I know, it feels that way doesn't it. But don't you dare say that's how it is.

I took too many psychoactive substances around 10 years back and went too in deep, have not been quite sure if I'm dead right now as everything has been different since then, but you kind of just roll with it and hope for the best so as not to come across sounding insane.

I've been feeling this way ever since puberty. I think it was the wrong one. But there's loads of other people who have felt the same way since then, with no apparent reason.

When did it start for you? If it was between 2008-13, or 2015-16, you're in good company. A few more people have felt this way since the early 2000s or around 2018.

And if you point it out to anyone, they get laser-aggressive toward you. It's very frightening just how quickly someone who's normally calm and open-minded becomes aggressive toward you on this subject. I think The Matrix explored this idea when they had agents take over people whenever there was a threat to the matrix's integrity; usually something that could expose it as fake.

I'd argue that when the movie was released, there has been unease ever since. But I quickly dismissed it as just being the way it is and just a fun story.

In more recent years I watch the news of world events dubiously, events don't seem to make sense and the subsequent actions are equally as bizarre. The response you speak of resembles the response to conspiracy theories as a whole, when a documented.event is exposed but quickly hidden, people become hostile when pointing out the facts.

The NPC meme become mes surreal when you just stop and watch people go by outside. People not going anywhere or just standing and staring at the wall. Once you notice one, you notice more. They are everywhere.

Or, we simply live in a highly digitalised propaganda machine of a society driven to make us stay edgy and fearful of the apocalypse through brainwashing, like on the movie They Live.

There's definitely a much deeper element to it than "society". Society is a very effective brainwashing tool on most, but it doesn't have metaphysical powers.

Do you ever escape to the coast or countryside where there's no mobile phone service and no traffic or city chaos? But coming back there is a brain fog? City life is toxic.

I don't live in a city. But it doesn't go away if I'm in the most remote place ever, and it all started very suddenly. It's gotten progressively worse since then, but the essence of it came on all at once.
