Are people getting more horrible?

Morning, this post is following an interaction in the workplace but applies to all areas of life.

Is it me or are people, especially women in my experience becoming unkinder and unnecessarily aggressive?

My example comes from my new workplace.
Ive just started working in a law firm, conveyancing. I know it’s stressful but almost everyone I speak to is unkind and nasty, completely unnecessarily. I explain I’m new to the transaction and ask if they can provide a contact email for the person they are referencing as there doesn’t appear to be one on the file. The response was incredible!

Not just this, I’ve had 3 instances this week of aggressive behaviour. I always try to be respectful and mindful of how I come across to others.

Im not a young woman just out of college (not that this would make it more acceptable). Im in my 40s with loads of life experience and just struggling this week.

To be honest I have been shocked at the aggression on this site. There seems to be no allowances for any differences of opinion.
