It seems like no one wants to be nice anymore. Has anyone else noticed this?

I run into friendly people every day. Just yesterday at one of the grocery stores, I was walking in with my coffee, wind blew the automatic door off the track, when I caught it my coffee splashed. Manager goes "wow fast reflexes... let me buy you a coffee." Guy coming in the door offered me a handkerchief to clean up. Another lady offered to hold my cup and gave me her shopping cart. They brought me another coffee by the time I made it out of the produce section. I always bring the staff at the Veterinarian's office coffee on cold days. They bring me cookies and muffins, usually healthy ones because they know I eat clean for my races. Drop something on the street and 5 people are going to reach for it to help you pick it up. Maybe chase it down if it's windy. I can't even walk outside in the cold half the time without the nearest woman grabbing my scarf and saying something like "let me get you warm before you go out there." Haha it's like I'm just grabbing my credit card out of the car... dropped my badge... I'll be okay. Thanks though. Honestly I could do that naked it's only like 50 degrees out. Go to happy hour by yourself... look like you're having a bad day? Somebody is going to buy you a drink and strike up a conversation inside of 20 minutes tops.

People find it easy to suck at life online. It's not as bad as it seems when you're "out there" though. I'm sorry you've had occasion to forget that lately.

Probably also today's "winner-take-all " which seemingly precludes empathy and respect.

@handsomelad70 I'm afraid I don't follow

Well, people want to emulate 10-year-old spoiled brats.(Including Yours Truly sometimes.)

I feel like that is only on the internet. IRL I notice lots of nice people out and about but maybe that is because I am nice to others too.

I'm tired of being nice to people who use, bully and manipulate me as they choose money and morals

money over morals

blame politics. You have to insult and demean your opponents.
