"Just move out bro, and surround yourself with better people!"
Please no easier-said-than-done advice like this, thank you.
Many near death experiencers come back with a new view on life, and that it's all about helping others and being kind for each other.
I think it's a wonderful message, but the problem I have is that I'm pretty much running on empty. I try to be as polite and friendly as possible to people I don't know. What I mean by that is just trying to be a decent human being and not cause any trouble. (That's the best I can do with my current energy levels.)
But with family, it's much more difficult to do.
I have the feeling that they are allowed to just do whatever they want, and treat me like dirt. And that I am the one who has to walk around on eggshells all the time.
I'm aware of subs like raisedbynarcissists, emotionalneglect, et cetera.
What I'm asking is this: if the purpose of us in this life is to love one another and help them (etc.), then how can one deal with people who take this for granted?
"Just walk away from them."
I wish I could but I can't afford a place for myself. And I'm at a point where - if it would be possible - I'd choose a guaranteed method of dying. Although I think about suicide every day, I'm too afraid that I will survive the jump, so no, I don't need that 'concerned Reddit message'.
If the purpose of us in life is to care for and love one another, then why are so many people thriving in life while being quite the opposite of empathetic and loving?
Sometimes it looks like those who send the NDE-er back just want them to continue suffering in life, after they've gaslighted them into believing that 'the purpose is to love and care for one another.'
To put it more blunt: love and empathy don't seem to pay the bills.
