What does this mean? Am I just really weird?

Question

I don't know what's wrong with me. Today I was riding my bike up this really really long super steep hill, and it was hot out and i was SO exhausted, like about to pass out. Then I saw this family walking up the same hill with this little 4 or 5 year old boy who was just crying and crying because he was so tired. I just felt so bad for that poor little baby, and all i wanted was for his somebody of the like 20 people who were with him to just carry him, he was so small anyway, so i yelled "hey why dont you pick him up?" and the lady was like "what?" and i was all "he looks tired, why dont you carry him?" and she says "cuz i dont want to" and they just keep walking up the big hill and he keeps crying, and all of a sudden i just started crying. i dont know why it upset me so much. what do u think?

Answer 1

Some people in life have no compassion. But then again, the lady might have carried him and put him down after a while. You seem a really caring person, so of course your going to feel sorry for a little kid crying. But after you being exhausted, you had seen someone much younger than you suffer. Maybe the women could have carried him. Thats what I would have done. or at least a baby stroller :/

Answer 2

they denied the boy of what you wanted some relief

Answer 3

thats happens to me to sometimes. sometimes i fell sorry for some one and start to cry for them. wierd huh

Answer 4

It upset you because the boy was in pain and the other people didnt seem to care at all, whereas you did.

Your not weird at all.

Answer 5

You are not weird

It upsets you because you have a good heart and you are so empathetic which is good in this life

The parents are cruel

Answer 6

omg! they wouldnt pick him up! thats so depressing and mean!!..i woulda picked him up myself and carried him up the hill!

Answer 7

It's called compassion, and it's normal, good even. It means you feel for other people, and that you're probably a good person.

Under normal circumstances you probably wouldn't have reacted quite so strongly, but since you were already tired as well, you could feel exactly what the little boy was going through, and you probably had a little less self control than you would have normally.

You're not weird, and you could use this compassion to do something really great, or at least to become a better person.

As for what that woman said, it was rather selfish I think. I've never understood why people didn't see that very young children don't have the same stamina as an adult, particularly when it's hot outside. What she did was actually a bit dangerous for the little boy. It put him at a greater risk for heat stroke or other serious heat related problems. I hope he's okay.

Answer 10

I think that you were right. Full grown adult and tiny boy have 2 diff bodies. Idiots i say.

Answer 11

he knew how tired he was and then thought of about how tired the little kid must be and had sympathy He sounds emotional to me.

I would have been mad at the people but not cry to

Answer 12

you are very empathetic.

NO this does not make you weird, it just means that you feel compassionate towards others and their circumstances! Do not be ashamed of your gift!

Answer 13

honestly, i would have thought the same thing. But i dont have the guts to say anything.  Good for you! Some people to me are not good parents or they are too young to be parents and dont have the patience.

Answer 14

i don't know maby you sort of had a a harsh moment in your life where you thought that no one cared about you like that child and you sort of connected to him and his pain

Answer 15

She seriously said that.... wtf. thats kinda of messed up. No you cried because of empathy for the small boy. That is normal.  But what a jerk that family was. I would carry him.

Answer 16

The parents are total di cks! You arent wierd. The parents are. Aparently they dont care about there son. Poor little guy!

Answer 17

maybe they were tryinh to like displine the kid

Answer 18

i dont think that was your place to say anything.
