I alienate myself from society on purpose. Most people just aren't worth associating with.
There is more than one society though. There are hundreds, thousands. I'm guessing there is a certain one you feel excluded from, though

Man, I tell you what. I wouldn't trade my life for nothing. The joy the pain, the heartbreak, the triumphs, but I've always known I was put on this planet for a greater purpose and I still am trying to figure out what that is.
Why would I do that when there is better to come?
That's the thing, people think life just "ends". No, you're still living, still breathing, still working on yourself, trying to be a better individual than the last day and a better individual tomorrow.
I dealt with depression, thought about shyt like that, not even worth it. Things get better depending on your output and willingness to make things better. You don't see shyt get better if you don't do shyt with your life. You have to actively change your life situation.
And sometimes, that drive and will to become a better person might not resonate with others, resulting in that feeling of alienation. But that's a good thing cause it allows self-reflection.
I've been on that tip. I got to get mine. No one's gonna give it to you. And being a black man in this country adds that additional stress where people are actively trying to get in your way of being successful cause they threatened. This country will alienate you if you let it.
I was out in Pittsburgh with my family at the mall on black friday, everyone's in their little own world, it's like almost impossible to get through to people anymore. It makes me want to avoid being social and work on myself more.
Facts.
Being broke will fukk you up mentally and physically in so many ways. And in this society, damn it can even be traumatizing. I hate that we allow it to get to this point, but I feel there's only so much we can do as a society. And that's another alienating element. That feeling that you're not really "in" that crowd, you're moreso observing it from a distance and not really actively engaging in it.
Ain't that the truth.
I don't neccessarily feel excluded, persay, but definitely existing in a form somewhat independent of the larger mass.

Breh it feels soooooo much better when you just stop giving a fukk about what people think and just do what you want
This a thousand times.
It's funny in this environment, how we have all of this advanced communication technology to connect us to each other and we still find it odd of discomforting to talk to people in real life. It's really done a number on us.
yea. Not giving a fukk is indeed very liberating.@Sagat
