Reply #6: I don't think you're disturbed. [View All]

I know how you feel. I sometimes get annoyed trying to explain things to friends and family but I've realised there is a difference between verbal and written communication. I'ts much easier to calmly respond to a post on a messageboard than explain something to a family member on the hoof. It's probably better just to let them know the information is out there if they're interested but otherwise not to push these topics onto them.

But the reality is that most of us won't be involved in a terror attack or sent off to war etc, so it's really your empathy that's in overdrive, your feeling for other people. Is it possible for you to get involved in a local pressure group to take up your time and energy...

Or the other alternative which I've tried is to go cold turkey, disconnect your internet connection and go find a different hobby. However that hasn't worked for me and I'm thinking of setting up my own blog! (But a blog that deals with lots of things not just the heavy issues).

The truth will come out but it will take time, look how far W has fallen in popularity in the last couple of years. In the meantime enjoy searching for knowledge but don't try too hard to foist it on others.
