Re: So I'm one of "those" people

People talk about "lives" and what they actually mean is "the lives of humans, mammals, and other animal species I recognize" and make a distinction between the lives of the aforementioned and every other kind of plant, fungus, usually insect, et cetera lives that exist in the world from the get-go, then try to claim every one is equal.

Most of the life on Earth didn't occur to OP right now or even count as "lives." They're already negating their own beliefs here, or they'd be crying at every wheat plant that went into the bun of their burger. Clearly some lives aren't as valuable as others...

Someone told me this once after having a panic attack about death and I told them I'd seriously quit eating anything that wasn't fruit then since fruits are the only thing not "alive" and meant to be eaten, and then they got mad at me for it because "that's not how it works."

So basically no matter what I do I can't win, people will get mad at me no matter what and I feel like a fucking piece of shit.

I hate myself for caring so much I wish I was a careless person.

Uh not to be intrusive here but maybe you should see someone about this issue of yours. It doesn't sound safe or sane, the lengths you go to.

There are comfortable spaces between caring too much and not caring at all. The fact that you aren't acknowledging that is telling on its own.

Dude, if it's actually this bad, you need therapy. You've probably recognized by now that you have issues in terms of how much you react to stuff to the point where it is actively interfering in your ability to live a normal life. If nothing else the way everyone else is responding should highlight the fact that you aren't able to cope the way you are with modern society and aren't able to live without constant stress. It's perfectly possible to care about stuff but also cope with caring about stuff. Stop implying other people don't care - they do, they just deal with it a damn sight better than you're doing now.

You sound exactly like those people who are all 'I have had tons of horrible relationships and they were all bad and I WISH I WAS ASEXUAL BECAUSE THEN I WOULDNT HAVE TO BE IN ANY' - that's not how any of this works. You think that if you didn't are you'd be less affected. That's stupid, because what you're really saying is 'I wish I didn't have to encounter the realities of life so much / I wish I didn't have to confront the fact that I have issues with coping with normal life so much'.

Seriously. Therapy or counselling or something. You don't sound healthy at all.

'You think that if you didn't care', I mean. Typo, whoops!

nayrt

Yeah, except that fruits ARE alive, and while they've evolved (and been bred) to be eaten, that's not the primary purpose of a fruit. The primary purpose of fruit is to propogate the seeds of the parent plant. It's edible (and perhaps delicious) to aid that goal, not to please whoever or whatever chooses to eat it. If you eat an apple and toss the core into the garbage where the seeds aren't likely to find fertile soil and good growing conditions, whether or not you consider yourself the "killer" of that living thing is up to you, but you certainly haven't helped the plant any.

You don't have to feel like a piece of shit over this, but you do have to maybe reframe your logic here, because it's faulty. You're drawing arbitrary lines around what's "alive", when what you really mean is "only certain animals I can see and not vermin, insects or plants" and that's going to strike quite a few people as 1) very convenient for your argument but 2) insincere.
