I think I figured out why people say growing up sucks as much as it does. I think it& #39;s really just seeing everything you loved change into what it is. And unfortunately it& #39;s not always for the best.
It& #39;s always disheartening seeing people you knew that played a part in your childhood become this horrible person you never thought you knew. It always has you questioning if you were ever right to believe they were a good person.
I& #39;m not talking about anyone in particular, it& #39;s just i& #39;ve seen, and i& #39;m sure many other people have seen this trend you thought were cool turning out to be horrible people. Part of me wants to feel like shit everytime I see a name I recognize being outed as a horrible person.
Another part of me wants to feel bad for them too depending on the situation. Maybe it& #39;s just bias or maybe it& #39;s just me not wanting to admit that at one point I trusted this person was cool and not a total ass.
Either way part of me wants to believe these people are just going through a rough patch and that their intent was never to harm. Or maybe it was but they understand now why what they were doing was horrible.
I know how it feels considering till this day I often struggle with really figuring out my own identity. So a part of me wants to feel bad and relate, but it really muddies the water when the people you thought aren& #39;t going through tough times and instead...
have always been this way. Have always been so fake and putting on an act for the sake of taking advantage of others for their own success. These leeches make it that much harder to feel any sympathy.
I don& #39;t know why it& #39;s so hard for some people to just be real and just be good people. I want to treat everyone I meet as friendly but I only increasingly get more paranoid about people the more it happens.
Again, i& #39;m not speaking about anyone in particular, i& #39;m just speaking about the whole trend of people being outed as awful human beings. I& #39;m sure many can relate to how it feels to know people who you knew and looked up to as a child turned out being rats.
But hey, never meet your heroes right?
There are a lot of typos in this thread dammit. Sorry I was just going off whatever was on my mind.
