Did people just become a$$holes after covid or what?

This forum is proof enough people were a$$holes long before covid

That is true and pretty fukked up that we barely acknowledge all the people that died.

And the sad part is most of the early deaths weren't anti-vaxxers, they just unfortunately caught it early when there was no vaccine.

100% facts.

People in real life have become so cold and hostile.

Gotten to the point where the only people I talk to outside of family are online. I only talk to people on here.

Everybody else out here is on some entitled disrespectful ish now because they have been disconnected from reality for so long.

Yeah, I even see it in myself.

Same sadly.

Its beemmn like this for a while, lockdown just forced the world to take a hard look at itself in the mirror.

The George Floyd murder is a perfect example. This would have been a routine stop 15 years ago, even if it was recorded. Being on lockdown and told to avoid large crowds made the situation even more frustrating to the public. His death wasn't new...its how cops have always operated.

Yea, people were pissed off to extreme levels and scared about what was unfolding.

This picture encapsulates just how close we were to total anarchy and people in the future will be seeing this in history books.

No, it's been a slow process that I've been observing since the 70's. Yeah, it's anecdotal, but considering we used to greet each other with 'Hey, Brother/Sister...' and now it's, 'What's up, nikka...'

Used to think it was just 'White' people, but, came to the realization that EVERYBODY is angry and takes that anger out on everyone around them IRL or online.

Slightly disagree with someone and watch what happens.​

I have a theory about this, first off you are absolutely correct, spot on;
I think the human condition causes ptsd, straight up. I have never met another human, no matter the background that has lived a perfect life, that didn’t have some kind of major traumatic experience that stuck with them, that they can’t figure out, that causes them pain, and hurt. Nowadays, a small, but loud percentage of people have decided that they are going to get the therapeutic help that they need to process that trauma. That, for some reason, makes the majority angry, calling them all sorts of pussies, taking inventory of other peoples problems, etc.. it has left everybody on their nerves, and they either have to go out of their way to justify their being too “tough” or “strong” to seek help, or refuse to show empathy all together to people that are struggling. I think as humans, with kindness costing nothing, we need to be better to each other, better to the planet, and learn to be more accountable.

I haven’t noticed people being angrier.

It seems like people have been spending more time with family and their significant others instead of with friends.

Interesting.

I'm apparently in a perpetual state of trauma from childhood, so the pandemic to me was just another Tuesday.

The issue is that I'm seeing more people walking around traumatized and not even know it. Which was always a thing but I believe it got much much worse.

Ditto on people driving waaaay more like a$$holes now. No turn signals, nothing.
