I wish people understood the concept of each and every one of us having an inner world as rich as each others.

The way we look at each other like we don't all have the same drives is wild. Granted the problem, if any, comes in the pursuit of how we fulfil these drives but the profound feeling of understanding that every person you encounter has a life complex, full and real as your own, complete with their own ambitions, friends, routines, and worries equally as meaningful as yours, just feels like a basic approach right?

Maybe then we'd have a deeper appreciation for the complexity of the human experience instead of being overbearing and ostracising

I think people in this day and age are SO self focused that they act like others don't even EXIST besides them and their friends, partner, kids etc.
It's very sad but very worrisome because we are supposed to get BETTER emotionally as humanity progresses, not worse. It's really no wonder people say here, or wherever, they can't stand people. 😟

@Coralmist It's true though, this is how I see most people as well. The self absorbed just seems to get worse

@Coralmist you know, as much as I appreciate each generation evolving, I do think in some regard we're shifting to a culture that's becoming more self involved just differently to the generations prior. "Protecting my peace" and "asserting my boundaries" are reasons being used to avoid accountability. Prior generations have a more "Muh free speech" approach, but it has the same energy.
