>tfw you have Manic Pixie Dream Girl syndrome
>tfw you want to be there for everyone who's starved for love
>tfw you can't because you have your own problems and yourself to look out for
>tfw a lot of the people you try to befriend end up turning out to be shitty and toxic anyway
When I read a post on 4chan where someone says that all they need is somebody to show them care and companionship, my heart hurts. It's like seeing a pitbull puppy in the pound. You know nobody's going to adopt it. You know it's lonely and that it never had a chance in this world. You want to take it home and make it feel loved, but you know deep down that it'd probably turn on you one day and rip out your neck.
I know that people aren't projects and that you should never try to "fix" them, but goddamnit. When you see someone in need, isn't it only right to want to reach out and try to pull them out of their hole? Isn't that just human? How does anyone just overlook another person's suffering without feeling something?
In my mind, I despise people, but in my heart, I have all these gross feelings.
