E, I feel the world is Anti-me. While I know rationally this isnt the case, but emotionally, a big yes. Its the daily struggle I live with. But I think its not really a surprise I feel this way, since life hasnt shown me differently and through these experiences learned that the world/everyone is against me.
But working on changing it, which is hard because its deep seated.
Even (when) I know people who are not against me, and there are plenty of them, I keep thinking the world is/they are against me.
Good poll.

I voted "not sure." Sometimes, of course, I feel like i've been handed the short end of the stick, and break down and cry over why others aren't suffering as much as I, but for the most part I wonder why I am going through all that I am going through, without comparison to others.

Life is what you make of it.

That's commendable.

But I think a lot of people in our position (myself included) experience the "why me?" syndrome.

It's selfish, I know.

But such is the way of human nature.

NO S**T!!! :lol: I have always felt that way, and for the most part it's true, at least half to more than half of people grow up in middle class or better families that give them a new car at 16, send them to college at 18, and everything in life is just handed to them.
