I understand and am sorry for your loss, you see you judgement is depanding on USA condition, what I would call ignorance is thinking there is nothing else important happning in the world, I GUARANTEE you that even 5% death rate is a normal day in a big part of this world, I understand your point of view is coming from someone who been living a very normal life going to college and all that, however REMMBER that if you are speaking from USA or any other FIRST WORLD COUNTRY, people in 3rd world countries feel bit differently as thier lived once get killed on daily basis , Syria , Yemen , Iraq , Africa , libya, or those are not humans worth feeling sad for and worth giving you a different view in life. Plus watch international channels you might get what I mean, again sorry for all the deaths happning in the world however this you might not like but believing in God and beliving that everyone got a day. One more point the wars that been going on in the world what do you think those wars do to people ? Do you excpact people who been living under booms for decades to feel the same you you feel bout death ! . Be safe .
Thank you for you replay, I get you point trully I do ,but algazera is killing us, I watch cuz I want to hear the news yes but as a person who is bit sick and feelings unstable I wish if thier was a filter to watch news but for senstive and paranoid people that's putting it better .
I know it's really scary and they put it even on the news strip, I will give BBC site a try, my problem is I live alone and just sitting watching this things day and night even movies don't have that much joy at these times, I really hope and I pry everyone to be okay, and I pry for each and everyone, and I wish we were able to help as nation's we are strong power I wished if governments asked for our help even if it was volunteering to make masks or somthing with instructions given from governments we would cover the shortage in a week, anyways we will win and that is a fact .
@shifter in my country is a lot propaganda and fake news everywhere . Panic spreads more than a virus and even if you dont watch news there are people outside that watch news and they get obsessed ,they get gigantic eyes like wild scared animals and they are ready to attack you if you accidentally Stand 1 cm too close to them in a line in a grocery. Xd
That's excatly what I mean it just feels wrong, I don't know what is right thing to do but somthing is not right not in whole world but there is some countries which have somthing wrong going along with infection, I swear it's not conspiracy theory that I mean, but there is people use the suitation as it go without conspiracy but the result is very much the same
Yeah. Someone earns from it for sure. Or will earn after
Brain wash? Corrupted media? Nobody is forcing you to watch you news, when it's stressing me out I just stop watching. They're not reporting on much other stuff because frankly there isn't much else happening in the world, most of us are stuck in our homes. I wouldn't call giving updates on a global pandemic and keeping the flow of information intact "spreading panic". Someone I suspect that if they weren't reporting on it, you would be calling THAT a conspiracy. There has also been plenty of explanation for why infection and death rates are different in different countries: they're at different points in their epidemics, some countries test more people with mild symptoms, some countries' health systems are overwhelmed because of too many sick people at one time which increases mortality, and deaths are being reported differently in different countries (cause of death vs an unrelated positive test in someone who has died of other causes). Idk what news you're watching but the reasons why the strength of the virus looks like it's different in different countries has been explained pretty well where I live. I'm all for being positive and having an attitude that things will ultimately be okay. But putting it in the same post with lots of stuff indictating that you basically think of a dangerous virus as "fake news" makes it sound a lot more like willful ignorance. My friend's professor from college died of it a while back, people on here have had the symptoms including me (I live in an area with a high infection number) and we all need to take the health advice seriously so that vulnerable people are protected.
I'm not from the USA. So your argument is that people only care about coronavirus because it's killing rich white people rather than malaria killing Africans every day or drone strikes killing children in the middle east? That's actually a very legitimate point. But it's still a new and dangerous virus and we have the opportunity now to prevent more death, for the good of everyone. If it isn't controlled in Africa it could kill a horrendous number of people already suffering from malnutrition and poor immune systems. I still disagree with your complaints that the media is corrupt or trying to brainwash or panic everyone. They're covering news which is relevant to their viewers, as they're expected to.
I think a lot of us would like to be able to get a filter on the news for us right now. I think the BBC has an area on the news website and a segment on TV which is just for good news stories about people helping eachother with the virus. It's good to read that stuff instead. We don't need to know the new scary numbers of dead people all the time.
Does anyone get extremely triggered by news stories, specially the recent Idaho events? Today really triggered my ocd and I’m scared to sleep etc cuz I’m convinced someone is after me just like those stories
I’m so paranoid about everything that’s been going on in the world and I keep seeing it everywhere and I have a deep Fear of everything going wrong in the world getting crazy.
