I'm 40, but humanity did a 180 from when I was a kid.

I remember people being kind and helping each other. I lived in a community where people knew and looked out for one other.

So yeah it's hard to accept how selfish and uncaring people have become. It's weird that's the direction we took, and almost makes me glad to be the outcast.

Anyone else notice this? Could just be my area.

A large part of it is fueled by Social Media. 75% or more. The anonymity of it makes it almost without repercussion. People carry that over into real life nowadays.

@icedsky I can't wrap my head around it. But I do agree. It's wild seeing people make little videos and send them around, but won't have a real conversation.

@MarbleMarvel It's always been there ...Covid just highlighted people's selfishness and greed

@pripyatamusementpark big time. And now it's like it's a funny joke who can be the biggest doucher and hoard things so they can waste them.

I'm 32, and I've noticed such a drastic change over the years. I've struggled with social anxiety my whole life. In the past I was able to manage it by forcing myself to be social with strangers. People were generally happy to have a random conversation with a stranger. Now, when I try to strike up a conversation it kinda falls flat. Everyone seems so stand-off-ish now. Sometimes I wonder if it is a "me" problem, but it seems like its affecting so many others as well.

@Sylphrena it's definitely not a you problem. I find being kind and respectful to people makes them standoffish and I don't trust that. They have the problem.

Different part of the world, different age, different experiences. People seem much nicer now than when I was a kid but I'm afraid we're being hurled down back to those times again.

Greed is all that matters now. We let it happen so we deserve it.

MarbleMarvel

@hunkalove I was kid, I didn't let it happen lol if anyone is responsible it's the older generations that could of made more thoughtful choices for what they left behind.

Community just doesn't feel like a thing anymore. I have neighbors that I don't know and people al seem busy with their own lives. I wonder about really small towns sometimes, whether that would be better.

Humanity did a 360 from when I was a kid. Things were harsh and now it looks likes they’re deteriorating again.
