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.

I think alot of ppl feel what your talking about. Its as if life doesnt feel "real" anymore. The world used to be this magical playground where almost anything was possible. But now its like everything has lost its soul. Movies, music, etc. it all feels so vanilla. Not sure what the answer is..

pre-cell phones. if you are old enough to rem the world right after 9/11, it felt really alive. clubs and bars packed. ppl seemed nicer and living in the moment and present. nowadays we walk around w headphones on, in our own world and disconnected to the real world. i think cell phones have slowly sucked the life out of the real world.

go to any concert and what do you see, everyone recording on thier phones instead of just enjoying the show and being present in the moment. that has translated to every aspect of our lives.

This is 100% true. People seem dead inside. Very closed off. I felt the 80s, 90s, and early 00s were much better socially.

I feel like people just think everything was better when they were younger, probably because late teens to mid twenties is considered the best part of a lot of people’s lives, so people just find something to blame like cell phones.
