If I had to make a call, I would say the lack of human contact (in person, phone calls etc) in lockdown type places leaves people with more (perhaps vastly more) internet based contact. Which has its own points good and bad. Among the bad is a tendency to over-dramatize, get infuriated over little things, get personal attacks going rather than addressing points being made (or made badly). Financial stresses, strains with vax among work colleagues, family etc arent helpful in that regard either.

There is so much potential for things to go the other way too. Just recently my inquiry to a fatigued-sounding lady working at a supermarket had a very unexpected unburdening and empathizing outcome.. a perfect stranger confiding with me how rotten a day she was having, how her coworkers were ill and she was feeling the pressure from her boss to work long hours to make up the staffing shortfall, and how nice it was for someone to ask how she was and being patient rather than pushy.. its the little things that make all the difference now and then.

If you are feeling the strain, ease off and switch out your mind to focus on something else for a change rather than going with the aggression.. get some fresh air and sunshine and introspect a bit.. or just exercise. There are always more battles to fight & always people willing to stand in while you take a breather.

Then come back! Quitters dont win and winners dont quit.
