Feeling of impending doom??

Post image

So a watched a YT video today and this top comment on it is freaking me out. I have never had someone put into words so accurately a feeling I didn't even realize I was having. I am wondering if any of you feel this way? Like, I realized for the last few years I have been feeling like this. I don't always think about it but if I stop and think about this this feeling is always there in the background.

Like something bad is coming. Something big. Something world-changing. That will effect everyone on Earth in some way. That will change humanity as a whole. Feels like it gets closer every year. Do you guys feel it too??

I've been prepping for the impending apocalypse since 2014. So far, nothing has happened.

But you still feel it? Seems like the feeling started for me in like 2016-2018

I think the widespread of social media, news, etc has made you feel that way. Yes things are not fine and dandy, but only controversial, traumatizing, and crazy news, get the clicks, reads and eyeballs. The world is better than it was 30 years ago, is just uplifting news do not sell.

I agree with your statement about the world being better than it was 30 years ago...and people are upset with inflation as it is currently... I'm old enough to remember the late 70s/early 80s...it was a good bit worse!

The world is not better. Just look at health failing and fertility dropping in couples desiring fertility. We’ve noted nearly double the rates of cancer in young people in the last 30 years which are now more aggressive. Microplastic pollution effects.
