Anyone else noticed they are angrier than normal?

[HMSSophie]

I'm fine when alone at home. But when I go outside for my walk, into what is a lovely area of a nice town in the SE, I notice how angry I feel towards practically everyone I pass (not many people tbh). Or perhaps just emotional, with anger easily identifiable and quick to surface.

I don't show it of course. - I'm talking about an inner awareness. But it troubles me: is it just my own (far from perfect) nature at work, it is it a consequence for humans when resources are scarce and we feel vulnerable?

I have noticed how angry everyone else is.
If I go for a walk with DP and we - and we were laugh about something get dirty looks from people passing -/clearly not allowed to enjoy anything at the moment.

I’m angry at my fucking neighbours who have a constant stream of visitors coming round for a chat on the driveway.

I haven’t really noticed it in myself but certainly in others on the street. Twice when I’ve been out with my two children I’ve had completely unnecessary rude comments out of the blue (one person laughed hysterically and criticised my chitchat to the children FFS).

I usually smile at people I pass but I'm so angry at the people who dont leave enough space or play pavement chicken that I think I've started scowling!

I've noticed the opposite.

I am much calmer myself and certainly haven't noticed any anger when out and about.

I have gone to my parents with shopping and had a chat in the garden while observing social distancing. I don't see the problem with that.

I’m assuming you’re doing their shopping because they’re vulnerable or isolating, which is ok. My neighbours are not. Where would we be if the whole street decided to have chats with their friends and family on the drive way! It would be difficult to maintain distancing if we all did it, it already feels difficult for most people even in their own gardens with terraced or semi detached housing.

I could really do with helping my parents, they’re not in a vulnerable category, but not in the best health, and they don’t drive, so have to go to the shop most days. I’d rather they didn’t but they live 60 miles away.

I fear I am too serendipity - I certainly am inside!

My neighbours thank god are all decent and behaving well. I think I'd lose it if I had neighbours who had visitors over.

Definitely feel irritable and more bothered by small things like parcels not arriving on time and such. Wouldn’t usually be arsed but it’s one of my only pleasures atm .

I went out for a walk with ds2 yesterday and two men said something to me in an aggressive manner. I couldn't understand what it was that was said, but they seemed pissed off.

What does make me angry is when we go on our walks, couples of families who don't move into single file and continue to take up the whole pavement so its impossible to keep a 2 metre distance. This whole situation has really brought it home to me just how truly thick some people are.

I'm just back from my first supermarket shop for about ten days and my goodness, people are ANGRY

Saw two instances where something incredibly minor sparked off serious rage, one of which was directed at an older lady with clear mobility issues.

I am glad to be home and won't be venturing out there again for a while!

I dont think it is wise to walk in single file - pavements aren't 2m wide here and it's an invitation for people to try to sneak through. I'd rather they give us time to cross over or cross themselves, not try to push past as 'it's only for a minute'.

Yes i walked my dog for first time in a week with 2 of my dc to get 10 minutes of fresh air round the block. Dog was on lead, kids being quiet and a man walking his dog on the opposite pavement to me gave me a proper dirty look as if to say kids should be locked up. Was so peeved we haven't been out since so dog has to have his walks in the garden
