That is the one word I would use to describe how I feel sometimes when I deal with the absolute ignorance and persecution of people. My family, whom I love dearly and vice versa, some of the members feel this whole atheism thing is just another attempt at grabbing for attention. I've dealt with that mentality for awhile on a lot of different things, from my coming out of the closet as being gay, for many of my political standpoints, many lifestyle opinions and viewpoints, how I behave in general, and now my whole slipping into atheism.
It's irritating and I find that many of those things are viewed as attempting to garner attention for the sake of attention's sake. I find it both annoying beyond description and rather tiring. That general sense of 'screw it' doesn't happen often but it does get to me once in awhile.
Anyone else run into certain things that start to slowly chip away at you like that? Things that just make you want to just throw up your hands and get away from all the bullshit?
And for that matter, how you eventually shake yourselves from it.
