Is life really shitty currently because we’re old or because it is actually really shitty?

r/

Of course life has always had ups and downs… and I’m not old enough to say it was better before but I do feel like it was. Not because of my childhood or whatever, but the world itself was in a better place I think. I don’t know.

    It’s actually pretty shitty right now. I wouldn’t say the worst it’s ever been, but worse than usual.

    Things are 10x less worse in real life, internet and social media exaggerates a lot. But indeed, it is shitty state right now and not really looking hopeful for the next years at least

    Being old doesn’t help one bit, but no that’s not the cause

    I’ve wondered if my youth had rose colored glasses. But I think, as someone approaching 40, the 90s was truly the last great decade.

    People of almost all ages are experiencing a decline in the quality of some area of life. However, some people may not realize or want to acknowledge it.

    Depends on your perspective and where you’re from. If you’re in America and you’re not marginalized, then yeah it’s pretty shitty compared to anyone’s collective memory.

    I think 99% of it is the internet doom and gloom. COVID sucked and I think after that I can pretty much deal with anything that comes my way.

    Could be a lot worse.
