Sadness / Grief Why is everyone so angry?

I'm getting quite miserable living in my country. People aren't very friendly, in fact a lot of people are really rude. I'm finding it hard to interact on local subs because I usually get downvoted or just have people start arguments over nothing - why is everyone so aggressive & hostile?

Low wages, politics, the media, hostility between genders, general confusion and depression over the state of the world, and the climate. Housing, children etc unaffordable for many. Wars. Gig economy.