Hello, I come from a country in Europe that used to be together with other countries including Serbia. Long time ago. We do not border Serbia, but there is still sort of a collective emotional connection with those countries. News from Serbia from 3.May23 has shocked me. A 13 year old boy killed a security guard and 8 children, 7 girls and a boy. He wounded 7 more. He took his father's guns. His father, a famous doctor, radiologist, in Belgrade, taught him how to use guns. The boy's only regret is not to have killed many more. He had a list with names of the kids he wanted to kill. He claims to have enjoyed watching the kids terrified and screaming. He was/is an excellent student and was always well-behaved. He was successful at school, at basketball, at drama/theater club, has won many awards I science, languages,.... competitions. His mom is a scientist. He had planned the killing for a month. He won't go to prison, he won't be punished since he is not yet 14 years old. He is being kept in a psychiatric hospital for adolescents. But they will probably let him go. His father is in prison, but the maximum sentence he can get is 2 months. For not preventing the access to his guns to the son. So far, he claims that he had followed all the laws and regulations about storing the guns, so he will be out in a few days, I guess. What shocked me even more is that he has tones of kids posting videos of support, awe and praise to him and laughing at the victims, insulting the dead, but admiring him on Tik-tok,... Other incidents have followed: a 21 year old shot a similar number of people a day after, a girl wanted to stab her teacher with a knife, kids film themselves threatening people with guns,..Just today, police have arrested 2 kids for posting the videos of support to the boy who killed. I am anxious. I feel scared. What's going on with kids? I am not scared for my safety or safety of the people in my country. I feel so anxious because I can't stop thinking about how something like that could have possibly happened. How can a 13 year old boy do something like that? He does not get it, but he did not kill 9 people, he killed 4 more. He ruined his own life, his mom and dad's and his 10 year-old sister's. Not to mention the lives of the victims' parents' and family and friends'. I keep thinking about what went wrong. He had it all. But did he? It is claimed that he was bullied by other kids for stuttering. He claims he was ignored by his peers, but there are girls who had a crush on him. He even had a girlfriend for 2 months. He describes himself as a psychopath. Kids develop empathy at the age of 3 usually. Is it possible, that he developed physically and in all cognitive educational ways since he is super intelligent as far a school is concerned, but emotionally stayed at the level of a 2 - 3 year old kid? He feels nothing. No regret. He hasn't even asked about his mom or dad yet and it's been a week since the shootings. All he asks is when he will be free to go home. Can a person be born with predisposition to become a psychopath and it depends on the environment, upbringing, family ties, if he or she one day explodes and does sth as terrible as that? There's been talk of a split personality. Like in the film 3 faces of Eve. There might be something on it, since just before entering school, he got all panicky and scared and intended to call his mom to tell her what was going on with him, how he was feeling, but all of a sudden he changed his mind, didn't call her, there was no fear in him anymore. All he wanted was to kill. A second before he was like a person with ocd - he got scared of the things his brain was telling him to do and panicked. He was on the brink of calling his mom for help. This is how we react. We get scared because we know the thoughts are not OK, not acceptable, not in balance with who we are and our morals. We try to escape them or prevent it from happening by performing compulsions. He understood for a short while, he didn't want to do it and wanted to prevent it by calling his mum. But then the resemblance ends. We don't give in. We don't do anything to hurt others. But he, in a split second turned all his emotions off, became a completely different person, collected, calm, cold, on a mission to kill as many as possible. No mom, no fear, nothing but killing was o his mind. He even called the police himself. He was completely calm and collected when they arrested him. No fear, emotions, regrets. A psychopath probably wouldn't feel like he did moments before entering school. He realized what he was about to do and it upset him, put him in a state of panic. Yet, the next minute the fear and panic were gone. He went on his mission. Like 2 completely different people living in 1 body. It is so heartbreaking to blame him alone for what he did. He is a child. How can we accept that a child can turn into such a monster? Am I a bad person for feeling sorry and sad not only for the victims, but for him and his family as well? People I know don't do that. They choose sides and attack the other side. It is gruesome. Everybody is putting blame on someone else. The politicians on one another, people on parents and teachers. Psychologists on teachers and parents for not noticing anything wrong with him. Only the kids are devided in 2 groups. Those who are shocked, sad, confused. And those who praise the killer as a king, as their hero, a role model. Oh, heaven! The last group causes the anxiety in me. What has gone wrong in our society, that a 10 year old threatens that he will also kill his schoolmates and teachers, just to continue his role model's work? Or that teenage girl, who trided to stab her teacher and a girl in her class. And the one who threatened to kill members of his church? Is it just me, but do you think it would be sensible to set age limit for all social media. Minimum age at 18 or at least 16. Why can't a 6 or a 10 year old child live without Tik Tok, Facebook, Instagram,...? Why are there no filters about violence, sex, threatening, bullying on social media, including YouTube? The boy was super active on Tik Tok, Instagram,.... He played violent games, was a fan of aggressive movies and videos,.... Maybe if more kids spent a quality time with each other in person, playing real games and sports (with a ball, or monopoly,...) they would grow emotionally as well. And if they were prevented from seeing and enjoying any kind of violence from anyone online including their peers, they would find idols and role models in other people - in family or a singer, an artist, a scientist... The only dilema with setting an age limit to social media is for me about communities like ours here at NOCD. These are life saving communities for grown-ups as well as children. And it is very good so. Here are also rules. Noone wants to insult others or blame them,... But FB, Instagram, TikTok.... phones at the age of 5 and on... Come on? Really necessary? I am sorry and I apologize because I know this will upset everyone. I just need your input on something like this, so that I can start breathing again. I can't expect the sadness and confusion will go away just yet, but I need to deal with this pressing feeling of anxiety in my chest caused by constantly thinking about it. My ocd is very happy. Anxiety is a stepping stone for the onset of ocd. So it's just a matter of time Ocd will start talking unless I stop the anxiety. I am so sorry for upsetting you as well. I hope I will wake up and realize it was all just a bad dream. It is not important where it happened. I would feel the same if it happened in London or LA or a small village in India,... what breaks my heart is that the actors and victims in this tragedy are children. Love and hugs. Please love each other, listen to and hear each other, don't ever disregard someone's pain. Not a grown-up's, and especially not a child's. Have a better day than I am having. I just feel like crying. There is this beautiful video of the only boy killed, playing the piano. He plays so beautifully. It just breaks your heart. The killers best friend, allegedly. Uhhh. I think I will stop following what's going on there, since it's becoming to stressful for me. Love you all guys. Bless you all.
