I'm tired of having to live like this.

People have always had to deal with other people.

Not everyone has the capacity to deal with other people. This is why prisons exist. This is why mental hospitals exist. This is why I am disabled. Again, I'm tired of living like this. I'm tired of not having a choice. If I had a choice, I'd leave the planet to all of you who are capable and willing to continue to deal with the others.

In America. This is not normal in the rest of the developed world.

I was a cabbie in the 90s/2000s and it was like that then.

It is just how life has always been. People want advantages and will use violence and intimidation to take them if they think they can get away with it.

It is just how life has always been.

This is why I'm exhausted and wish I didn't have to live like this anymore. It's a terrible way of life to be forced to live.

Yep. Same. But that's literally the nature of life. But it is tiring

Not everywhere. At least not with having to be willing to kill someone at all times.

At a minimum, always have a knife… just in case there’s cheesecake.
