What happened to people? Why is everyone suddenly unable to communicate?

K, I get that a lot of people have their personal problems, never learned (or never cared to learn) how to communicate their feelings and what not but why is it that every time there's some sort of disagreement people are either yelling and insulting or withdrawing and ghosting?
I'm not speaking just about how they treat me (which is an over the top reaction considering how non confrontational I am) but others in general whenever a conflict arises. These two reactions seem to be the most common and a hella lot of them would be solved if only people would sit down and talk.

It takes effort to sit down and talk through the problem.. It takes self control to remain calm during the talk / negotiation.. One must actually value the other person and the relationship one has with the other person.. It takes Love.. And Love for others has been usurped in modern western society by the primacy of love for oneself.. If you and your own feelings are the most important things in this world then someone who has caused damage to your feelings and by definition is a being of lesser importance.. Then it is not surprising that people with the modern mindset will either respond with aggressive yelling or with ghosting behaviors..
