How can you call someone worthless so easily?

When I was younger, in elementary school specifically, I was called worthless and I know that’s not what you’re really talking about. Little kids cannot help their dependence and adults at least have a choice. Still, I dont think of anyone as worthless because of my experience as someone who has been called and treated like that. I know the feeling and I do not want to see it just that way.

But now I’m someone without a job, not currently taking classes at college, I’m someone you would call worthless right?

No one has called me this to my face, but I’m sure thats what they think.

I tell people my situation and they seem to begin to understand, but do they really? If I had never revealed it, would they have called people like me worthless -called me worthless, without knowing?

I have my excuses and maybe they aren’t enough for you, but they were enough for me. Enough of a reason for me to choose what I have…I am not saying I will be like this forever.

A waste of space, not contributing to society, worthless.

But have you really tried to understand? The world of someone different from you, is it so different that you cannot see? Just because you cannot understand another’s experience does not mean it is invalid.
