because they only reach out to me when they need something of me.
because none of my siblings are helping me take care of my dad, let alone visit him, ask about him etc, which falls in with above
Nothing wrong with cutting people off when all they are thinking of is themselves. They're "looking out for number one" and maybe you should do the same. Don't even have to tell them you're cutting them out if you don't like confrontation, just ghost 'em and see how long it takes for them to even notice. Then you'll see if there's any limit to their selfishness, and hopefully coax one or two to start being more conscientious

I have a confession I'd like to share. I feel increasingly these days like humanity might... not be worth it. We're just bombarded daily with the utter s**ttiness humans are capable of, and at this point I just feel like our net effect as a species is negative.
Like, what have we done to make the world better? Nothing. We kill other species, we kill each other, we kill the planet. We've taken a beautiful lush green and blue world and turn it to grey ash. Agent Smith was right, we're a virus. We multiply, consume, and destroy, providing no benefit. All the other species of the world would be better off if we did not exist. I know there's good people doing good work out there, but I feel like our negatives outweigh the positives. It feels like one awful person doing awful things typically has a much bigger effect than all the people doing small good things.
I'm at a point that, if the Climate or some other catastrophe destroys us, I ain't mad. I welcome our new robot overlords. If someone handed me a button to set off all the world's nukes, I might press it. I'd feel bad for my loved ones and for the good people here and out there, but I feel like I'd be doing the planet (and universe) as a whole a big favor.
Idk, maybe 2022 is my super-villain origin story, or maybe I'm just super depressed. Felt I should confess it, especially since I can't afford therapy.
