Peoples minds are messed up there days, people are always wondering what people think about them, how people look at them, people are always wanting people to see them with things. Forget about what people think about you, forget about others and you will be better off in life.
The US has a mental health and societal problem. It's been a thing for decades. We will never completely eliminate it but I don't see anything being done about it. If anything I see it getting worse.
