Okay, I’m exaggerating a bit…but not completely. People confuse me and I hate that experience would be more accurate.
My mom raised me with this idealist view of people and the world. She definitely meant well and wanted me to focus on what is possible instead of what’s wrong. Unfortunately walking out on my own into the real world has been a horrifying experience for someone looking for good only.
Humans are inherently flawed creatures; I fall I to this category. Most in my general environment seem pessimistic to the point that they create their own feared realities. Looking for the bad in someone and drawing that bad out of them. Expecting to fail and failing because they didn’t prepare for success. All of them seem foolish until you realize that you’re doing the same damn thing too 😒
Maybe that frustration with people is more of an internal conflict that hasn’t been brought to the surface. Maybe if I deal with my own perceived inadequacies my outcomes will be different. Maybe if if was a fifth we would all be drunk.
How about this, maybe people just suck…and I’m people too.

I agree. You notice your flaws though. I do too. Some shit I absolutely recognize about myself and can’t change. I just do my best to limit my bad decisions impact on other people.
