Ever feel like no one is serious enough?

Ever have the feeling that people generally don't act serious enough? Perhaps its just some paranoia or something but I seem to feel it a lot. It isn't any single event, just overall the people I encounter day-to-day.

Just simple things keep them going. They have this whole world constructed around them and are oblivious to many things around us. For example: when I worked security around the ER and I'd see people dead/die it just seemed so surreal watching the actions of others and how they'd respond to it.

It just seems so artificial sometimes. Almost like I'm in a dream. Its really horrible when I see people laughing uncontrollably or having too much fun 🙁

Anyhow, figured I must not be the only person to feel this.

Doesn't last too long usually. Just a couple days here and there if I focus on the idea. If I'm not actively thinking about it I won't notice it for a long period.
 
do you know what you are doing? you're preaching to the off topic of anandtech forums about being serious...

Really? Arg its just whack. Sometimes I'll notice it when I'm out...say at Walmart or something. I'll just look at people. And they debate over the most simpleton sh!t like what type of ass paper to try this week.

I want to tell them... "YOU ... you could accomplish so much and yet your satisfied by making cottonelle the biggest choice of the week!"

I don't mean to be critical of others. Its just something that constantly racks my brains once it gets in there. Like I said, I can go months at a time without noticing the feeling but then for days at a time it feels almost like I'm dreaming (when over-analyzing).
 
WOW!!! that's some serious thinking you're doing there, man!


seriously, most of the time that's what i'm thinking when i'm at work. my boss doesn't care (he takes a 4 hr. lunch, go shopping @ walmart during office hr.), most of our inspectors don't give a sh!t about their work.

oh well, enough complaining!🙁

you need to relax.
 
You should worry about yourself man. Let people worry about themselves, because thinking about others only stresses you out over nothing, and it's not even in your control. Plus, different people have different priorities, so who knows, maybe they're comparing toilet paper, because they're broke and need to save money, yet, don't want to buy the cheapest toilet paper, because it could physically harm their anuses.

Who knows....

So, whats wrong with that? They should be glad that the biggest problem they have at the moment is what toilet paper brand to buy.

What exactly should these people be "accomplishing" instead?
 
People don't seem to understand. Its not like I'm actively trying to pick them apart and be mean--it's just my general feeling/view. Yeah its great that toilet paper is the biggest problem for them. Really...it should be that we live with such simple decisions/things.

I don't know what my mind is thinking. Its just an overwhelming feeling of people being not serious enough and I mean that in varied ways.

Perhaps I just expect way too much of people (myself included).

Like gopunk said I should just relax probably 😛

Yeah, you should relax. I suppose misery loves company. If youre such a hardass, thats fine, but dont take it out on other people. But then again, thats what makes you a hardass. 😛

I fear physically harming my anus. 🙁

Luckily, I haven't.
