Is it normal to think humans have gotten crazier?

i blame the empowerment of women it changed the gender roles and now people don't know the place in society! we people cry and get all emotional instead of handling things like men. Its good to get in a fight once and while gets the crazy out of people one way or another

I feel that is the case also. But nobody really talks to anyone anymore. If I need a date I’d prefer to go online and look on a dating website bc if I talk to a perfectly nice lady next to me on the train or somewhere else in public I can’t anymore. They are either talking on the phone, listening to music, reading something, or has a face that seems to me is unapproachable. I’ve been called creepy for hitting on girls my dad said he used to hit on girls and he’s a baby boomer. Another thing is people are so more stressed out today because of the political environment. Global warming is worse than ever. People are so addicted to social media they have become more depressed and have more anxiety. I’m guilty of it as well. I’m a millennial. There’s more mass shootings today then when my dad grew up. You don’t know if your talking to a guy or girl these days because of sex change surgery. More people in the US or obese than ever bc McDonalds is cheaper than healthy food. College degree is worthless. I’m overqualified for high school level jobs and don’t have enough experience for jobs that I want bc the boomers won’t retire and are hogging better jobs. College debt is more stressful bc college is way too expensive. Healthcare is free and college is free in Germany where my ex girlfriend lives and here it is too expensive. They have gun laws over there to protect civilians from themselves. Less shootings than US. Less polluting. People take more public transport there and taxes are higher there but work less hours and get paid more money mzinimun wage there. Also school system is better there. Wish I learned how to do taxes in high school instead of some useless stuff I learn in school that doesn’t prepare me for real world. She said internships are 3 yrs over there so people actually no what they are doing at their jobs their instead of in the US where you get hired easier by knowing someone personally and get hooked up or by knowing a little more than other interviewers but not enough to do Job and have nobody that cares to train you on the job. Doctors over prescribe medicine in the state and massive opioid problem like we’ve never seen in US ever. Drugs like fetanyl and stronger marijuana making more people go crazy. Lack of mental health education and no facilities. More homelessness. More pollution these days and deforestation and natural disasters that are more powerful come in higher frequency these days. The US has the highest number of people incarcerated in the world. No gun laws. People don’t feel safe under the new president. All races feel less safe these days bc of political environment. Less mobility to move up these days. Millennial s are most educated generation but least paid. Because college is a scam and they don’t tell you not to take a useless art degree and do healthcare or another field with higher chance of degree. Women and Men generally hate each other. MGTow vs feminization. Middle class is evaporating. I have to live at my parents basement bc life is too expensive. I Job they had back in the day that ensured you could live on your own doesn’t cut it anymore. The world is overpopulated. We will run out of enough food and clean water by the year 2100 if things don’t change. At least I’ll be dead by then. I’m a black male by the way. Will not get married because or have kids because of the problems I listed above. I also have schizophrenia but can’t get treated because my Medicaid ran out and it is $1000 day to go to hospital a day if I ever got injured and had to go without insurance. My ineffective anti anxiety and anti-psychotic medicine is too expensive now so I had to stop taking it cold turkey after 12 years because I lost my Medicaid. When I used to see my doctors they just prescribed me different meds and took my money instead of helping me with my problem. The only good thing I can say is I’m never having a kid so they would never have to feel like me ever. Too much bullying in school and online trolls make everyone miserable. If I’m missing something or forget an issue I’m sure I did. Also animals are going extinct at an alarming rate. Nuclear weapons developed by countries are becoming more potent if we ever had WW3 we could all be wiped out. Can’t talk to my parents about my problems because they work too many hours to help me survive my life. Other countries have more vacation days after a birth of a kid in Germany where my ex girlfriend is from and other European countries. In the US under Family medical leave act I think it is about 12 weeks of paid vacation. In Europe it is up to 3 years off after a birth and some of those countries there in and Canada work less hours a week than avg American. Scandinavian countries are among the happiest countries in the world because their life conditions are better than US. If US looked at what other countries where doing better than America and adopted to US instead of being arrogant and saying we are the smartest and richest and most powerful it would be much better. US doesn’t need the best army and waste so much money on military and sending so many people to die for meaningless wars instead of addressing major problems at home in every way you can think of. Singapore has the best educational system in the world for high school kids as well as Iceland according to what I looked at online. Denmark is the least corrupt. Switzerland has the best overall living conditions when you factor in everything o talked about. Canada is 2. Germany is 4th. US dropped to 7th. In education the US is in the low 20s. US has the 2nd best doctors in the world. Germany has the best doctors according