How did people know certain things were safe to eat?

Things that shouldnt bother me do and I dont know why?

• Maybe it is just me being judgemental but its not just towards the people around me. i cant talk to my boyfriend about it because he gets annoyed when i ramble on about stuff like this. but again tonight this girl on my facebook news feed posted this photo of food. but she had posed it all so it was all stacked up and designed and had put it against a background and added a frame and an effect with a tilted camera shot before she posted it. and i was just like, are you kidding me? we both know you are not going to eat a WHOLE box of cereal (among other things) along with a whole carton of juice plus three other drinks. who are you trying to kid. it all seemed so fake. facebook annoys me a lot. people post statuses and i just want to tell them off about how unoriginal/uncreative/unfunny they are because i see SOOO MANY posts/pictures exactly like the ones they posted. like there is no orignality behind anything. everyone is so fake. but its not just the internet. this weekend i went to this car thing and the "photographers" there were like the same age as me (19 or so) and they were so generic in everything that they did. when they werent walking around with their camera lens capped, they were crouching down taking the same style picture of every car.. crouched on one knee from the same angle... but at one point i saw this girl take a picture of this boy taking a picture. i was just like, why. why are you doing that. is taking a picture of someone taking a picture supposed to be interesting in some way? my bf was kinda friends with that group and so we were with them later and i told him how i was annoyed at that girls pants. they had rips on the inside right next to the crotch. and it was just tacky. and it really bothered me. but he didnt really care.... idk why i feel this way towards people. they are all so obnoxious and ridiculous. i hate how generic people are. and i could go on so much longer about these things. but unfortnately no one really gets how i feel about this. my boyfriend gets kinda mad at me actually. i really can only talk to my little sister because she feels the same way.

• Answer:

  You sound very critical and over sensitive to everything around you. Ok so 'everybody' is generic, so what. Why are you letting it affect you? Just take a while to stop and think about why you are feeling this way. Are you dissatisfied with your life? Confused? Depressed? Bored? There is usually a reason why people become over sensitised. I would suggest you talk to a therapist or counsellor if you find it difficult to work this out for yourself, sometimes it's easier to 'bounce' thoughts off someone not connected to you to get an unbiased view. Hope this helps and you feel better about life soon
