The Rise of Selfishness in Society

There is a growing trend of increasing narcissism and selfishness in society, exacerbated by the rise of social media. Research indicates that scores on the narcissistic personality inventory have risen, correlating with a mental health crisis marked by increasing rates of anxiety, depression, and loneliness. As people become more self-absorbed, they often neglect empathetic behaviors, which are crucial for community and personal well-being. This shift results in people feeling increasingly isolated and overwhelmed despite the conveniences provided by technology.
