed. -
I go with take it all to heart. That way you can try and make the world better more efficiently, leading to the world getting better faster.

*problems aren't going to be fixed
I suppose that would be the most productive option, but if I actively take everything I see to heart, I'll never be able to function in society. -
:0 really?
-
Yeah. This website is quickly losing all traces of intelligence.
-
How would that work? It would simply lead to you being substantially more cautious and doing a bit of activism.

Oh that's a bummer :I

The things I'm seeing all over the place right now are horror stories about the mindset of a lot of men. Loud proclamations of hatred for women and willing each other to commit mass acts of violence against them. I'm seeing all of these rape stories, stalking, harassment, the overall sense of entitlement. It's horrifying. If I take all of this as I see it, I don't know how I can feel safe at all. I don't want to be paranoid, but this s--- is scary. Some of these guys are actively planning to bomb schools because they're "sex deprived". I don't know what to do with this.
Indeed. You'll be on more often now, won't you? -
Not really sure, I just felt like going on today.
-
Oh.. Well, welcome back. Are you feeling any better today?
-
Thanks. And better than when?
