People will ignore you. Not everyone will consider you an important part of their life. It just means they care about their emotions more than they care about yours.
If they look peaceful, that's usually a calming action. Diffuse emotions and avoid social conflict. They are being triggered by a source of fear, possibly someone who is holding onto rage, thinking how stupid, selfish, and spineless they are.
If you find people to be stupid, selfish, and spineless quite often, then one of two things might be true. You are a gifted genius, altrustic to a degree that you hold people to a higher standard, and not compassionate enough to notice how casually rude you act toward people, or you might be encountering people who are reflecting what they are getting.
I have also noticed people would rather have a mansion full of **** handed to them than a shelf full of things they've earned. Where does this pathetic and socially unevolved disposition arise from? It's too wide spread to be individually psychological.
Well, this socially "unevolved" evolutionary trait comes a glitch in mixing human imaginative power, and the ancient biological drive to survive. Every single person is taught to build a goal that will help society, and having stuff has almost always been a sign of success. Whether it's stuff you made or a mansion full of asterisks. We all tell ourselves stories about what is important. Some people think it's a large home, others a pile of asterisks, and others say nothing is important but what you earned. They're all different interpretations of our survival instinct. For some people, a large home means stability to survive in their world. For others, asterisks means being able to avoid words frowned upon by our lord political correctness.
Hell I don't know about you all but I make it a goal to be straight with people as well as do things to help others with no reward other than self respect.
How's that working out for other people? You seem to be really ****** off by the fact no one else seems to try or care.
Actually I don't think it's a stretch at all. The whole political correctness is simply insane. I understand it to an extent obviously, but these days it's wrong to even say you don't like someone, to say someone is wrong or mistaken, etc.
These days? I don't think it's ever been considered polite or civil to say you don't like someone, or someone is wrong or mistaken. I know people who said, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all." And they said it decades before political correctness was a thing.
Based on your casual use of insane and accusations of spinelessness, I think the problem might be more in how and why you tell people you don't like them, and how and why you tell them you disagree with them. I don't think the all knowing, all powerful and "insane" institution of political correctness is quite as involved as it feels to be. I think you're more concerned about appearing like a straight shooter than the people you are shooting at.
Think more about why you do what you do, and less about why other people do what they do. It will serve you well.
