***TRIGGER WARNING**** DONT READ IF YOU ARE SENSITIVE****

Yes, but it's not for personal reasons. My life is fine, I have many amazing people in it and who inspire and delight me. I have of course had people lie, hurt, and betray me in my life, and who were not the best of people, but I have forgiveness for them and no hard feelings. I believe in individuals, it is the species of humanity that I do not have faith in.

***TRIGGER WARNING**** DONT READ IF YOU ARE SENSITIVE****

My lost faith in humanity is more of a big-picture thing. The reason being all the killing, suffering, torture, human trafficking, rape, sexual assault, child abuse, racism/hate/bigotry, animal abuse, animal exploitation, human exploitation, destruction of the environment/forests/oceans/reefs/&c.

Every moment there are people out there torturing cats, pulling the skin off of animals alive and leaving them to die, cutting the fins off of sharks and leaving them to die, hurting and killing just to do it (sometimes for food, but often just sadism), torturing children, raping children and others who are getting paid to provide children to be raped literally just keeping children in cages and getting money to send them off to be raped then back in the cage until it's raping time again tomorrow. Animals born into cages and kept in cages for years, just fed until time to cut their throats, just a life of years of misery ending in early death.

So yeah, it's the facts of life. The way humanity is as a whole, the atrocities that are committed by humans every day and are continuing to happen. The fact that nothing is changing and there are even many people who laugh about it and think it's funny. It just shows we as a species are selfish, greedy, lazy, and don't give a shit about anything or anyone unless it's a part of our own very small ecosystem of ourselves and our loved ones or personal pets.

done by humans, this fox lays alive and skinless

Humans have different perspectives on the concept of humanity, which can include the shared characteristics and qualities of being human, such as the ability to think, feel and communicate. Some may also view humanity as a collective consciousness or moral responsibility to care for each other and the planet. Others may question the existence of a unified humanity, given the diversity and complexity of human societies and experiences. There is debate and disagreement among humans about the extent of moral responsibility to care for each other and the planet. Some people believe that humans have a strong moral responsibility to care for the well-being of other humans and the planet, while others believe that individual responsibility and self-interest should be prioritized. Some people also believe that moral responsibility is shared by individuals, communities, and governments. Ultimately, it is a complex issue with many different perspectives and opinions. It is difficult to estimate the exact number of people who feel a moral responsibility to care for each other and the planet, as it likely varies depending on factors such as cultural and personal beliefs. However, many people around the world do feel a sense of responsibility to protect and support their communities and the environment. This can manifest in various ways, such as through volunteering, activism, and conscious consumption choices.

Yes. Same as you.

I have been betrayed by so many people. People I loved and cared about.

My sister hurt me deeply. She spread many vicious lies about me and bullied me most of my life. We don't speak now after she threatened my life. All out of jealousy. I'd always forgive her and and be there for her, but she totally destroyed me inside

I was also in a physically abuse relationship for years. I suffered mental, emotional and physical abuse. He beat me so badly one time that he broke my ribs and knocked out 3 of my teeth. I had to undergo surgery because of it.

Every person that's entered my life has turned out to be either a narcissist or had psychopathic tendencies. I'm not a poor judge of character. I'm an empath and perceptive. I just ways looked over red flags because I believed in giving people a chance and forgiving people. Not now though.

I have countless stories to tell. My mum often says she admires me because I'm strong. It irritates me when she says that i'm strong, because I'm not. I have depression, panic disorder and anxiety due to all I've been through. I'm just a shell of a person becauase I'm deeply wounded. If I was strong, I'd be a happy and mentally healthy person. Other people's treatment of me wouldn't have changed who I am.

The person i miss most in my life is the person I used to be. My old self. But she doesn't exist anymore.

I've never met one decent human during my life so far. I believe they exist. I just haven't crossed paths with them, because they're few and far between.

It's a mix for me, but the thing I've lost faith in is mostly men when they're able to act without a filter, AKA being anonymous online or being rich enough to avoid consequences. A lot of it just has to do with seeing how much my being a woman turns into objectification when interacting with men in anonymous or online spaces and how little I matter to them unless I can fulfill their sexual desires. But I also know this behavior only happens when there's no consequences and they don't care.

I don't want to believe they don't care at all, but rather that they're placed into an environment where they're encouraged not to that prompts this behavior. I still want to have hope that people can be good.

Yes I have completely lost faith. I just learned the police doesn’t have to protect citizens and apparently there’s been court cases in different states where the Supreme Court says clearly “Police have no duty to protect the public”. So I just wonder, why do the public, citizens, innocent, guilty, hell everyone pays taxes to THEM and for what reason. I am just confused regarding the entire police department even the Supreme Court. Especially considering the fact that the police murders people for fun and get away with it. I mean I knew the police sucked and now it makes sense, they’re doing exactly what they’re supposed to do: allow crime, hide from it even but also commit crime themselves. They are worshipped and for what reason? I am so confused here lol

The news has contributed to me losing faith in humanity. The terrible things people are out there doing to each other and the cold heartless bullshit of daily violence and especially all the kids being beaten and abused or sexually assaulted , all those things tend to make a person lose faith. But i dont think its too late to fix it somehow if everyone would start doing something kind for a stranger and pass it on, etc. Those small acts of humanity would go a long way

ryancg · Answer

Yeah, plenty of people who I thought were my friends have taken advantage of me and used me, only to leave me high and dry. Just a couple of years ago, a girl who I loved and I thought loved me used and abused me more than anyone else had ever done. She manipulated and gaslighted me and even beat on me on more than one occasion. I can't bring myself to lay hands on a female so I just let her do it. The bruises and black eyes hurt, but what hurt the most was that someone who I loved and had never been anything but kind, caring, and honorable towards could do something like that to me, that killed me.

I'm not sure if I've lost all faith, but I've discovered that 75% of people are just plain stupid, and it's terrifying how that affects our world.

And I'm not blaming women, but I've lost faith in falling in love since it seems like all the good options are gone. I'd have to go on an epic quest to others cities, states, or countries to find a good girl because so few around here actually want to be good people.

I lost faith in humanity over 20 years ago, I’ve never liked people even as a kid I’ve always thought they were to stupid to bother with and with convid and this plandemic I can see why I felt that way, people are stupid and will literally go along with anything being told to them.

Guaranteed not all people are like this as I’ve seen in my telegram groups I’m in but there’s more stupid people than smart people in my opinion.

Humanity is lost. Just think about the state of our world and you'll see what I mean. I know that evil exists, that we have a lot of sh***y people in the world, people are able to do the worst possible things that a human being can do to another. But I still believe that we have some wonderful people in this planet. They're just rare.

OddBeMe · Answer

I take a lot of jobs online. And never have gotten scammed before. I still kick myself. They sent me a check that the bank said wasn’t a scam. And then had me pay talent for a photo shoot. And since the check cashed, I thought all was well. Then of course the bank found it was a scam a few hours too late.

I tried suing the bank for telling me the check wasn’t fraudulent but dropped it. Why spend good money after bad, my lawyer told me.

I've lost it when I was a child. Especially how bad I was treated as a child growing up.

CallmeTheKnight · Answer

I never lost faith in humanity because I am kind to those who come into my life. I've been cheated on, lied to, robbed, and manipulated, but I make the decision that's best for me

Yes, i lost it when I was just born while a hand I don't know slapped my butt

LiamJHayden · Answer

I have not. Why would I judge 8 billion people for what a few idiots have done?

Anonymous · Answer

I was abandoned at home because I was not wanted child. Besides that I have read the bible it says human heart is the most rotten thing in the world and they only plan bad things since the birth. I believe that.
