Remembering my aunts and uncles from my childhood, a lot of the older people today don’t seem to have as much energy – I come from the US.
I’ve noticed people can be erratic and easily agitated now. Almost everyone I know in their 40s and 50s is angry all the time. Heavy drinking. Not able to process new information very well.
My uncle had a kid at 50 and played with her non-stop. I don’t know anyone capable of that now.
Am I the only one seeing this?
I mean it’s simple.
Everyone is worried even if they don’t say so.
Technology has been shoved down our throats. Now there’s llms; this is referencing something simple like getting bot calls on a daily basis for a pretend “human” to get transferred to “John” with a thick Indian accent.
It’s hot outside. I remember having to wear a jacket in the winter, and now I want to take my skin off.
Video games were fun or challenging; now they’re pay to win.
Playing in the backyard isn’t cool anymore because 'gotta keep up with the other kids on their phones and so forth.
Depends on where you’re at; anger? High levels of CO2 cause that. The fun factor about global warming that isn’t often discussed. Having parking lots of cars at stop lights makes this worse. It gets worse when stores cut back on AC and filtration.
The political spectrum is well on a spectrum; so the confidence is gone there.
All of these aspects exhaust people. Especially advertising on every corner.
i find it so crazy how people are conditioned to shove down very real worries to appeal to normality.
