16 things that quietly destroy us that society refuses to pay more attention

From everyday bad habits to hidden toxins to deeper systemic problems, countless factors that quietly leave our physical and mental health. Many of them are so normalized that we hardly question them – but that does not mean that they do not harm us.

Reddit users have recently been opened about everything they think that we are slowly killing that society is just pretending is no problem. Here everything they have shared is:

1.“Tension.”

—Sugar182

2.“The Hoops people now have to jump through to only have a job. Ghost tracks, AI screening CVs, remotely work that is not really remote (especially on remote control that people do not tell where they can and cannot hire), easy to rent and switch, and the work platforms that make scammers possible.”

“All these things only to be able to participate in society. Yet people always give useless advice that is often contradictory. Raundied the mental health of people, and it would not surprise me if people here would take their own lives.”

—Warative

3.“Mental health struggle – fear, depression, burning out – and how they are often ignored or stigmatized in favor of ‘Targhoint’, or simply pushing by. The social pressure to constantly perform and be productive can lead to mental exhaustion, but it feels in many ways.”

4.“The bad understanding of everyone of nutrition.”

“Came to write this. I learn nutrition, and the same terrible mythical food-zonzin keeps going on. For clarity, the problems are not enough real food, not enough cooking, too much junk and so many people who take random supplements themselves, do not understand industry.”

—ZPLQ7957

5.“Disinformation, 100%.”

-Sixplixit

6.“Microplastics. Get this. Plastic was made in 1907, making it about 118 years old. It has been around a century, and it is everywhere. Antarctica? Microplastics! Deepest Oceans! Microplastics? Microplastics! Nylon, Polyester, Acrylic, and Very difficult.”

7.“Addiction of mobile phones and addiction on social media.”

—Disisrucidity

8.“Insulation of our direct communities. The ability to go online and to avoid interacting with your immediate environment has paralyzed the social capacity of predominantly social animals.”

9.“Loneliness.”

—Seatle_aries

10.“Lack of empathy for fellow people.”

—Crazycatlady331

11.“Sedentary lifestyle. Most people I know are 8 hours a day. Maybe a tenth I know. Spinal problems, posture problems, breathing problems, blood stream problems. We are not born to sit so much for this long time.”

12.“Immediate satisfaction. With the increase in technology we have become impatient and entitled. We want immediate results for everything. We go to a restaurant, immediate results. We go to a hospital, immediate results. We have lost our ability to wait for something. Patience is a virtue that unfortunately does not have much.”

—Tlungerofphunts

13.“Anti-intellectualism.”

– Chiperoni

14.“Cars and car-related support industries. Consider how many superfund sites and cancer-like chemicals are generated to support cars. Furthermore, Florida is going to make radioactive waste roads. Eight million people die annually from fossil fuel-related diseases.

-Steffie-bottle

And finally:

16.“Afkomstig van iemand die chronisch ziek is en in de volksgezondheid is: BPA’s, microplastics, pesticiden, schimmels en mycotoxinen, chronische virale infecties, kleurstoffen in ons voedsel, suiker, alcohol, algemene ontstekingen, bewaarders, zware metalen, ontbreekt, liften van de sedent, sedenterie, vitamine, vitamine en minerale deficiencies, sedentale Lifearms, dismissal, vitamin and mineral deficiencies, sedental lifferrons, dismissal, vitamin, vitamin and mineral deficiencies, sedental lives, vitamin and stress … I would say that the tip of the top is. “
