As I grew Up
Things my teenage self couldn't understand about adulting

Why am I getting disappointed in people around me day by day.
Was I too shiny-eyed for this world when I was younger, that everyone seemed so good to me?
Or is everyone just sour now that I grew up?
Do people no longer listen when others speak?
Why does everyone have a closed mindset of what they already believe and wants to hear others speak only when they are truly open for suggestions; which is only once in a blue moon.
“Do people just not care about hurting others anymore?”
When did I become a part of a world that teaches everyone to live on their own terms?
I know setting boundaries is important.
But I always thought going out my way to accompany my friend to the scary staffroom was something normal.
Does it hurt to go out of your way for your friend's sake?
Or am I just being a doormat for thinking that way?
“When did the world start getting many of its many main characters who just started to see everyone else as their NPCs?”
I guess flat earthers are a thing of the past and now we have "I AM THE EARTH"-ers to deal with.
Why are people's selfish ways being normalized so easily?
Why hoping to have a person in life with basic good tendencies is considered delusional?
Are all relationships being toxic also normalized?
Are people becoming nonchalant or is everything just becoming normalized in an instant?
Do people just start believing everything new that just comes up?
Or are they just accepting the fact?
Isn't it becoming more and more easy to convince people who are always busy;
Struck in their thoughts; Struck in a rat race of their own?
“Where will it all end — a world without time for empathy, love?”
Or will we become "the robots" which we fear might take over us?
