Hello I’m 21/male and I’m very sensitive and I get easily hurt by mean people.
I don’t understand why there are so many mean people everywhere in both the real world (like my parents etc.) and online like Reddit/Lemmy.
All I do is exist and ask genuine questions but people criticize the way I talk, live and call me a troll, stupid etc. People online even told me they would be happy if I kill myself.
I fundamentally don’t understand why people are so evil in the first place? Why would they wanna hurt anyone? I could never. If I ever accidentally hurt someone in the slightest I would feel so bad/miserable and do my best to apologize and make it right.
These experiences are the reason why I have fundamental mistrust against humanity and have paranoia towards people.
Especially when I’m interested in another country/culture and hope people might be better there it’s a big disappointment when they’re mean and cruel towards me online cause it makes me feel like many people in that country might be like this too.
It makes me very depressed and disappointed. It really takes away the last hope I have in life.
Is there any country or place where people might be less mean/direct?
Yeah that "go kill yourself is the Internet I grew up with, twenty years ago, and people were much more direct, I’m used to it. I can imagine that for new people arrive in a bit of a scary place when first getting on the internet.
For what it’s worth, it doesn’t mean anything, they’re empty words, always. It’s internet speech, nothing more, nothing can or will harm you
