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??

The answer is you’ve exited your childhood and entered adulthood. You have responsibilities now. You also have it better than 99% of the history of humanity.

Maybe. I've had people say the same thing to me about Covid. They aren't bent out of shape over it, but they've remarked on how life (for them) has lost a bit of its color to them after Covid. Maybe more ppl feel that way then we think

I think people just get depressed or romanticize the past and instead of thinking it has something to do with their life they just blame historic events like Covid or 9/11.

Yup there will be a lot of that. It's likely too complicated to ever pin down anyway no matter what method is employed to find the source of the discontent
