  Americans are afraid of each other

  They’re afraid of someone knocking on the door

  They’re afraid their boss will fire them and they will lose their health insurance

  They’re afraid of other countries

  I spend a lot of time in the US, and I’ve never seen anywhere with people constantly on edge. They’re so used to it that they don’t notice any more

  I’ve never seen anywhere so ruled by fear

    They are afraid of people in public transit.

    Their fear of others also drives them to get bigger and bigger cars, causing them to become even more detached from anyone who is not already close to them.

      Everything is an arms race, and life is seen as a zero-sum game

    Well if I was standing next to someone called “FistingEnthusiast” I might be quite fearful myself!

      It’s all consensual.

  Unfortunately, that’s the majority of Americans.

  When looking at the social anxiety epidemic across America, very much affecting young people, I’m sorry to say this is not true.

  People think they’re unique in not wanting to pick up a phone to order a meal from a restaurant, but it’s everyone now. SO many people want to minimize social contact to an extreme degree. It’s part of why political opposition to rampant oppression is so lack luster.
