Why are people acting so hostile?

Seems like so many people are constantly mad about little things what is causing this? Is it social media? Obesity? Inflation? The jab?

It's extremely rare to come across someone like this outside the internet. Miserable cowards hide behind their screens bitching and moaning about the littlest thing since the stakes are so low. People who tend to act this way are most likely severely lacking in self-esteem and self-confidence and need to hide behind a veil of anonymity to spew their vitriol. Look at some members on here. It's actually become sad just how miserable some people are. Imagine living life constantly triggered by everything and anything.

This. Irl, people are nice or at least behaving. Maybe fake but at least not aggressive. Only people who are aggressive in real life are usually poor/uneducated people. The rest are civil.

Wut I'd say 50% are and 50% aren't

There's no way every person is like this irl. It just isn't what I experience on a day to day basis

I never said aggressive though just a lot of peope are unfriendly. Only some are aggressive and that's at places like wal mart

The extremists that say chit, like the rainbow mafia, can only say chit on the internet or in crowds of hive minded people.

They are cowards otherwise.

Had lots of people get hostile with me IRL for not wearing a mask, and one just did the other day too.

Well a lot of it is polarization in our nation between liberals and conservatives. The people in my liberal area are furious over Roe v. Wade, even though it will never affect California. They just know that it's too expensive to live in California so they may have to move to another state where abortion is restricted.

I had a conversation with my aunt about this yesterday and I told her how at this grocery store near my house the checkers are always arguing with each other and in a bad mood. If you go to Whole Foods (which I can't afford to anymore) the checkers are happy and friendly. Plus the lights are better. They probably get paid more and they are in a less hostile environment.

It's more like being in the South where you get Southern hospitality. I guess now I'd have to pay for Southern hospitality at Whole Foods.

Social media and dating apps where women get so many men also unleash a lot of hostility, as seen on here.

Maybe it's time to really inspect the company you keep? 50% is a staggering figure. There's usually the one or two oddballs but half is a ton. I have an old friend who's really into conspiracy stuff and we all poke fun of him but we all still hang out. I have one friend now who's somehow begun leaning more to the extreme left even though he grew up selfish and more conservative in nature. Mostly everyone else in my immediate social circle is really moderate, able to actually think rather than inspect issues solely via the lens of what side they identify with.

I just noticed this this week. People's anxiety levels are going up high. The usual suspects who were trying to pick random fights with me during Covid are once again trying to pick fights again after a hiatus.

It's the economy. Thanks Joe.

Agreed. A lot of younger people i have noticed are fairly standoffish. A lot of people also keep playing identity politics asap when you meet them. I've met people before who can't help but bring up Donald Trump 5 minutes after you learn their name. It's getting crazy and depressing out there

I go to university and yeah people (especially women) are generally a lot more hostile the more liberal they are.

It’s at the point where if she tells me she’s even somewhat liberal I’m just gonna dip tbh, all the liberals I’ve dated ended up being some combination of hoe and crazy.

I’m just goin to church now lol

Seattle is a fun place to visit, though. I love it there. But I see the problems with the liberalism and the homelessness.

bruh, have you been on the roads lately? It's a chit show. Everyone's driving like a maniac and acts like they're the only person on the road. Swerving, speeding, texting, cutting off, yelling, screaming. It's insane.

I think they're all acting out because they have subconscious withdrawals from dopamine. Like they are itching to get on ******** or check tik tok.

Basically like drug addicts or people that need a cig

or they just gone full retard from only being on social media and can't act properly. Like the cavemen who would bark and holler at others.
