People have become nastier

Has anyone else noticed this?

It seems in the last ten years, the general public just seem to be way more judgmental and hostile. Especially to those with mental health issues or anxiety, it makes it difficult to even go to the shops.

I thought maybe I’m imagining it, because I’ve become more aware of my condition and being in active recovery. However, I look at the popularity of ideas like ‘suicidal empathy’ or the hate towards the ‘woke mind virus’, and come to the conclusion that it‘s just more acceptable to be selfish and cruel.
