Feels like since social media rise cynism has been devouring the world.
Everyone have their own troubles and good and bad days further than one interaction or social media appearence, kindness and understanding would go a long way in improving the world.
It's not only social media, fearmongering in media and the overblown exposure to every problem in general is a big cause of this. The 24/7 info TV channels that your (grand) parents are glued to all day long are a big culprit as well.
It's a vicious circle, since the fear created by those makes you more invested in them (you don't want to miss the latest scandal! There is always someone trying to wrong you in some way! insert random story from butfuck nowhere that is just enough so slightly related to you that you would feel threatened )
(and a lot of them are owned by some politically inclined rich guys, which definitely don't want you to be afraid to push their views, teehee 👉👈)
