I think that it's true that oftentimes, people without certain problems in their life are indifferent to or lack sympathy towards problems in other peoples' lives.
I would, however, argue, that by not showing them sympathy, calling them sheeple and shit, they were right not to have shown you any, either.
That's why I always make an effort to be sympathetic or empathetic to others until they show a lack of empathy or sympathy to me, at which point I stop for a while, based on how important the situation was.
I also think that "Normal" is the wrong word for this. Maybe "privileged" or something? "Functional?"
Same difference, and still solvable by understanding and sympathy above assuming and name calling.
People who choose not to take the effort to look at things from the other side of the fence aren't worth the time it'd take to walk there. Which side of the fence it is doesn't really matter.
Maybe they just don't understand, and you're too busy being offended at the lack of support to explain? Usually it's when people ignore my explanations that I consider it a breach and cut off my side of the support network, since it seems like these sorts of things usually grow from misunderstandings.
I hate normal people.

Words of wisdom. But It's not just about problems in life, it's about the way of life and beliefs. They don't accept my way of life.
