2024 wasnt my yesr

This is maybe going to depend on your city... But I have actually called the paramedics for a random guy who was actually dying and barely able to talk/breathe from internal bleeding one time and stuck around until they showed up. It was over 90 degrees F outside and I really coulda just kept walking but... then my inaction woulda haunted me for the rest of my life.

It's not just me. I've also seen other random people help strangers, like sometimes I've noticed and joined in helping someone in need because someone else was already helping, like a few different predatory/abusive instances I've seen and helped stop... other situations I've also stuck around to see what was happening but they were just false alarms. I feel safest walking around somewhere that many people are openly queer.

I know stereotypes from places like New York is you could be dying surrounded by people just walking by because the crowd doesn't care, but that's not my personal experience with the big city I'm in.

Friendly reminder that you can't logic your way out of feelings and mental disorders, at least not fully. I've done it to a great ability for years to try and keep the bad things inside and it burned me out.
