Is it just me or have people become more cold and distant?

I mean like in public or in your neighborhood?

I'm guilty of not being the one to say hello first, and I think that would go a long way. What about you?

@Wiseacre right? I have to do the same. It doesn't come naturally for me. The lock downs certainly didn't help either

@come2gether I struggle with social anxiety so that prevents me from being friendly. I'm my heart I feel like being friendly but my physical body doesn't react correctly.

@cyberdude28 then let your heart out, bro
I’d use the word “guarded.” So much division has been sown in the world which in turn diminishes trust and openness.
That really could just be the way you're looking at things, I think it's very important now to try and stay objective!

Yes both in public or my neighborhood. My neighbor's barely even say hi 😟 The world feels robotic and sterile
cyberdude28 · 31-35, M
@Coralmist I wonder what is so hard about saying hi? It's just a polite greeting and it doesn't have to lead to a conversation. I wish I could say hi but I'm just too awkward at it.
Coralmist · 41-45, F
@cyberdude28 I'm sure you would not be awkward at it..🌻 I don't even mind if I don't get Hi, but they won't even ever smile or even look over sometimes. It feels like we are not neighbors at all. I do have one neighbor though that waves to me. 🌟

Its not just you. I dont mean to sound like a foil hat person but I don't think its an accident.
cyberdude28 · 31-35, M
@NeuroticByNature I am all ears. What do think is going on?
NeuroticByNature · 41-45, F
@cyberdude28 people who cant even talk to each other to say hi will never get together to fight a system they disagree with.
cyberdude28 · 31-35, M
@NeuroticByNature Damn can't disagree with that. Its super sad.

Yes.
The world is Hard and Jaded.
cyberdude28 · 31-35, M
@Iwillwait Do you think access to negative news 24/7 on the Internet has made people distrustful? It seems like nowadays something crazy or tragic is happening somewhere almost all the time.
Iwillwait · M
@cyberdude28 Most certainly. You are what you eat.
I feel like I had to or people were going to eat me alive

@HootyTheNightOwl Tories? What's that?

As the separation between poor and wealthy grows, so does discontent, anger and fear.
You never know who is angry and carrying a knife or weapon.
Who is out to get you.

@JamesBugman Crazy times
CrazyMusicLover · 31-35
Not here. They seem the same on average.
Wiseacre · F
Yes, everything is blamed on the pandemic☹
cyberdude28 · 31-35, M
@Wiseacre the pandemic changed my life so bad 😟

cyberdude28 · 31-35, M
@Wiseacre It made me join a Christian cult that scarred me bad.
