Is it normal to feel you are the only one seeing the real world?

Being in depth here.. I feel like I'm alone in life with my thoughts. Let me give an example .. I'm at my worksite and I see someone do something that was clearly stupid.. And everyone else I asks says that it does not bother them. And I'm just like... How does that not bother you? I have a generalization that no one else in this world can see how.. Bad.. Things are. How ignorant and dumb people can be.. And it just doesn't bother them. How people cater to the homeless that actually aren't homeless for no reason but a personal choice. How people still believe in religion to such an extent that touching yourself is still an issue. I just feel like that the whole world hasn't woken up yet. Like.. They haven't seen all that is going wrong here. I don't know.. Maybe it's just me, but some days I just feel that everyone I talk to or see is just not looking at the whole picture of their lives.
To deliberate.. Is it normal to think that the rest of the world besides yourself has their head in the clouds?

    • I disagree most people seem very stupid and blind to the world.

    It's just arrogance. It'll fade when you grow up. You realize you don't know everything.

    Most of us live in some sort of denial. You probably do too.

    Only you can see the world from your point of view, just like everyone else.

    If you focus on the bad and ugly side of life, that is all you will see.

    and to me, you obviously dont know what a deep thought is. If you want to go deep, then you should try to stick to one thought and flesh out the issue at hand. Are you mad about the homeless situation, a petty workplace issue, or your perceived ignorance of those around you. That’s your ego talking, by the way.

    And your homeless complaint is a typical uneducated and ignorant partial rant of the concept as a whole. You're mad people "cater to the homeless"? As if catering to the homeless makes people want to be homeless. Are you mad that you can see them or that they “sponge” off the system. Maybe you are one of those people who wish to make being homeless a criminal offense. Or maybe you fight for their right to be treated with dignity because they are, in fact, human too. Maybe the rant should expand into the healthcare system. A system that has allowed people with serious mental disorders to fall between the cracks of society because they can’t quite fit in. Yeah, that riles my goat too.

    I think we all feel like that sometimes. It can be difficult to realise that the thoughts in everyone else's heads really are different than ours and we genuinely are alone in the world.

    The best we can do is reach out, try to understand others, and - if not build a bridge - at least try to kindle a pinprick of mutual understanding in the darkness.

  • Everyone is born to make mistakes, to be stupid sometimes... And, without a doubt, you will too.

    You are wasting your energy fretting over the stupidity of others; you only have control over yourself.

    I feel the way you do.
    Most people don't want to see things as they are.
    But its not your issue
    Accept that everyone is different
    Be yourself and use your awareness to make things better
    Maybe by making people more aware....?
    But be careful. It can be interpreted as arrogance (see above)

    • Wow...That was exquisite. I feel like I've been doing a lot of replying in agreement lately. People like this describe my thoughts better than I can and leave me with nothing to say.

    All of us had a different specific outlook over the whole world, and that is pretty normal since even i is pretty much involved to this type of case. I personally sometimes seen other people doing stupid things, seeing dumbs, etc.. And that feelings were also kept asking my mind, what's wrong with them? And the worst part is when i told somebody regarding about that matter and had a response of nothing, like they don't care, which is likewise goes to you. So what i could advice is, regardless of how or what people would tell you about your doing, and even if they are labeling you as a paranoid in which you're continuing this stuffs, what i could advice you is... THAT'S ALRIGHT. Continue with that outlook. You wouldn't know, you may probably discover something's new with that kind of thinking, right? we couldn't tell what will be up ahead. So just continue with that without getting others put behind. Instead, use that concepts and theories regarding about your concept with the world and so that you could encourage people to learn more of it.

    Cheers! :)

    Most people do not see the real world. They only see what they want to see. They see a narrow vision which they make up based on personal culture or religion or what what works in thier country. Most people don't realize that the rest of the world is not the same and the only way to have real morals is to weigh yours against everyone elses. Not one person matters. We are all gears in a giant machine and all of us have a purpose. If we do not help the machine move forward we have failed.
