The way I feel about things is different, but I can't disagree with you. After all I also have experienced the ugly side of human interaction in full, I'm not ignorant of its realities. It's largely responsible for making me what I am.
I've observed how people behave, individually and as groups, and noticed the vicious patterns.
There's a huge rift between what I should know based on my experiences, and how I feel, what I long for.
I was never able to reject the dream of better a world existing somewhere beyond my reach, even if it's just a mirage.
I couldn't find my own way like you have.
The more I was pushed away, the farther I ran away, the more I missed it.
I tried to kill the longing. I don't want to admit it, but I also have this hate and arrogance within me. Sometimes I feel it's fully justified, other times it horrifies me.
It's difficult. I feel like I earned my right to be this way by surviving the gauntlet. At the same time I recognize these are the exact traits of people who treated me badly.
It's like they taught it to me, and I don't want it. I don't want to be like them... And I try to be different but at some level I can never resist. Or worse, maybe I don't want to resist.
In a way the struggle with what's inside of me is similar to my relationship with the outside reality- I desperately don't want that ugliness but I know it's there. So I hate it and hate myself.
Personally I find it hard to live with this harsh aspect of humanity but I won't judge you for embracing it. I understand too well how it can from organically.
The other poster said I seemed like a nice person but I know I'm not. I want to appear as one and I secretly wanted to be called one. Maybe I want to be one, but I'm not.
For me there was no freedom in accepting that what I want does not exist. It made the emptiness I feel hurt even more.
I don't want to believe that what I already experienced is all there is to it. I don't want to accept that everything I had to endure was pointless.
Deep down I have a dreadful feeling that it really was pointless and worthless. As you said the world constantly demonstrates its indifference to me and my experiences. But I'm stubborn in not wanting to believe it.
I understand it would be right to call me a coward or a fool for trying to hide from truth. But the actions of people who lived in this ruthless harmony with the hard, cold realities often hurt me; directly and indirectly.
Having experienced what it's like to be on the receiving end of utilizing such philosophy, do I have the right to apply it myself? I'd like to avoid it. To avoid bringing more pain into the world.
Anyway, I think I do understand your point of view. I found your input valuable, so thank you for sharing your opinion. You don't have to apologize for expressing a different perspective.
As long as we don't hurt each other it's alright.

Can I help you in any way? As you see I'm a horrible mess so I can't offer much to anyone. But if there is anything I could do to make you feel even a tiny bit better, please ask. If not me then maybe someone else will be able to.

I wish I knew how to deal with pain like yours. It really does feel like an unstoppable, crushing force.
I hope your studies will bring you more and more fulfillment as you advance. Perhaps with deeper knowledge you will gain new strength to counter despair?
I know hope is a cruel thing, maybe even the most cruel of all. But still, maybe the courage that you deserve will come eventually?
Amateur astronomers have contributed so much to the field...
I also wanted to study astronomy once. I dreamed of building a reasonably large Dobsonian telescope.
It's impressive how dedicated hobbyists can build these precise instruments at home almost completely by hand, including the grinding of the mirrors.
As I researched the topic I became intimidated, especially by the difficulty of figuring large mirrors so I gave up. Like I always do.
But I know a project like this is definitely not unheard of, not impossible.
Please forgive me if you find this to be full of annoying and empty feel-good bullshit and platitudes.
I only wanted to rely a little warmth to those who seem to need it. I obviously don't know how to actually help, so I tried to give others what I myself secretly and shamefully crave every time I post. The feeling of being acknowledged and comforted by a kind reply.
I'm sorry if I was egoistical, sorry if anything I wrote made any of you feel worse. Please don't hate me.
