Yes society is toxic. No empathy. Something's gotta change. I really realized it after COVID.

I'm kind of learning it's a matter of perspective. I sometimes read opinions of people about what people around them are like online and some seem to have such different experiences that it makes me think. For example, if you listen to people comparing places where they lived and where they moved to, they are very often describing their new place as friendlier, people smiling more and being more helpful. Then you find someone who moved out of that very city to another and say exactly the same thing. How people (especially in offices) in their hometown were always glum, everything was rushed, nobody smiled etc.
So where's the truth?
I'm starting to believe a lot of this is within us. Maybe what we're giving out comes back to us or maybe if we're happy and satisfied, we're more oblivious to the negativity of others.
I don't know but I often feel like I have no right to complain about being lonely because I know I'm not reaching out, initiating social events and actively searching for new friends. I understand the disenchantment of people who try and always get a cold shoulder but I haven't even tried, so.. 🤷🏻‍♀️ As for why I haven't, it's my personal problem to solve.

I think this is a beautifully illustrated post on how many of us feel at the moment

They all need a puppy in their life.

Get well🙏
