friends help: Humanity sucks. - Help.com

“Why couldn’t this have happened the one of the thousands of other times I walk down the street sober?”

Is that a serious question? You’re not connecting the fact that you made yourself extremely vulnerable in a pack of teens who are so insecure they need to harass others to feel good about themselves?

Change the way you live and you won’t feel so bad about humanity… because you won’t be around a pack of losers.

so why didn’t your friends or brother help you?

yeah, i don’t really know what’d i’d advise in a fight in a public place. i’ve never been in a fight, but i’d think that getting someone off my friend/sibling would be the first thing i’d attempt to do. well, sometimes sh*tty people do sh*tty things. i hope that a-hole who hit you picks the wrong fight and gets the crap beaten out of him.

Yes, things like this are about 100 times more likely to happen when you are drunk. Blaming yourself, though, is an exercise in futility. The only thing that matters is responsibility, not blame. Accept responsibility for the fact that you got drunk and put yourself in that situation, not for the fact that the guy punched you. You have a right to be drunk and not get punched in the face.

Allow yourself to be angry. You’re human after all. The trick is channeling it into something positive rather than something destructive. When you can do that, you’ll no longer need to hold grudges against yourself or humanity.
