RE: Psychology: Why Is Everyone So Sad?

in #depression6 years ago

I recently thought about why I love the vibe of 80’s so much. Why it seemed like a lovely and more happy time. Internet wasn’t around. People were going out more, meeting each other face to face. They felt sad? They went out in the nature, to the pub, to friends to talk to, did something creative with their time to take their thoughts away from the sad stuff. What do we do now? We sit home and watch Netflix to not to think about anything. We do not even notice how time passes. Everything is a blur. We numb ourselves and ignore the real world. We do not even notice how our skills of communicating face to face fade, how awkward we have become around each other. We isolate ourselves and yet crave some sort of a connection. We crave it, but don’t do anything about it and then we get sad and lonely. We live in our imagination, delusions about each other and the world. We look through feed of all the happy, beautiful moments in people’s lives, their smiles and all, but we never see the ugly parts, the things that were left out of the picture, the heartbreak, everything we are ashamed of, everything we think no one wants to know about and as a result we see a distorted reality that is not really the reality at all. And then we wonder what is wrong with us? Or the world?

Thank you for talking about this. It is an important topic and wish more people would think about these things.
