Why has suddenly everything around us started being negative

Nah! we are just grown ups, that's how it works

You see, it all started when they shot that damn gorilla!

When you are young you have some hopes and dreams about your life and future. That job, career, relationship, holiday, travel.

Then things don't go as per plan, you look at your friends, family, colleagues moving ahead. Social Media and extreme connectivity amplifies this feeling. You struggle with your thoughts and start feeling unhappy. It happens with everyone.

Things will become better though once you realise that you have a different path for every one of the things mentioned above. The other thing is that your have to purge yourself of envy and stop feeling sorry for yourself. Always think of the privileges that you have. Most people on this platform are in the top 5% of the income bracket in India. Some older people are already in the Top 1%.

If you have a loving family and you are healthy and decent prospects, rethink what you feel and thank your stars for the life you have

Cheers

Bro just drown yourself in work and the gym. You'll be fine and ignore social media

Comparison is the thief of joy.
Too much information is available now into other people’s lives

Yes, this is the case with me as well🥲

Maybe it's because of too much exposure into other people's lives because of social media

Nope. Rather the opposite. I feel similar to how I felt before, sometimes much happier.

Crass consumerism. Read somewhere - " the best way to spoil something is to compare it".

Quarter life crisis.

No clarity of bigger "goals" in life.. Routine life Mundane job
No near term milestone in personal life (Marriage, kids, purchasing car, house etc)
