When I was in high school, I was such a happy go lucky guy. I loved everybody and had such a good heart. I would look for the positive in every person and everything.

As time went on, my mentality changed a lot. I got my heart broken, had a few friends and family members die, and basically lost sight of any reason to live.

I'm not in that deep depression anymore, but I was thinking about it and realized that I am slowly becoming a bitter person. Bitter about the way people have treated me in the past. Bitter about losing people close to me for no reason. Bitter about how people will take advantage of anybody with a good heart. Bitter about how fucked up the world is and how most people have to live through hell while a few people live it up.

I feel like I'm becoming so desensitized to everything. I haven't been able to have real feelings for a girl in years (I've even tried to force myself). I find that I don't really care about anything that much. The older I become the more disillusioned I become. IIN?

    Life's experiences will either make you bitter or force you to become appreciative. It's really up to you how you choose to look at life. I understand how you feel and sometimes I feel like this, but I make myself look for the good and try my best to stay positive. Really being happy doesn't come naturally, it is a choice.

    maybe you didn't get over depression if you think this way...you've lost the joy of living. there's nothing worse. i suffered to and i'm still suffering but i could never be disinterested of life. pain is my strenght and i won't allow it to bring me down.so i get up every morning ready to make my life better and if i will be disappointed, it won't be my fault...so open your heart to the world and let it pass through your soul...don't be afraid of being disappointed.just do it! please do it!
    don't deny this gift called "life"

    Normal but try to learn from your experiences instead of allowing them to make you bitter. Use them as a step up and not crutch.

    When I get in a down mood I think this way and I just hate the world.. I kind of know how you feel. Everyone says that's just how the world is and deal with it, suck it up, etc. or do something about it.
