Is anyone else fed up with the “I don’t care” attitude people have developed since the pandemic?

Being an introvert is now glamorized while liking people and being social is considered a type of weakness. I have a cousin who has been saying this since the nineties, we were part of a close circle of friends but she has been since cut out, and guess what, she actually doesn't "not care"!

I’m an introvert who cares deeply about other people, has good social skills, and makes an effort with others. In fact, I think part of my introversion is due to the fact that I work at being kind and thoughtful towards others. I need alone time to recharge because when I’m with others, I give more than I take.

If people are using introversion to justify being jerks, they aren’t really introverts. They’re just selfish and lazy.

Some people are using "I'm an introvert" when they really mean "I'm a judgemental, anxious, agoraphobic jerk."

I'm an introvert who's living my life. In the early stages of the pandemic, I regularly walked with friends (not 6 feet apart). Then I joined outdoor fitness classes. Then I returned to the gym, saw people indoors with masked. Ate indoors. And progressed until I'm back to normal.

I still need to recharge by myself, at home. I don't need to hang out with people every day or even every weekend. But I have all my shots and value my quality of life. For the people that are naturally more social than me? Cool. For the people that are less? Cool. For the people that are using "introvert" as an excuse to judge people or as a cover for their anxiousness... that's a "you" problem.

Exactly this. The term introvert has been appropriated by people who are anti-social but don't like that term. People who have no friends are now calling themselves "introverts."

Oh okay. Sounds like the extroverts are just mad that their social calendar of endless kids parties are still curtailed. No one cares.

This
I forced myself to care about all these damn wasteful large kid parties pre pandemic, and it's been so glorious not to have to go and buy crap for them that I also no longer care.

Once I realized people were ok with me sacrificing my mental health so they could feel safe, I stopped caring about them. I had to. I was on a cliff, and I needed to be able to step back. I'm sorry that offends people, but I need to convince myself that my life matters.

What. doyou mean, specifically? I will say I find it annoying when people are like THERE'S A PANDEMIC AND WAR IN UKRAINE AND THE WORLD IS ENDING SO WHO CARES IF THERE'S A NUKE I WANT TO DIE. Like, drama much?

Not really, I think she makes a lot of sense. Continued covid precautions are all about people "feeling safe." They have no basis in current reality.

“Sacrificing my mental health” “on a cliff” GMAFB. She is a true drama queen. And I guess a snowflake, too.. I have REAL problems to worry about and don’t use this kind of language.

Funny I thought it was the opposite - people figured out boundaries and comfort levels in the pandemic and they are quite fine with telling friends and family to FO if they are pressuring to do, meet, or participate in something they don't want to do. Regardless of how 'upset' that makes other people.

This. So many people are still stuck in 2020 and it’s annoying. Move on already. There’s a jab now for those who want it plus we know what treatments work for it. If you’re relatively healthy, Covid is a nothing-burger. I’m sooooo over those people.

Oh ok. Tell that to the millions who have died around the world. Or the others using horse medicine or injecting bleach.

DP. Millions of vaccinated haven’t died. You made her point. It’s not 2020. We didn’t have vaccines than, now we do. Nobody is dying that is vaccinated.

Millions of healthy, vaccinated people, not already close to death's door (before contradicting covid) have NOT died from covid. Hell, even healthy unvaccinated people who didn't have multiple comorbidities and weren't 80+ have not died of covid.

Yep. I have a friend whose mom is 85, vaccinated and got Covid for a day. I saw two people in a car with masks on today. Tons has changed in 2 years but not for certain people.

I have totally witnessed society as a whole deteriorating in the pandemic. People have regressed to a childlike state wherein emotions aren’t real unless everyone can see them. So they cry on TikTok or scream in Target or rage at others in public while filming them. Nothing is real anymore unless 10k followers can livestream it. It’s pathological, everyone thinks they are the main character of their lives and the rest are supporting actors.

She must be unvaccinated and stopped listening to the news.
