People Change

Some days I read what people have to say, and my heart gets heavy. The lack of empathy, the judgment, the snobbery, and the disdain hurt my heart. But no one HAS to be like that. They choose to cling to those feelings. People can change. I’ve done it, and I’ve seen it in people within my family. I know there are some here getting discouraged by it. Some don’t care at all, or don’t see it that way. That’s okay too. Just don’t give up on important things, like this place. It’s worth sticking around.

I have read things that not only make my heart heavy, but I fear for their souls. I am grateful for this place and for the wonderful Mylotters here.

Just don't understand it life is tough enough. I have only myself to talk to and now and then I remind myself that there are people out there who have things even tougher than I do and I sure pray for those people,

People are people, and not always the best unfortunately.

@AmbiePam I'm sorry that's happening. I hope it stops happening now.

A lot of people lack empathy and I will never understand that.

I have to agree that this is happening, and it shouldn’t be. It does hurt my heart. We need to be a welcoming community here. I realize that of course not all posts are going to be cheerful and wonderful. But the negativity and undercutting of certain groups of people are not a good thing.

Very true people can change, but they have to want to change to do it. It's just a sad, sad world these days!

You're right. Why be mean cause it just makes the dark darker. Shining a light is a better idea. Sharing a joke is more fun than trying to get a ride out of somebody.

I see so many gaslighting, arguing, name calling, and feeling they are better than others. It is disheartening. We all change and evolve but some just like to stay mean. I like here too. There are so many great people to talk to here and I learn some interesting things too.

This is the biggest downside to all social media sites. People become keyboard warriors and seemingly don't care about their words or how they come across. It can be disheartening for sure.

I'd like to think that people can change. I know that I (finally!) matured as I grew up, although I'm still a work in progress. But while empathy can be taught to a child, I don't know how to explain to an adult that they should care about other people. It seems like a lost cause, but I'm still fighting.

So people open their mouths without knowing what they are talking about and that gets them in trouble.
