This place is kind of ruining me as a person. I just want people to get along and be happy. I'm sick of judgmental views. The stereotyping. The arguing. Smh.
At the end of the day we're all humans. We're all struggling together.

Apr 9, 2021·1 replyDAVIDPWhen was the last time you just chatted with a stranger? Even online. Everyone is so angry and agitated most of the time. People in America cannot trust eachother anymore. How come our society has collapsed to this? Constant anger, no empathy. Everything is a competition.
I think this is genuinely why people in our country are unhappy. There's no closeness or sense of community anymore.
How can we fix this?
i think the community now is that which social media hosts
which is way too temperamental and large to be stable, but if most people appeal to it, then that's what they'll get
i think it plays into the trust thing too, cus people will act stable when they're talking to ur face but tweet about u later. it's made for a weird dynamic where people hide their thoughts that they are thinking in-the-moment of some real life situation but then afterwards they'll share em on social media. a lotta ppl at my college were outspoken online but timid in person (unless they had a large group with them that'd back up whatever they're sayin)

This is some real s***. You're right. It's shifted social dynamics.

Apr 9, 2021·edited·2 repliesCant picki try to be nice most of the time
Same. I really do try to be nice to people and had conversations with strangers pretty often before the pandemic made socializing with people feel intimidating.
The world is a callous, uncaring place for the most part. If everyone put the slightest effort into making the person next to them not feel like s***, it would help a lot. And it's necessary because the capitalist system we live in doesn't give a damn about us. Individuals have to make that change because corporations certainly won't.
Social media is hardly the reason for people being selfish and even outright mean, that's nothing new, but anonymity and an abundance of opinions have magnified the self and warped the perspective people have of those around them. When reactions are measured by ratios, you can lose the forest for the trees and start thinking of the people you interact with online as part of a faceless collective. At that point, it's easy to treat someone as less than human.
Apr 9, 2021DAVIDPTrue, do you think it's more the way people use the internet opposed to it being a tooL?
Yea. You can use it to profit your ideas or monetize them or follow things that influence you and educate you or you can look at pointless s*** all day and mindlessly scroll and be mad and bored. Basically you create what you want to see on the internet. I kinda hate wen people say that the internet is bad. It isn’t the internet. It’s more so the person behind the screen
Apr 9, 2021Woke culture has made people more sensitive
Apr 9, 2021DAVIDPYes. Automated technology is cool, and AI.
yeah that stuff is pretty cool, what about socially tho?
Apr 9, 2021Cmon man. There’s still good people in this world

You’re taught to assume everyone you meet is in the inferior political party and you shouldn’t engage with them

soapmanwunI think it might be because our culture is so focused on getting ahead of each other instead of empathy
Don't wanna sound like a boomer but I do think the internet adds to the problem a bit
People constantly say s*** online that would not slide in person because of anonymity. People like to say everyone's just too sensitive nowadays but like come on dawg, I don't think it's normal for humans to be so vitriolic to each other like we our on the net

Keep your head up and I recognize these struggles because I deal with them myself.
I advise you to take a break and unplug for a bit

so many of america’s (and many other places) societal problems stem from individualism. being taught to put selfish personal desires above those of the collective
Apr 9, 2021I feel the opposite, everyone around me always assumes that I'm judging them either by looking or asking them a question about something.

Right, I think that the problem is more so how the technology limits our communication, humans just weren't built to have conversations with people through text. Theres an entire range of nonverbal communication that occurs during everyday conversations that don't exist in text.
