I've been living here for 5 years now (Budapest) and recently i feel it is really going down hill community wise.
I see more n more stressed and tired faces - in stores, on the streets etc. I always greet and try to be friendly but i don't feel this is coming back anymore. Like it does not count so much anymore if you greet or not. People seem to be more selfish and just not looking&caring for others.
Examples: I don't have the correct change and store owners look at me like they wanna spit in my face (and i don't pay with 20k for a chewing gum). The Metro is every day a chaos run where the oncoming crowd takes 100% of the stairs/way and doesn't give a beep if people are coming the other direction. Drivers screaming/honking getting mad at people.
People in general being really grumpy.
Like yeah i know this happens and happened before but i do feel this is like default action by now.
Anyone feels the same or just me?
