Ever feel like every one is against you?

When you have to go out for errands and not in the mood, seems like a lot happens.
Someone walks out in front of your car looking at their phone not paying attention. You trip and almost fall.
Checker in the store isn't in a good mood, she doesn't give you time to put your change
back in your wallet because she's ringing up next customers groceries change falls on the floor. All kinds of little things
not going smoothly, well that was my day, along with dropping my bananas....so decided to get on home.

I don't feel that everyone is against me but I definitely do experience days when everything goes wrong, particularly in traffic. I bike just about everywhere I go and some days anything that can go wrong ... does. I'm not superstitious but I confess to interpreting them as "bad days" and I may decide to go straight home again and stay put till tomorrow.

Unfortunately, we living in a world with a lot of hate, confusion and misery.
Everybody is having a struggle of some sort but how they react causes trouble with others. Some just do not know how to have compassion for others.
This is especially shown through the business of the season. I try to shop early in order to avoid being confronted with such people. More peaceful that way.

I agree. A lot of people do not know how to handle suppressed/repressed emotions. They have years and years of built up suppressed emotions and do not know how to release it in a positive manner.
 
Ladybj, I agree with your assessment of humanity and the need for empathy, but it is difficult to agree that everyone who is acting erratically is going through a crisis.

I went to the grocery store today and there was a guy in his 30's who was typing on his phone and was standing in the entrance, blocking people from going in. He didn't look like he had anything serious going on in his life, although who am I to judge? I also see many people on the phones who are driving all over the road, out of their lanes and crossing several lanes to make a turn. I'd like to think they are reacting to something going on in their lives, but I agree with Irwin's comment that many are just being stupid... or maybe self-absorbed might be a better description. As much as would like to take the high road, I'll bet they are talking about dinner plans rather than life issues.

Smart move honey
 
Not so sure about the 'everyone against me', but I do have days when I've gone out,
or started doing something and wished I hadn't - the kind of days I think I shouldn't
have bothered getting out of bed ! :)
 
I've felt a lot that heredity is against me (the dna I got stuck with) and I don't mean the emotional stuff because I think there is at least some validity to "cheer yourself up", "don't sweat the small stuff", "snap out of that bad mood", etc. Instead, I'm talking about physical stuff that one is born with and numerous medical professionals have said I have to live with.