to what I researched. New Zealand has one of the lowest percentage of shootings in the world. Americans can only speak English. My parents are from Haiti and my mom and dad speak English Spanish and French fluently. I can only speak English and barely conversational French in addition to English. If the US took a look at what other countries where doing better than us instead of saying we are the best than we would have less problems and people here would be less crazy. In case you are wondering I am 32 black male. American born. College educated. No Job no healthcare No girlfriend anymore. Live in my parents basement. I live near New York City on Long Island, NY in a relatively affluent neighborhood. Both my parents are physicians. My sisters are a lawyer and secretary. I’m bitter. Underemployed. Not because I haven’t been applying to jobs because I wasn’t qualified. Thinking about vocational school now to learn a blue collar trade like plumbing electrician or carpentry. I’m also 22000 dollars in debt because of college. Paranoid about my health because my meds are too expensive with no Medicaid. No girlfriend prospects anymore because girls today aren’t interested in a guy with no job that lives with parents. I do have a car and cell phone at least. My family ignores me because I’m not ad high as achiever as them. They only care about money. So yes I’m fucked when I think about it. Japan has the longest life on avg in the world because they eat the healthiest. Around 84years old. I’m not 100% accurate about everything and I’m sure I’m biased because of my experience here as opposed to Canada France Germany England and Haiti. I’ve seen 3rd world living conditions as well as the best I could imagine. Nobody helps homeless guys often. They are usually on their own. I try to give some money to some not all on the street if I can afford to spare change. People are sexually frustrated in the USA. They show more boobs on European regular tv tha US. People are more comfortable talking about sex in Europe and are less prude. We are afraid to all about sex but many guys including me watch a lot of internet porn. People can go to jail more easier in the US than many other countries. I’m guilty of stereotyping others as well as having some racist views sometimes because of what I’m exposed to on the news and tv. I stopped watching tv and following celebrities and politics and sports and religion as a result. I read more and play more video games on my down time now. Exercise occasionally. Prostitution should be legal like Germany and Netherlands and Thailand. People shouldn’t be arrested for that. If I was able to approach a girl without being labeled creepy or harassing and I could pay a women for a half hour release and not worry about jail time I would watch a lot less Porn and I would be happier as a result. All the problems in the US and the world are fixable. When politics become less toxic. I don’t affiliate as democrat or republican because I think neither side gives a shit about anyone. Obama and Trump both didn’t care enough. Obama enacted laws to make it easier for the government to spy on everything you do here. Ed Snowden look up. I also looked up patriot act enacted by George bush after 9/11 which he could have prevented. Wars are started to distract people from real problems going on. Entertainment and sports and politics are all distractions. If you want to be happier than talk to that neighbor you are suspicious might not be nice because he doesn’t look like you. Smile at random strangers and maybe engage in a random conversation at a gym with someone you wouldn’t usually talk to. Thats what I do. My life is getting better but I still think my generation overall is crazier than my parents and grandparents generation. One more thing my grandma and parents have social security. I can never retire because social security is running out of money and the USA is close to 20 trillion dollars in debt. If the 1% of rich Americans spread the money around more evenly we would have lesss problems here. On avg an American ceo makes 343 Times what an average worker makes. Half the country lives in poverty for such a rich country. We have the greatest inequality in wealth in the world. The USA has the most billionaires. We spend too much money on space exploration. And can’t fix domestic problems in the world first. And I could name many other countries we can learn from to improve the country. I have more examples but it would take forever. Sorry for the long rant and everybody from around the world have a nice day.

I feel the same!!! People are getting crazy and are offended by every little thing anyone does. People are so crazy that in Seattle, the government wants to make “safe injection sites” which are places where people can shoot up on heroin with medical professionals on standby in case of an OD and no legal consequences.

I just think there's more exposure to it now due to the vast array of medias

It's the Russians, and they're sending Spetsnaz to steal our inflatable sex dolls. Then all HELL will break loose, oh the horror, the horror.............

I kinda feel that way too lol

Another thing that's changed so much is how so many news articles, "breakthrough" discoveries, and the latest studies always now claim about how this, that, and everything is now discovered to be the opposite from what it once was. Examples include an article in Reader's digest about how scientists have now discovered that most vitamins and minerals (including vitamin c, the B vitamins, folic axid, and even calcium) no longer have the health benefits people always thought they had and some are dangerously toxic even when going just slightly over the 100% Daily value. Another is about aerobic excersising, 30 min a day 5 days a week no longer improves your heart, but interval training 2-3 times a week does. There are many other examples I know but I cannot write a comment 20 full pages long.
