Why do people not like people anymore?

[fthisfthatfeverything]

Exactly that, what’s destroying people getting on together. Supporting each other, being kind, staying in their own lane. Not lying or shit stirring.
Building each other up instead of knocking each other down.
Fixing crowns without telling the world they were crooked.

Why do people not like other people?

I'm not sure whether you meant to imply this, but I don't think there was ever a utopia where everyone was nice to one another, in any place or at any time.

Anymore? Please explain when this ever happened in real life

I love my family and friends and will do what I can to support them. I don’t “fix their crown” because that’s twee crap in my eyes.

I don’t like the general public because they are generally entitled knobs who go around focused entirely on themselves. I don’t shit-stir though because it puts me at risk.

Is this the MN equivalent of the Facebook post with a meme about knowing who your real friends are?

"Hell is other people " Jean-Paul Sartre, 1944.

People have always been like this.

What does "stay in your lane" mean? Sounds suspiciously like "know your place". And frankly, fuck that.

Exactly what @BeingATwatItsABingThing said, self centred, entitled knobs with absolutely zero awareness of the world around them (often not helped by having headphones in their ears and their head in a phone screen) are rapidly on the increase.

People are a lot more entitled than they used to be. And the internet has had a profound effect on how people view others. I don’t remember people being overly kind growing up in the 80/90s though either

Also not sure what you mean.

The older I got the more I run out of patience. Simple as that.

And I hate "be kind" with passion. Like actual passion

People are the worst

No
you’re right. but people are growing cold!
They are nasty and go out of their way to avoid other people.
Read some of the threads on here, read some of the replies below yours.
I’ve come across some real life nasties also, luckily not my friend or family!

It means: mind your own business!

It all sounds very poetic.

Completely unrealistic, but very poetic 👍

Mind you, I quite like most people so clearly you're not talking about everyone.

Are you including yourself in the non people liking OP?

Maybe it’s just more noticeable now with social media.

Twas ever thus

I do my best to be a nice person but if Im surrounded by crowds I get stricken with a desperate need to escape for example shopping centres. I live in a rural village in Somerset and prefer to be on my own with my cats and maybe out with a friend but my people contact is minimal. People are too noisy and too much.

Because everyone is their own special princess and the existence of others is triggering to them.

I really think it feels better to be nice and feels really good when someone is nice to me.
but as I get older I do cross paths with more people and more often than not, they are emotionless, cold, nasty, liars.

i do like people I’ve a few different circles of friends that are so lovely.
i think most nasties hang out here 😆

i don’t understand people that gossip or shit stir or lie about other people, I just can’t understand that!
i do believe sometimes it’s a jealous thing.

I do agree with this in some cases too

People are nosey fuckers.

I’m pretty old and I don’t recognise this utopia where everyone was lovely to everyone else. I think I’m pretty kind and am a say Yes rather than say No kind of person but the “Be Kind” rubbish really gets on my wick it’s always aimed at women or girls ( see all the girl T-shirts with rainbows and be kind on them, T-shirts in boy sections of shops never have be kind bollocks on them). So the question you’re really asking is why do women not like other people, how much crown tweaking are you expecting a man to do?
Maybe women are fed up being expected to be kind, helpful and supportive and not getting anything back.

Most people get on with their lives quietly and unobtrusively, maintaining decent friendships and relationships with those around them. Like anything else, you don’t get to see or hear much about friendships, relationships, and social interactions which are unproblematic, calm and supportive, and you probably don’t often reflect on or even keep in mind the dozens of tiny interactions you have with other people every day which were perfectly pleasant; you only hear about and focus on the problematic ones which upset you or others.

I'm wonderful, everyone else is awful .

(Not serious)

Because there are not enough resources to go round is the short answer. Long term, Britain has been promoting the wrong values and people with them for decades: promoting aggressive exploitation and when the aggressive exploiting people laugh at the law abiding working ones, and kick them a bit harder, the latter start to feel like mugs. Positive relationships and networks become the preserve of wealth and privilege and the rest fall away disheartened and demoralised. The amount of lies, gaslighting, corrupt and antisocial behaviour seen at the top slowly corrodes the root and supports of the social pyramid.

I try to like people, I really do but so many are nasty, rude, cold, have no interest in others anymore. It feels like everyone is only for themselves.
