This post is so interesting. I think part of the problem is you’re globalizing. You feel “everyone” is a narcissist, sociopath, asshole etc. This is purely your perception of things …… it’s the way you’re seeing the world.  I get into similar states & what helps is just using some basic logic like this  ” if there are 8 billion people on the planet, what are the chances that all of them suck and I’m the only person that doesn’t suck?”     The reality is we are all a mix of personalities, dispositions & moods. Even people that are generally negative have a good day & positive people have off days. I think your best bet is to dig deeper and try to question your assumptions & change them.  You’ll be way more effective at trying to change yourself then everyone else around you.

There’s studies that show vegetarians & vegans kill just as many animals or more through the farming machinery used to produce their food. Eating small amounts of meat is necessary for optimal heath of most people. I tried to go meat free because of a similar belief system and I started falling apart physically. So for people like me the only choice is to find humanely raised beef & stay away from CAFO’s & factory farming.

I’ve gone on crazy restrictive diets in the past and it seems like the extreme discipline always leads to a breaking point where I’ll binge. The more restrictive the diet the stronger & longer the binge. I think this is a natural cycle & you can only break it by getting in tune with your bodies natural needs & finding a homeostasis. I think stressing about it & beating yourself up will probably only make the problem worse …… I’d look at other stresses in you life like relationships, overexercise, lack of sleep etc & once you get those in order I bet the binges will chill out a bit. Hope this helps
