[ i think we've discussed this before, but oh well. the thread about what you hear when you go out made me write this. i thought about what do you see when you go out, and i thought about how i love seeing empty streets and how i love feeling like i own the sidewalk. ] ..you're walking around your city, to get somewhere, or maybe to buy something, and all you see is this mass of braindead idiots, windowlicking the shit out of every goddamn store, stopping on the middle of the street when you walk behind them, drive over your feet with baby carriages, or just plain walk like zombies even if they're not 90 yrs old yet? sometimes i think i'm the ONLY one there who is walking there for a purpose. i walk to get somewhere (not slow, not fast, but plain, simple, decisive walking speed). i go into a store to look for something, then buy it or not. but these people just seem to wander around with no purpose as if they have nothing better to do and this goes on EVERY day. sometimes i feel like i'm from another planet when i get stuck in such a mass of people. it's like i'm the only one who has to be careful where to walk. the only one people dont go out of the way for. as if they all want to walk right through me. now, as i'm the one person out of the whole crowd there to complain, i suppose this is my problem and i need to deal with it. and okay, that's fine, but i'm still right, and one day i will buy an axe and totally flip out like a ninja. i think i will go for a walk in the woods today, and get pissed off over people walking their fucking dogs, without having them on the leash, letting them shit all over the place, letting them near me, when i'm there to calm the fuck down and enjoy the SILENCE. discuss. |

I think that people should need to have a licence to push a trolly in a supermarket |

public places scare me. except for gigs - i only get to see cool people there. |

yeah, seeing other people walk around in public places can be quite alienating and scary... |

actually i don't mind that much about what you said but whenever they're someone coming my way (or if i'm alone in the street except a few people, when those few people get close walking my way) i always get a bit nervous. a tiny bit most of the time, but still a bit. i like a lot an empty street as well. |

i agree on almost everypart, excep the dog part, dogs are lovely you're just afraid of them i guess |

I agree with all you say there, though I think the trouble is, I got so pissed off with people never getting out of the way, that I stopped ever getting out of the way, so I guess now, I just add to tthe problem, and I wonder how many other people came to this same, sad, sorry conclusion. |

yeah, dogs rule. |

im quite small myself but whenever i feel like it i walk in a straight line, deliberatly ignoring other people. when im in the center of a city i tend to cross a road without bothering about the lights, cars will stop for you anyway. |

your replies are pretty satisfying. thanks. i feel better now. fact remains though, i don't know why this upsets me so much. the thing is, i'm really patient with people in general, and i love taking things (very) slowly at times, if not being downright lazy. A psychologist once told me (i no longer talk to him), i'm taking out my anger on people that are lazily wandering around, whenever i go 'shopping', to tell myself that these people are stupid and wasting time for no reason, BECAUSE i like to be lazy and unproductive myself, and therefore, at that point, realizing that i SHOULD be more active myself, projecting my frustration/anger on other people. or something. dunno how to put it but you get the idea. this may well be true. but i still think it's better to be unproductive and lazy at home, than at a place where you're around so many people. the fact that none of 'these' people seem to care, makes it pretty obvious to me that a) they arent even aware of it b) they just don't care which then leads me to the following conclusion: all these people (yes i love to generalize) are a bunch of dumb, unconscious, braindead sheep, imitating one another and telling themselves this is normal behaviour because everyone else is behaving like that too. anyway, i'm talking too much again, and as i'm usually pretty quiet, i suppose it's time to calm down. just have to get it off my chest. now i'm thinking i'm overreacting a lot. but i dont always do. see i'm being my own shrink here. it helps. thanks for listening |

I think, I mean I don't know, I just think that are lot of people just aren't aware that their actions, even trivial ones like stopping dead without warnhing in the high street, have consequences on other people, a lot of people lack spatial awareness, a lot of people don't notice being pushed, shoved, or that someone else might be in the way, and therefore it doesn't occur to them to be mindful of other people around them. It's only sensitive twats like ourselves who let it get to us. I am still cross about a bloke who jumped in front of me in a queue in a shop about 4 months ago. If I think about it I have that pointless "what I should have said was..." conversation in my poor, under-utilised brain. Oh well, chin up. |

Aye, i feel like that sometimes, especially in this little dead-end town. The solution for me is just to sit down and take a break, maybe have a cig, just watch the people go by and listen in to their conversations. Sometimes it's depressing, sometimes it's interesting, and sometimes it's just really fucking funny. I was sat near some teenie-goths today (maybe 13-14) on my lunchbreak at work... they were playing "truth or dare" in town, and the sexual tension within the group was so obvious and unsubtle it just made me laugh. Peoplewatching can be awesome... if you watch long enough you realize that we're all equally stupid, and people don't really bother you as much. |

I have a desire to chop your head off when you post shit like this! |

When you get older, maybe you'll turn into them and learn that it's the little things like mindless droning in a supermarket that really detatch yourself from life |
