Why Is Everyone So Weird Today and Acting So Strange

Will Smith isn’t alone, many are losing their temper, and acting so strange across America and around the world.

We may feel that we are seeing more and more of this kind of behavior, but what is causing people to go out of their way to be weird or difficult? According to a recent article from Vice, it is the fact that we do not know what is normal anymore.

Acting so strange? Everyone does, myself included.

I don’t make a lot of outside interactions. I know that will soon change, I only need to be more aware of my feelings.

And never do this inside a plane or at the airport, you will regret it, ‘Man arrested after a viral attack of Southwest Airlines gate agent at Atlanta airport.’

A lot of people have zero patience, the last thing people want to deal with is an as*hole, so don’t be one.

But many believe as we ‘get our feet wet’ with our daily lives, it would soon get better.

We would hear fewer stories like that of a social media influencer who faked a supposedly “child kidnapping.”

Why Is everyone so weird today?

We have reached “peak weird”, so to speak, due to everything that is going on in our world. You would think, world leaders like Putin would do what is best for his people, but no, he takes Ukraine to war.

With this perspective, what is something that would be considered normal, and what has become abnormal?

If you’ve been feeling like everyone around you is acting strangely, you’re not alone. A recent study found that people are feeling more anxious and stressed than ever before. This can lead to some pretty weird behavior. So, why is everyone so weird today? Here are some possible explanations.

Although these days everyone is acting weird (is this a thing?), people’s behaviors can only be classified as strange when they are inconsistent with their true nature. Check Donald Trump, he’s still the same right? He’s not weird, he’s a threat to US democracy.

Or we have all forgotten that the world was full of people behaving badly prior to 2020?

I’ve been acting strange lately, what’s wrong with me?

Like all humans, people can only take so much in one day. There is no reason to put on an act around others if you are struggling or overwhelmed.

People will immediately pick up on your anxiousness or discomfort, so stop acting as though nothing is wrong when in reality it might be affecting how you’re acting and what you say.

If people were perfect they wouldn’t need any support.

People around you may be suffering from a lack of sleep, travel issues, the realization that their finances are in bad shape, or even grief.

The level of inconvenience may range from mild to severe, but the result is always the same:

Everyone needs time to deal with it.

Things are super weird right now, but it’s not a glitch

That’s according to Harvard theoretical physicist Lisa Randall, who once described the probability that we’re living in a giant video game of the future as “effectively zero”.

It’s just the way the Universe works.

Even if Elon Musk says that this world, we live in is a simulation, speaking of Musk, isn’t his behavior on Twitter a li’l weird? He even offered to buy Twitter for $43 billion, that’s weird.

Conclusion

Elon Musk wants to take us to another planet, and reboot human civilization but would that change people’s behavior or just take our weirdness to another planet?

Earth 2.0

We can all make excuses for our bad behavior; I know I have in the past. Was there an explanation for Will Smith’s behavior at the Oscars? Some past demons that were triggered by a joke? Or as Denzel Washington said to Will Smith, it’s the Devil.

Or was it a full Moon? Urban legends have spoken about people — going haywire around the time of the full Moon. But is there any truth to it? Depends on who you ask.

I believe it has something to do with all the people who are going through some kind of personal crisis right now. They’re not acting like normal people. I think it’s because we’re all so stressed out from work, school, family, friends, etc.

It’s like everyone is just trying to survive each day and not living life to its fullest potential.

I don’t have the answers because if I have, it will be so weird.

My final question to you is, ‘What is a weird person?’ or as BTS Suga once said, “Everyone is so weird today.
