For a kid like me it was

@caPnAhab Same, sort of.. there are good things about now but it seemed like a better time which is why I'm asking because I don't if I just have a rosy view of that time because I was a kid.

The world is getting worse and better at the same time. But now I think we’re stuck and not progressing much. In the early 2000s technology was far behind, we’ve made advancements in the health and technology field, which is good, as it saves lives. Human relationships are getting worse though and I think we’re leaning towards a more asocial world. The sense of community is getting lost, and people are too self-centered and obsessed with themselves to care.

@Younameit I feel that too, interactions in real life often seem meaningless. Would you sacrifice technology of today for the connection of yesterday?

Maybe the 2000’s were to you what the 90’s were to me aka a happy time of being a kid.. often in my traumatic 20-30’s i wished i could go back to then when i was happy but since i’m happy now i no longer wish any such things .. i think i just misses the blissful happiness of the time 🙂

@BrandNewMan What changed in terms of quality of life?

@IUsedToBeHere Marriage issues when she kept shutting down /checking out on it
Honestly, yea...at least it felt better. Maybe it’s the nostalgia talking, but life seemed simpler. No constant notifications, hanging out meant actually being present, music hit different, and friendships felt more real. Being a teen in the early 2000s was a whole vibe.

@BlobbyMcBlobface Would you put it down to age? Or would you say things have fundamentally changed for the worse

@IUsedToBeHere Perhaps a bit of both but music and football have definitely become boring over the years.

@IUsedToBeHere after she kicked me out I went to stay with a friend and her boyfriend. I was with them for 2 or 3 months. I needed a place to live and my boss over heard the conversation. He let me live in his storage shed he turned into a house. His wife she really helped me a lot back then. How to pay bills and how to drive a car.

@lilylovesgaming1986 Sounds awesome, I guess when you're at rock bottom sometimes the only way really is up.

@IUsedToBeHere she never let me go hungry. My clothes was all was cleaned

@YoMomma Perhaps.. I was only a child in the early 2000s so my experience of it is limited, that's why I ask

@IUsedToBeHere i was 16 i think when Y2K came
IUsedToBeHere · 26-30, MNew
@RosaMarie Lol, ice. Don't have that over here but the police will come to your door if you say anything on Facebook apparently, that's overblown though I think. Can't speak for America.
GuyWithOpinions · 31-35, M
Yes. Because i was 25 years younger with less problems and responsibilities.
IUsedToBeHere · 26-30, MNew
@GuyWithOpinions That's what I feel like gives me rose tinted glasses, was reaching out to people who were adults at the time.. there are things that I can remember that when I observe were just inherently better though
CrazyMusicLover · 31-35
No, lol. I was a kid and was a slave to parents' decisions and school. I wouldn't go back.
Jonjdw · 51-55, M
It probably was for me. But what do I know.
IUsedToBeHere · 26-30, MNew
@Jonjdw What did you find better about it?
IUsedToBeHere · 26-30, MNew

@jshm2 How was socializing back then?
val70 · 51-55
@IUsedToBeHere Oh yes, I remember the time before 911 very well. Criminal acts done by terrorists were still done by criminals and not fanatics. The Northern Ireland Good Friday Agreement wouldn't have happened afterwards. Just look at the deeds and reputation of one Tony Blair. Before he was a peace maker and afterwards a war criminal. Not entirely his doing but the change of time too

@BillyMack And what are the pressures now? What was the plus side of them, and now
DarthInvader · 36-40, M
Hmm... I hated my youth.
IUsedToBeHere · 26-30, MNew
@DarthInvader I hated mine onward from 2008/2009.. although things weren't at their worst in a general societal sense until a little further on
