people walking passed the homeless as though they're part of the scenery. if someone says 'big issue' or 'can you spare some change' at least acknowledge them.

I have low self-esteem and as a consequence I'm always trying to keep everyone happy. Any disagreements can have me brooding for days - weeks even, on-and-off.

lol@ "Ready to be depressed" I sure hope no one wakes up with that thought or intention.

Something that weighs on me and my psyche is The state of humanity, and the unpleasant future that awaits our species.

The fact that people judge each other on looks and then try to say they don't. It depresses me because I want soooo badly to believe this is not true...and because of this I know I am nothing because I am a member of the luck sperm club and I want to accepted!

Whew....sorry ...just rambling!
