Was just speaking to a few friends, and they all agree with me. I don't know how to explain this, but I say for myself, I used to be a happy-go-lucky kind of person before the pandemic. I was always full of life, making friends, and having hopes about the future. Although nothing is perfect, I still have problems. Before the pandemic, there was like a bit of an upbeatness to life, like nothing I could worry too much about. But ever since the start of the pandemic, I feel like I'm a completely different person. I'm no longer optimistic about the future, and I'm becoming more pessimistic about people and more pessimistic myself too. This is something I noticed a lot of people said too, and how people are before and after the pandemic, even the most mentally strong people I know, has become worse after the pandemic. The most positive people have become completely different from how they used to be, and how different things are now: the quality of everything has dropped, everything is becoming more expensive, and people are meaner and ruder. There are no more late-night 24/7 things anymore. Does anyone relate to this too? You used to be a happier person before covid/pandemic, and now it seems like you are a different person. Sometimes I look at the photos from a few years ago, 2018-2019, and miss how good times were back then. Now it feels like we are in a different world/planet, like 10 years, the shift from 2019 to 2020, in just 1 year after the pandemic. I don't know if I make sense.Even my gen x mum, in her early 60s, who has been through 911 and several disasters, said the same thing: she has never felt anything like this. Ever since covid, it has felt like the world has become a darker place, and nothing like she experienced, and the people who have been with her who experienced 911 and other disasters didn't change until covid. She felt like the closest people to her have changed and feel like there is something with the vibes.
