In today’s world, everyone has probably asked themselves at least once: Why are people around us so aggressive, irritable, and closed off? Why has toxicity become the norm, while genuine emotions are rare? Let’s break down what’s happening and why society is slowly but surely deteriorating.
The Crowd Kills Individuality
One person might think, “Am I overdoing it?” — but in a crowd, self-control disappears. The crowd effect makes people aggressive, mean, and what is abnormal becomes normal. Trying to stay true to yourself can make you an outsider, leaving you alone.
Mental Garbage Clutters the Brain
Social media feeds are full of scandals, violence, and drama. Consuming this daily makes us accustomed to anger and irritability. Millions do the same — and toxicity becomes a social norm.
Information Bubbles
We choose content based on our preferences and beliefs, ignoring reality. As a result, any unpredictable situation throws us off balance, and interacting with people outside our “bubble” causes frustration and irritation.
Dependence on Other People’s Attention
Likes, views, comments — the new currency of self-worth. We no longer communicate; we perform monologues about who we want to appear to be, not who we are. This breeds envy, aggression, and a constant race for recognition.
People Have Become Consumers
In a world where business is built on greed, a person’s value is only as a buyer. When the money flow stops, anger and apathy appear. Society crumbles because we have stopped being humans and become tools of the economy.
Hyper-Individualism Destroys Connections
“Live for yourself” sounds appealing, but extreme egoism kills cooperation, trust, and shared goals. Without these foundations, toxicity flourishes, and man becomes a wolf to man.
Work Drains Humanity
We work more than we can, in exchange for stress and burnout. People lose their vitality, turning into exhausted, embittered functional robots.
Sex Has Become Empty
Intimacy is replaced by mechanics. We crave connection but fear opening up; we get bodies without emotional closeness, leaving us with emptiness and moral discomfort afterward.
Relationships Have Become Transactions
Love is like a marketplace: pick, try, discard. There is no depth — only packaging, complaints, and coldness behind the mask of “normal” relationships.
Education Has Become Formality
We are no longer taught to think, only to memorize standards. The result: adults with diplomas but no understanding of themselves or real life. This creates burned-out and insecure individuals.
Emotions Have Become Shameful
Crying is embarrassing, getting angry is dangerous. Fake positivity replaces real feelings. Emotions are suppressed, resulting in conflicts, illnesses, and toxic behavior toward others.
Life Is an Endless Race
Faster, higher, stronger. Everyone runs, but no one knows why. We lose ourselves in routine, forgetting that real life is not just about productivity and achievements.
Values Have Been Replaced by Trends
Today one thing is popular, tomorrow something else. Temporary ideas and trends replace true values, making people easily manipulable and destroying the solid foundations of society.
