I've been alone for a long time. It first started because of the actual sickness in the world. Then, it moved on to the sickness that you are talking about. People are angry and crazy and much more difficult to trust. I don't think I blame them. Prices in the grocery store have more than doubled in a couple of years. Rent has gone up. People are doing their best to get by but the world has become a very difficult place. People want to take it out on other people. I honestly don't know the answer.  I've just gotten used to being alone.
