social media especially
like, i understand that people want connection and to feel like they're in a community but i feel like there's no longer any effort to actually try to communicate or relate to people
everything and everyone is a brand, mental illness is a meme
you no longer have to mull over a subject, you just say the first thing that comes to mind. everyone's mad about something and they tweet about it everyday or make a tiktok or whatever the hell
why would you ever stop and think about something when you can just be mad first
I'm definitely not innocent of this (and anger can be a justified, useful tool) but there are some people whose entire online persona is being angry all the time and I have no idea how they do it. Maybe we're just wired different? Either way I can't be around them for long; it's exhausting.
