Is it normal that i doubt humanity to this degree?

Basically, I'm massively cynical, somewhat untrusting (but not without cause) but generally extremely friendly despite this. I always see the worst in people and find it hard to believe people about things, although its all in my head as I'm very passive. I just think constantly that I don't understand why people do the things they do, and on occasion I worry that I must be so abnormal to either differ in behavioural tenancies and attitude from people around me. It's really not an arrogance thing, I don't perceive myself to be better than anyone. I just feel really fucked up sometimes because I just feel like I can't comprehend so much human behaviour.

    I was raised in a Military family. My entire family are a bunch of druggies but not my parents (at least at that point) and I was taught to the letter of the law. I deviated very little (I smoke pot and I screwed in high school but that's about it) and steered clear of people when I knew they were using or possesing, more out of instinct really.

    Some folks, however, grow up in households where having children at 16, dressing like a clubber at 12, using drugs, smoking this, drinking that and screwing whoever is normal. I was so confused when I moved into the ghetto at how any of this was seen normal. Then, one day, I saw a man driving in my neighborhood to his house, drinking a bootlegger while driving as his toddler was in the backseat and his girlfriend smoked a cigarette in the front seat. And it all made sense.

    Everyone has different standards. That is what makes it very difficult for you to have trouble understanding what other people do, considering you and said people probably have different ideas of right and wrong, and there is where the trouble lies.

    idk, I can understand why people do and say the things they do to an extent. There are a lot of things to think about. What kind of behaviors do you mean?

    You know, I see where you're coming from. Society sucks. But I think its all about your outlook on life. I started looking on the bright side because you only get to live once. Might as well enjoy it
