Does anyone think they are "Special" or "higher up" than more people? I dont mean something like "Im better than you". Its just the past couple of years, i feel i am ment do to something extrodinary, something that have never been done. Nothing like be the first person on mars e.t.c or even curing cancer, but something really just "Wow". I feel im ment to find something or someone to help others. This sounds bad, but when i look at everyone i know or even anyone i see, who is still living in the same town they were born at 30 years old and still in the same job, i just feel that they have not acheived anything and i feel sorry for them. I know this is not all true becuase most of them feel they have done something in their lives. Anyone feel the same or am alone? There is more i want to say but i dont like typing.
I absolutely feel the same way....or used to. My biggest and almost only fear was ending up as these people you described (like you said they arent bad ppl, and probably feel better about their lives than many).. But all that thinking and worrying got to me eventually (won't go into details)...And I came to the realization that I should just enjoy life as it is, stop worrying and accept whatever life throws at me...and Iam happier with myself that way.
I 100% feel that way - and i reckon so do most people. The difference between losers and winners in life are those who put the work behing achieving something making them successful. The losers are just those who wait for their special time to come. Sorry for the functionalist spin on things but there we go!
Yeah I feel that way. I feel I'll be some sort of Radical Activist Guru. Rallying the whole, entire world into facing the reality of life and making it more peaceful.
i hear you. i always felt i had to be better than others. i am not arrogant or anything , but i know i am smarter than most people i know. and some hate the fact that an "immigrant" can come to their town and country , achieve more and become someone respected. this keeps me going.
I believe everybody has this feeling. We are all put here for a reason, we each have a purpose and an inner feeling about what you need to achieve in this lifetime. The problem is, alot of people dont listen to their inner voice and never end up doing that special thing. So my only advice is, listen to that feeling, do those special, amazing things you feel you were born to do! Reach for it, and it will happen! But something which does get to me when it comes to some people i know, is that just because theive found their 'purpose' they think they are better, more enlightened, than others. Its really not true. We are all humans, we are all here for the same reason. Nobody is better than anybody else
I think that, not only am I meant to do something amazing, but to also do it without the burden of typical human emotion. Indignation is motivation, in my world, and nothing else exists. I think I feel less connected to other people than anyone else.
Nope. Not I. No more special than 99.99% of folks. The other 00.01% are like Sister Teresa or whatever.
I feel that I am different to most people in that I spend alot of time in my own head. I feel like I am superior in lots of ways, but actually not very well suited to success in life in our current society eg. money, friends, love etc. I often imagine that I am like a sleeper agent, waiting for some big cataclysm to happen and when it does, I will fullfil my destiny and become some kind of God figure because I have all the right attributes in my psyche, whereas 99% of normos will be destroyed or go mad. I don't think you should be too critical of the people working in the same jobs in the same town for 30 years. They may be happy and you may not be if you have such a need to seek something else. Also, it's unfair to judge people by your standards if they are disadvantaged by opportunity in life. Something bad could happen to you. Your dreams could be shattered and you could end up living out the last 30 years of your life shovelling shit to earn a living. I hope it doesn't, but it would not make you a lesser person if it did.
Truly wise people realize that everyone is connected as one being. To think you are somehow not included with everyone else and are on another level will surely bring you crashing down in manifested hell. I sincerley hope that you "wonderful" people gather your wits and realize that true wisdom is to admit that you know nothing.
I never claimed to be enlightened, but all of this self love is sickening. Who hasnt thought at one point that they are better than the rest of the world? EVERYbody is important to themselves, but as we grow we need to be taught that in order for the world to work we need to be in harmony. In other words, someone had to say it, and that someone just happened to me. Though I think nothing special of my contribution to this thread, Im just sharing the truth, if you dont accept it as truth, then by all means, dont. But see where this self love gets you in the future. I guarentee it will be quite lonley and filled with regret
well hell, i don't even like myself and my life is lonely and filled with regret. maybe the lesson is to love yourself, just no more than anybody else. or maybe the lesson is just not to be me. or, most likely there is no lesson and we're just here wasting our time until we die, at which point it won't mean shit what we thought of ourselves or anybody else anyway.
I seroiusly think thiers something in the water where I live, I've never seen masses of people acting half-retarted before. People around here do so much ignorant shit, and don't even realize when they make a mistake.
So true. I did more acid than I meant to at Jam this Sunday and for about 15 minutes I was freaking out because I felt SO SO SO isolated and alone compared to everyone else. It was truly awful, but luckily this girl came and helped me out
quote - 'true wisdom is to admit that you know nothing. 'might want to keep that in mind yourself, enlightened one' I hate this. Cant a guy say something good and true and helpful without being attacked? He isn't the egotist man, just because he has some wisdom and is trying to share it. An egotist refuses to admit he can learn from someone else.
