I cannot stand the emphasis on "individuality" now that circulates around our country and gives people an excuse to not care about others. I'm sick and tired of entertainers, football/baseball/basketball, etc. players making zillions of dollars b/c they are "pretty" or "talented" (both of those terms are complete b.s.). I can't find a person to have a relationship, friendship, conversation with b/c everyone I meet is stupid--I'm not just talking about people lacking academic smarts (I can deal with that), but people who are ignorant about life and the way things work. I get tired of explaining simple s**t to grown folks (capitalism, bureaucracy, gov't, child-rearing, et al.). I don't know how to overcome my feelings (or if I should), but I've always been this way. I try to completely exile myself from groups of people if possible; but if that's not possible and I have to interact with others, it has to be short-lived. This is my (current) general attitude about life...
