Do you ever just feel bad for people?

[imabrat]

I probably sound crazy, but I just feel bad for some people. Like whenever I see someone walking along the road, I feel bad for them. We don't have sidewalks, and I just feel bad because they should at least have a car or public transportation or something. People in Africa? I feel bad for them too. Most of them just look so poor and unhappy and everything.
Homeless people and animals? My weakness. Years ago (I'm so glad I can say that) when I was on chemo, going thru the city we used to see an old homeless man out on the street. I always felt so bad for him. I haven't seen him recently and I've been wondering if he's okay.

Yeah, I mean I know some of these people might be HAPPY with the life they're leading. But still. It's like a natural reaction, I can't help it. I just feel bad.


Okay I'm a freak I know. Go laugh at me now!

No, its a perfectly humane reaction <3

I feel bad for families of victims of suicide.

For the families, absolutely? For the people who kill themselves, I'm kinda callous I guess. I wish they would be able to see that even though we may not know them personally, there are MILLIONS of us out here willing to help make it better. Nothing is EVER worth killing yourself over. I understand though WHY they can't see it but it still annoys me. I can't help it.

 

[AliceinHalloweentown]

I really do consider those who do it victims... so yeah, I feel for them too.

suicides have a break with reality. they honestly feel like they're doing everyone a favor by killing themselves. they feel like no one wants them to get help. and they're hurting so badly inside that the only help, in their mind is to kill themselves.

its very sad. i feel just as bad for the people who kill themselves as their friends and family.

its very sad. i might even feel worse for the people who kill themselves than their friends and family.

Exactly.

That everyone would be better off without them in their lives.. that's a horrible feeling to have

i feel horrible for their families and friends, but i feel bad for the people who do it, too.

i know, that's why i said i know WHY they do it in my post. but it still frustrates me.

Suicide is a terrible thing. I feel for both the victims and the person who committed it. But maybe its different, since my dad sort of did it. I agree with Shelby on the suicide post.

Anyway, yes I do feel bad for people. A lot.
Lately though its been for parents who have like out of control teens or dont know what there out of control teens are doing.

 

[brittanyherdnon85]

I do more then feel bad for them I help them.
Sometimes it is easier then helping my self

I feel bad for all kinds of people, even for 'mundane' things. Like I felt bad for the parents over on the community board who didn't get their children the right presents. Like you know they really tried and put thought into, but it just wasn't right.

And of course I feel bad for people who are experiencing major things, like an illness or homelessness. Especially the people who are really trying their hardest, but just can't get on their feet.

I even feel bad for my cat when I make her get off my bed.

 

[chisnpeke]

I feel bad for certain people over certain things. I always feel bad for animals no matter what. And children. Those are the only two things in the world that are completely innocent.

But grown adults? It depends on the situation. Like I don't feel bad for a lot of homeless people, but a lot of them I do.

I feel bad for people with cancer. People who have difficulties getting pregnant. And for people with mental illness. I also feel bad for people just trying to make it but are having trouble. It's really sad when you keep trying and trying but you can't get anywhere. There are a lot of people I feel very bad for.

I don't feel bad for people who are having issues that they can control but choose not to do anything about it. Or people who bring on issues because of their own stupidity and don't do anything about it but continue to whine about it. Inaction does not make me feel bad for you. I feel bad for people who lose their loved ones.

I guess I'm kind of pathetic. I cry at stupid things sometimes because I feel so bad and people wonder why I'm crying. But then there are things I cry at that would be considered normal things to cry at so I guess I'm normal in that sense.

Same with my dogs! I hate making them move if they are so comfy looking.

this is the exact reason matt and i get squished to one side, while our two pound cat takes over the bed.

I feel bad over ridiculous things sometimes. I feel so sad everytime I watch Winnie the Pooh and he can't get his honey and he just says "Oh bother." It makes me want to hug him and give him some honey. I feel bad when I drop stuffed animals on the ground because I used to act like they were real when I was little, it's a habit. lol.

Of course I feel bad for people with illness and homeless and things as well. Like the pursuit of happyness makes me cry everytime I watch it.

 

[MickeyisBeast]

I'm constantly feeling bad for other people.
Especially elderly people. To add on to that, especially elderly people whos husband/wife died recently. And extremely poor people. I think I feel most bad when I talk about Disney and someone near me hasn't ever been. I also feel bad for my brothers when they do something and get in trouble and I feel I had something to do with it.

I feel kind of sorry for their families, especially if they have spent lots of money on the presents.

haha, i feel sorry for imhumane objects. like.. pencils, and toys

Yes. You would think I'd have my entire queen size bed to myself, but no, I share it with four pets, lol.

Mentally disabled kids that aren't disabled enough to be in the care of an assistant. They generally get ignored, and you see them walking around the hallways all lonely. They make me sad.

Old people who are the mall, or maybe an event alone. I saw an old guy all alone on Canada day in Ottawa, and you could tell he really wanted to see the musical ride (a group of RCMP ride horses to music). Nobody would budge for him, and he had no family or friends with him. He looked lonely, and he was like a little kid trying to see.
