Don't try to act like you own the place

It's weird... Over the break I almost forgot how much I dislike people.
Oh well. Back into my rut I go.

I'm getting really tired of this. No matter what I do, I always fall short of expectations. ANY expectations. Not just the expectations I set for myself, but the expectations set by others. I just don't meet them anymore. But I'm happier than I used to be. I guess that's good, but I feel like such a bum now. I don't know how else to describe it. I have no motive anymore. It's just gone. Hopefully I can get it back and get back on track. Because I liked feeling like I was going somewhere. I'm just not ready to go back to all the stress of that life. Not yet, anyways.

The more I do for people and the harder I carry on, the more I realize that I stand alone.
When someone asks me what's wrong, I often tell them "I'm just tired." And I know that's the first-class excuse for a deeper problem, but in my case, that's really all it is. I'm just tired.
When I say "I'm just tired", it's the truth, I'm tired of this town, this routine, these people...

Why yes, this picture of a Diglett
is completely irrelevant.
But it's here. So you shall love it.
On another note, this is something that's been grinding my gears lately, and to be honest, I don't understand it.

Every time I see someone purposefully trying to get someone in a bad mood, I get ticked off. It's one of the few things that just sets me off completely, especially when it happens to me. When people that don't mind their own business go around acting like they run the place, they just ruin everyone's day. Then it's up to other people to try to help them.

Why do people even do that? Why do they find comfort in just making other people feel lousy?

I've been told before that you can't rely on other people for your mood. You can't let them be the complete cause of your happiness, and you can't let them take that happiness away. But I don't see the sense in that. Our moods are based off of other people completely. That's exactly how our mood is influenced, by other people. What if there were no other people? You would have no one to make you happy or upset. Forget accomplishments. There would be no one to compete against and no one to recognize that you made a difference. What difference could you make anyway? There's no one to make a difference for. There's nothing without people.

So why do we ruin people on purpose?
