Why would one assume that another is too apathetic to care if they don't even know that person?

My motto is assume nothing

I have a few friends/acquaintances who are like that.

High school, you know?

Maybe it's because they're the ones who are too apathetic to care.

So they assume everyone else is the same.

Or they just like to victimize and isolate themselves and wallow in their self-pity.

Or maybe they have never found someone else who cared enough..

But if they would just seek help, they'd be shocked to be able to find so many people who truly care...

For the same reason that people post rude comments online. Low self-esteem, scarring from previous life events and not enough love as a child.

First impressions I'm guessing. The way you hold yourself is the way people are going to judge you, even if that's just your outside shell.

It is sometimes hard for people to believe that there are still caring people in this world hun.

Their actions toward you will tell you, and you get a certain confident feeling about your relationship.

Cynics abound in today's society.

Because people are too nosy and they like to think they're right.

When there is no proper response one is led to think that way..

some strange people do a lot of strange things

assuption is pointless
