I feel so alone in a black hole of emptiness and nothingness. I feel the pain of others so intensely my head is screaming, I want it to stop.
Anna,
I'm so sorry you're feeling this way, at this time. And I'm going to try to dispel some of that "stinkin' thinkin" going on in your mind.
People just ignore everything that goes on around them, like horses with blinkers on.
First off, Anthony wouldn't have set up this website if he didn't care, right? Second, I care otherwise I wouldn't have responded to your post. Third, others care, which will be evidenced by additional replies you get from your post. By the way, I'm glad you posted so that the people here, at least, can show you others do care!
if you are nice, you get used because that is the way it is right? people are shit
If one is nice, it's because they're nice. Their niceness can come from one's general personality or from being motivated because they want something from you - and that can be due to a sense of self-preservation. What you posted did not sound "nice" but I understand you're hurting, and I'm generally (not always tho) a nice person so I'm trying to show, hopefully, that your thinking in black and white terms isn't helpful. When someone isn't "nice" generally people will be repelled because people, more often than not, want to gravitate towards pleasant experiences. My job/Your job is to knowing one's self better so that I/you can intuit when someone's niceness is simply an act because they want something then chose whether it's in my/your best interest to give. This goes to putting yourself first and foremost - you have to say "no" sometimes, to others, and to parts in yourself that gravitates to the black and white thinking.
It's true - a lot of "bad" things happen in the world and there are a lot of people who are nasty, uncaring, revengeful, unhelpful and self-centered. But within that world there are others who are compassionate, peaceful, helpful, and care about others - align yourself with those values so that you may feel some appreciation for (maybe only a few) "good" things that are part of your life and feel compassion towards yourself. Talk with others here or on other forums, and in your life, that do care and distinguish yourself away from the "users" -
You deserve love, respect, affinity with caring people, and to put yourself first so that some of your pain can be alleviated.
I believe that love surrounds us, but it is up to me to first practice loving myself. From that I can give love, tell others what I need to feel love coming to me, and receive love from others.
Tell us what you need that would help you out of that black hole.
Big ((((hugs))) to you Anna.
