I am so sick of seeing good people with issues such as depression, social anxiety, etc. get beaten down daily by all those insensitive 'normal' people who can't, for the love of God, put themselves in the shoes of others for at least once in their lives.

Why is it that in our society it's normal to be a loud extroverted a**hole who never considers the feelings of others but it's not okay to be quiet and sensitive?

Why is it that when someone displays signs of introversion they are being told to "go out of their comfort zone" and "talk" but a loud person is never told to shut up? Why is it normal to allow these people to bully those who tend to be more sensitive into developing conditions such as depression, social anxiety & even become suicidal? Since when did we begin to 'cancel' entire human beings just because they don't behave the way we want them to?

Haven't we given all our power away to all the wrong people? Haven't we, for the love of God, praised the most narcissistic psychopaths and allowed them to become what they have - a bunch of monsters who will bully & abuse you 'til you no longer wish to be alive?

Haven't we spoiled these 'normal' people a bit too much through various means such as social media, Hollywood, even politics?

My main point is - Stop giving away your power to insensitive, uncaring people who have no love, compassion or empathy in their hearts.

At the end of they day, it seems like they are the ones who are not normal for not even being capable of feeling those emotions - not us. Emotions such as love, empathy and compassion are normal for a human being to express and feel and if someone doesn't have them then let me tell you - they ain't alright.

The reality is that we develop conditions such as depression and social anxiety as a response to a toxic environment full of toxic people. So maybe, it's not our fault for not being able to fit in in this world in which everything is backwards. It is normal to love each other, it is normal not to judge each other, it is normal to help each other - anything else is abnormal.

If you're out there and you struggle with social anxiety or any other condition I just wanted to tell you that you're not alone and I love you with all my heart. I cannot allow myself to blame you for anything because I know it's not your fault.

I hope this helps at least one person.

That's all I had to say.
