drama and wants to be part of a large outpouring of emotion.

DISCLAIMER before I go on: I am not talking about any CBer. I also recognize that rational people are all across the spectrum on reacting to Covid 19.

Back to my post. Some people always seem to be engrossed in the latest sad news story and they get almost OCD about whatever it is. Whether it’s a murder of someone they don’t know in their town, the Lori Vallow thing, crying over Kobe’s death even though they had no idea what he even looked like the day before or whatever.

I’m not lumping everyone who was sad about Kobe into this. Nor am I lumping everyone who follows the Lori Vallow thing closely into this.

I will say I think from 10-20% of the population seems to feel a compulsion to find something to be sad or scared about. And their actual life seems meaningless to them or boring when something like that doesn’t exist.

The current situation is Christmas x 10 for them.
