How do I get past this feeling?

I feel like no matter how good I am to others, it will never be fully and genuinely returned.

I can be straight and honest with a perfect stranger. Because it's the right thing to do.

I feel like people really don't care.

Yea, that sounds about right.

People are mostly self-centred, some because of struggle, others because they're just naturally that way and have never been taught different.

I think it's better if people don't care, it's less anxiety inducing. It just means you can relax, and see what you get away with.

Be the observer, not the experiment.

Some people get so used to being full of shit, they even convince themselves.

@SnailTeeth convince themselves that stealing, snitching and putting someone down is ok? That being just a bad person is ok? That's so bad. I can't understand it. Smh.

@Nevaeh0081 Most people find justifications, one way or another. Trauma generally creates trauma, but it could also just be a genetic defect. I hear ya tho, it's a total mindjob.

Inflexible morality can be part of Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder. Meaning, even people who are lawfully good can also be considered just as imbalanced. The world is a crazy place.

I'll throw in ASPD as a bonus:
