I'm really tired of people these days... I find myself hating them more and more. No, it isn't due to politics, though that is annoying. It's worse than that for me. What I'm most upset by, is the near total apathy I encounter everyday.

I've always wanted to meet people, and make many good friends. Have people be as interested in me as I am in them, that is to say, a lot. I draw people the most because I like them, and I like the uniqueness of their appearance. I'm not a social person however. I try my best despite this, but to no use at all.

I've studied religions and cultures and try to understand people's hobbies, and whenever I talk to them, I make sure to primarily focus on them, and what they do and how they feel.

I'm just an average looking guy. 6'1, Blond, Blue Eyed American. I don't consider it unattractive but I don't seem to attract anyone either. It's becoming very frustrating to deal with people. I go to events at school all the time, hoping that I will be able to make new friends, and it never pans out. Every time I talk to someone, they usually end up ignoring me after a while, despite my best efforts to interest them. The friends I do have half-ass everything, including texting. Everyday I ask them how they are, how they feel about things, and I help them with their problems. But they never help me with mine, let alone ask me how i'm doing.

It's at this point where I just begin to hate most people. I hate that I can't seem to figure out why people who know very little about the world or others hobbies seem to always come out on top. Rarely do they care for the well being of the other person, yet these people are among the most popular. I have seen time and time again, people getting used by others and then they ask me for emotional support. I provide it for them, and then they leave, never once helping me with my issues.

What's wrong with me? Why am I not good enough for people?
