> Everyone ruthlessly exploits everyone else to survive [...] Out here, others are either threats or exploitation targets, not partners. "Everyone" is a strong word. People are very different. Some are evil, some are admirable and kind, most have a mix of good and bad traits. To me, a random internet commenter with no horse in this race, this comment sounds really disturbing, it sounds like you're having some problems warping your world view(or maybe you're just hanging out with the wrong people). I'm not usually the one to diagnose random strangers, but what you're saying sounds pretty extreme. Biased, or influenced by some psychological thing, I don't know. Either way, not factually accurate. Do you have at least one person that you like, that you can talk to about this stuff? I don't really know what advice to give you. I'm just gonna say that even though it's easy to see all the ugliness and flaws in human nature, there's a lot of goodness and beauty in it too. Make an effort to see good in people, or to seek out people that are good. There are plenty.
