What is wrong with people today when they act so robotic in nature and don't seem to care about people in general?

Answer 1

There are some very nice people out there in society no matter where you live, but it's like Forrest Gump said, 'Life is like a box of chocolates .. you just never know what you are going to get.' Chocolates come with hard nuts, other with cream which are mellow people and some Dark Chocolate and these people generally have a mystery surrounding them and when out in society you just never know what flavor you are going to meet, but you have the total control of the ones you want to kick to the curb and others you want to keep as friends. Some people are rude and uncaring because they generally have problems in their own lives and don't have the tools to cope with those problems, while others come from a background that has left them bitter and out to get the world. A waste of energy! For those of us that are caring we just have to find the right people that suit our needs and they are out there if we decide to seek and find. All individuals go through a phase in their lives when they get cherry pits thrown in their face, but just when you think the world has gone truly mad and no one really cares about you someone comes along and changes all that. A very wise person told once ... 'When you go through life and count five good friends on one hand then you are a very fortunate person.' Individuals simply have to be more selective as to facial expressions and body language of those around them and that is one good way of deciding who you want as a friend or girlfriend/boyfriend. While technology has it's upside it also has it's downside such as the internet where people join different forums. There are some forums (such as this one) that is a good thing, yet many other forums can leave people feeling worse off than when they started. It's up to the individual to make smart choices and browse each website they go too. People need to get up off their butts from their computer and get out in the real world. If an individual has confidence in themselves and likes themselves for who they are then people that give them an attitude shouldn't phase them and you simply move on.

There could be various reasons for people acting robotic or indifferent. It may be due to high stress levels, burnout, or mental health issues like depression. Additionally, societal factors such as technology and social media can contribute to a lack of genuine human connection.
