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?

Entitlement - to many people feel that the world revolves around them and everyone else should just ‘accept’ it.

I can tell you've never read the bible. I don't rebuff pop education or 'trust me bro'. If you want to discuss the bible and not what you've been spoon fed by the media or society, I'll be here.

Postmodern theory, anyone? This is my last offer....

For me… a few things. Covid … how I saw people behave. My mum died towards the end of it, won’t go into to it but it was horrific … again how I saw people behave what I saw them grapple to excuse. A bigger awareness of what gaslighting and abuse are, what narcissism is … realising that people don’t really care in the main unless there’s something in it for them, betrayal… being able to goggle what bullying is and realising that’s what a ‘friend’ is doing… people aren’t that good. Not really. And once you see it .. it’s hard to unsee it. Oh and inverted bullying, virtue signalling, all the ‘you ok hun?’ And the ‘wow… just wow’ all that carry on you just see it day in and out … people can be pretty shit. And like I say … once you see it.

Nonsense. I’m currently visiting dh country and people in this entitled country have no clue what bad living conditions are truly like. We are SO privileged in the UK. People are living in dire poverty here and yet are so kind and friendly.

Yes. They really are.

I have read the bible. I grew up evangelical. I still think that even a Christian society was not a utopia. People still disliked others and treated people badly. I never said trust me bro and you have the right should you wish to refute any of my points.

Read the bible. Don't read the bible. Wear the sunscreen.

I don't believe you have personally read the bible. Sorry. Happy to read it with you, or invite you to church. Otherwise, as Jesus commands, make the offer and walk off if rejected.

Happy to cite the source.

I've read the bible.

I can say: "Good lord." In good faith.

Its nothing to do with the bible.

PP nailed it when they said: "people are cunts."

Move on.

I have, both personally and in bible study groups. My upbringing was very religious but even as a child I could never believe it - and I questioned more through adolescence and adulthood. Not agreeing with the apologetics doesn’t mean someone has not read it.

ALWAYS wear sunscreen.

I don't have to do as you say, you know that, right? You came to me about my comment not the other way around. How about you move on?

Nothing worse than an angry bible basher.

The thread isn't about the bible.

You don't have to do as I say.

But the advice on the sunscreen is good advice 😁

Materialism, shopping for the latest thing that SM "influencers" tell you to, wanting to have what others have, being cranky when you can't, disliking and looking down on those less fortunate, being bitchy, competitiveness at work, on the school run, in appearance, being the healthiest, most fit, with best children and sneering at those who are not (in your eyes). Sibling rivalry, in law tensions, I want, I want, I want.

I am guilty of a few of these, most people are, but I'm working on it every day to notice what I'm doing.

Who's angry?

That's a big question in the context of the OP.

Just stick with the sunscreen.

I think everywhere is just a lot busier.

If chances were always 1/100 of meeting a knob on any given day, but with population density your average person living outside of a big city interacted (in the loosest possible sense of the word, including people driving past you, in the same shop as you, etc.), say 80 people the chances of experiencing a knob at the time they were exhibiting their knobbish behaviour (as they aren't 'on' all the time) was comparatively low.

Now every road is rammed, doctors surgeries are heaving, supermarkets are always busy the knob to normal ratio hasn't increased but your chances of encountering one have.

'knob' can mean either a full time knob (we know these exist!) who can be counted on to be generally unpleasant whenever one interacts with them, or a normal person who for whatever reason briefly exhibits knoblike tendencies that are out of character.

Possibly influenced by exposure to knobs themselves, as it's been proven that bad behaviour rubs off on others - e.g. if someone is in a pristine, beautifully kept beach or park or whatever they are less likely to be the one to drop their rubbish and face everyone's judging - if there are piles of junk everywhere, overflowing bins, etc they think 'Well one more can won't make any difference.'

I would but you mentioned bible bashing so here we are.

Are we good?

This is very wise. Genuinely.

Also a very big question! 😂

Most people are selfish entitled arseholes. People who go out of their way to be kind and helpful are treated like they are mugs and are exploited. Eventually those people wise up, set boundaries and then there are even fewer people thinking of anyone other than themselves. It’s a big pile of shite.

I do very little to make the world a better place outside of my circle of people I care about but I try not to make it worse for anyone else. Not everyone is even doing that.

My nerdy hobby is reading old local newspapers on the Newspaper Archive. You’d be amazed at how little has changed, really. Neighbours scrapping, suspicion of immigrants, wailing about adolescent degeneracy, fixed lotteries, even moaning about brides having ridiculously huge squads of bridesmaids (1922).

people have never ‘fixed each other’s crowns’. But they didn’t post a self-congratulatory TikTok when they did, either, which is a different variety of annoying.

How does feminism promote ‘SELF’? It is about equality. One could consider people who don’t want equality to be rather selfish.

Maybe that was the original intent but it's deviated quite significantly since then.

Equal pay, equal rights etc is perfectly reasonable.

Hating men and the women who love them as they are, for who they are, not so much.

So, depends on one's definition and choice of brand, I suppose.
