I’m too grumpy to read that article, especially because The New York Times makes me so grumpy lately.
I can think of many reasons why everyone is so grumpy, including
- the news,
- the way the media covers the news,
- rapid changes we cannot control,
- physical pain,
- emotional pain,
- disconnection,
- overwhelming responsibilities and experiences,
- trauma,
- fears about the future,
- regrets about the past,
- miscommunication,
- grumpy strangers, friends, and family members, and
- the natural proclivity to focus on the negative.
