WTF Mates?!
The world confuses me often, not in that I don't know what I'm seeing but rather in seeing how any of it fits toghether into a cohesive explaination of the way something or somebody works. I hate knowing that I will at best only get a glimpse of what people actually feel let alone why they do what they do, and I suppose I should just trust people at their word, but people never seem to be upfront let alone honest about what they want or even what they feel. It's odd because most everybody seems to expect others to somehow guess these things and respond accordingly and when they get dissapointed enough, some realize these things to be said rather than hinted at, or just become jaded and think "nobody understands me." People are sometimes affraid that people won't like them or so for feeling a certain way, and sometimes that's the case, but why would you want to be friends with somebody on the basis of you covering up elements of your personality? In my humble opinion, they are not friends with you, rather, they are friends of a pseudo-you that you've made up somewhere along the way. Besides opinions I disagree with are facinating, they allow you to see a whole different perspective and usually a reasoned one.
Ultimately, I think the only things we really have in this world are our fundamental beliefs and the opinions of the world and others brought about by those fundamental beliefs, pretty much all else is out of our permanent control. Thus shouldn't we want to know if others agree with these beliefs? and see what other beliefs are out there? Seems like a given to me, but getting these ideas out of people is like fucking pulling teeth! Another thing on the same vein is the supression of our personal beliefs, what the hell is that? For one of the few things we have the unique opportunity to express and they are ignored or worse, the only thing we can really trust is our thoughts and perceptions, but even those can be wrong, but if we have enough people honestly expressing their perceptions and thoughts we might actually get somewhere.
Maybe I'm saying this because of this fucking city, nothing seems real especially when it comes to people.
Somebody convince me I'm wrong... seriously...

Edit: Reading this post again, it might seem like I make generalizations to a rediculous degree, and although this is partially true, I primarily generalize in that I expand what I have seen in a great many people I've discussed these things with to people in general (what else do I have to go on?). In some cases, however, these fears or thoughts are mearly inferences made from the perceptions I made of people.
