Why do things feel so much more superficial/weird since 2015-2016?

Things in general just feel off. When I go out places and peoples personalities have all changed drastically since around 8 years ago.

Everything irl just seems to be about materialism or putting on an act to impress people but it's mostly superficial af

I'm thinking back to like 2013-2014 and don't remember things being like this back then people were more real with each other and closer relationships in general

LMAO I told you already man.



No one does these style of threads better than you. Best part is that it's not a shtick, it's who you are. But you got to escape from this redundant loop and be pro-active about changing your current circumstances. I know you're depressed, but your situation isn't dire. Try to change your perspective and recognize how good you do have it.

You have all your basic necessities and needs met. You have to use your imagination and go out and explore and create your own adventures.

Thats about the time when the first 18 year olds emerged whod been exposed to smartphones,
internet and reality T. V. since the day they could walk.

its the compounding interest of people being so zoned into their phones 24/7.

People weren't walking down the crosswalk of busy intersections with their face buried into their phones pre 2012. Now its the standard.

Even back in my day, it was all about having an iphone, abercrombie/polo, and some sperrys/jordans.

Now you need designer clothes, new luxury car, and a boat

I blame social media and that was right before Trump was elected so people weren’t so divided. I mean I’m not against him but people either love or hate him. He rustles jimmies so people started arguing.

Then they all started watching Netflix around that time so you talk to people and they haven’t even seen Top Gun Maverick as they don’t want to leave their house. It’s so bizarre.

Add in the lockdowns and you have people going legit insane.

Everywhere i go people are on their phones or have their ear buds in even at work you literally used to never see this. You strictly weren't allowed to have phones our or air pods in at work. Even at the gym you'd rarely see it around 2011 as most people were social then and just getting a good lift in. Chit has changed.

If it isn't that people are really obsessed with social media, video games and netflix now. Netflix is basically modern cable TV but still i've never seen people talk about like they do now. Marvel is a good example. Nobody was gonna watch Marvel pre 2012 lol. You might have watched Spiderman but people didn't talk about it.

Bro all of this has more to do with the decline of your mental health over the years than external factors. Srs. Go seek a mental health profesional and get some help

Dude the data shows the average person is on social media 2.5 hours per day and is looking at screens over 7 hours per day. I'm not making this up. This is not the culture i remember even 10 years ago. That's just your average person. Many people are obviously looking at screens even longer.

the country feels weird because the country is sick and dying.

Well I always assumed it was because I was aging and abused my meager brain with alcohol tobacco energy drinks etc, but now that you mention it I bet it is a dimensional rift because of cern and the global cabal of judaism
