Do you ever feel invaded with love for everyone else, and boredom for your usual routine?

I know it's pretty weird, but sometimes I just feel like I should stop everything I'm doing and just go out, help some hobos, hug some people, tell some people how much I love them even though I'm not physically attracted to them (well, no more than to my gf at least).

When it happens, I'm suddenly bored with every stupid thing I do as a routine (not telling people that I appreciate their company, buy a Coke instead of feeding a hobo). I often do very kind deeds, but when those "invasions" occur, I simply feel sad that I continue to "hide" it all.

Don't get me wrong, I know I should reveal my "true self" to everyone, I'm just too "proud" to do so right now. But maybe everyone's like that.

So, anyone ever feels the same?

Edit: Oh yeah, I don't take drugs, alcohol, cigarette or cafeine.

I express my love with flying tackles. *nod*

Thanks, I'll try that...and post again if I survive. (I'm not too tall...)

Occasionally I do. I sometimes to have an urge to get a shirt which says free hugs on it and walk around to see what happens.

I'm always glad to provide the wisdom of my experience. :)

I volunteer sometimes, but I don't feel random bursts of spongebobness, no.

I was thinking about the other route... Terrible thoughts, but oh so gratifiying.

I wish I was doing something with my life too if thats what you mean

well I read that rather sexily : o

That could teach a lot too. :)

I have just thought of a new terror to grip the US.
Human huggers, basically they are people who hug as many strangers as possible (like those folks who hand out leaflets, but more extreme). I mean imagine the fear this would inspire in the populace, no one would see a campaign of hugging to take parliament in a thousand years.
man, this is what happens when posting at 1.00am. ug, my insanity manifests stronger when tired, say does anyone else get this too?

In fact what i was interested to see was, if a random group of people (say 20-30 of them) all wore spandex clothing, just for no reason, for the hell of spandex, to try and make it normal to wear it.
It's weird though, sure clothes are needed to keep you warm or say for practical purposes, so why would folks just recoil in terror at spandex? i mean sure it's revealing, but doesn't this highlight the sheer vanity and fear in people being able to wear what they want?
anyway, aside from that i'll try and answer the OP now, I reckons that sort of mindset occurs alot, sure i get it too, but i wouldn't actually hug random strangers or help folks because i'm sure they'd be a bit insulted for one reason or another.
Maybe it's the genetic programming in your brain telling you you're being too selfish, and is trying to induce behaviour of an altruistic nature to try and cancel this evil thought process from developing. Because positive thinking is according to many people, a good thing.

I wonder if the military ever got this feeling of hippyness, would they become more friendly or more terrifying by the new ability to love their enemies as well as kill them? (because being able to kill those you love means, well you're willing to kill anyone, i think...um then again it might just make more people happy)
I apologise if my little rant hasn't opened a new chapter in the history of man for you, i was thinking out loud. So yes, but then what if such and such happens from this new idea of peace and love and happiness?

Pretty interesting. I seriously fear for any army that love their ennemies. Maybe they could just lose out of pure pity.

As for the human huggers, I can hardly imagine that...it would be pretty awkward...I was talking of people who I know and can give a hug too without being pushed, kicked, or yelled at.

I do a lot of volunteer work and have for many years. It helps satisfy that need to give to others. I find myself frustrated sometimes that I have to work (to make a living), if I could afford it I would probably volunteer all the time.

I like the free hugs shirt idea that Londim had.:p

Something along the lines of this thread ;)

But no, I don't often feel like that.
But I usually got a lot of opportunity to help out my family with all sorts of things and have no real routine.

Ahhh, but there could be such a thing as too much pity, then bam! there's pity riots all over, it's chaos.
Although i suppose it might boost the number of Military volunteers, if their jobs is showing how to be happy.

Exactly! no one would know what to do, and you'd have to have armies of clowns going about distracting the military forces, then you get the PC nerds and hack into government properties while the distractions are taking place then bam! you are now leader of the targeted country.
well that or you just have alot of bemused and amused people wandering what the hell is going on.

Oh right people who you can hug without being picked on? try an alternate strategy, attack them with...with erm soup? ah yes food that's it. You offer food, then when they reach for the food item, you hug tackle them. (like a rugby tacke, but it's in a friendly context so it's okay)

Ditto. Myself, I'm not a big hugger, last time a stranger tried to hug me, I just back away stammered and just walked away.

I have a huge personal space.

Yeah, I am the same, I just need them to ask/warn me beforehand.

Eh for me, I just have to actually know you beyond the usual "Hey, how are you?" small talk that take place around office coolers. As of right now here are the people that can hug me without me having an adverse reaction.

Immediate family
Three of my closes friends

Everyone else get a handshake.

No.

Actually, yes, about the first part. I don't have a lot of "pride" about most things, though, so i often take the hits for being my "true self" to people.

A friend of mine was hugged once by a stranger, and consequently pickpocketed by said stranger, so I'll also think twice before I let a stranger hug me.
