Why do people nowadays get creeped out so easily?

Question

Creeped out about seemingly EVERYTHING everyone does.

Answer 1

1 reason- We are being protected by everything.

Overprotective parent's...

Bush- who say's he's protecting us from terroist attacks...really? 9/11 happend but that's about it..

Or how about the patriot act?

We are just like the prince (who eventually became Budda) with an over protective parent's <<read about it's interesting

Answer 2

Cowards

Answer 3

Weak minded. Being babied too much. Not being introduced to the hard core realities of life. Instead people give explanations by sugar coating the examples.

Example: How would you explain drugs to your child?

I have done a very excellent job. Since they were 8 years old each. And trust me, our children are terrified of having anything to do with drugs, alcohol, robbery, rape, murder, theft and so on.

There are two ways to explain life.

1. Sugar coated and babied.

2. The realities. The cons of it all. Leave nothing out. (This was our way)

How would your child react in a life or death situation?

1. Would they scream a lot?

2. Call the police and hope?

3. Hope they can make it out alive?

4. Use every available resource to their advantage and fight? (This was also our way)

My wife and I are both former military. I, army, her Navy. She has a strong Russian heritage and I have a strong Native American heritage. Now combine the two and our histories and experiences and what do you get?

Our children, ages 11 and 14, are very wise and very brave. They do not fall prey to suckers with false ideals nor do they surrender to the likes of anyone. Many of you may disagree with this but it beats having a child that won't be resourceful or refuses to learn anything new.

Answer 4

it's a trend.

Answer 5

Creeped out about what please.  What is the subject?

Edit:

Thank you...not much to go on since everything covers it all with nothing left....ew that's kind of creepy (I mean negative) ; )

I'm not confused on many issues because I'm pretty grounded in common sense...still learning but not "creeped out".   I think you mean confused concerning others tho and some people are ridden with fear but they will get sick of the feeling or get sick...might be a test of strength.   I'm not that easily convinced in things that I've seen proved to be a big hoax or theory.  Sigmund Freud for instance....that person spread some pretty messed up rumors and a host of money was made off of what came out it and he most likely knew it or somebody else did later.

Answer 6

Because everyone and everything from the Federal Government to the lowliest newspaper scares us with their warnings.

Answer 7

We are being sold fear left and right. We are being trained to be fearful.

Answer 8

I think it's because we are so far removed from the natural world.  Not many live on the family farm and kill their own dinner, or have to clean it, then cook it, and eat it.  If you can do that, not much is going to creep you out.

Answer 9

Really? I'd think it's the opposite, I think society nowadays is better mentally prepared for the "creepiness" in general compared to society 30 yrs ago.
