Understanding the Decreasing Tolerance and Empathy in Social Interactions

Social interactions are becoming more painful due to decreasing tolerance and empathy. As people use more technology, their capacity to emotionally regulate decreases, leading to increased irritability. Radicalization from echo chambers on social media platforms also contributes to reduced empathy. Burnout further diminishes people's capacity for empathy, making it harder for them to be decent human beings. While it is challenging to change others, there are strategies to better tolerate and enjoy social interactions.
