It would be nice to be kind… but I’ve found people are just getting more predatory and boundary stomping to the point I’m forced to be hostile to protect myself. :(

Absolutely, and it's painful to do because it goes against our personalities and our very nature as human beings. Empathy and compassion is sacrificed for survival.

I have hope kindness and love will prevail, but our suffering in the meantime is wearing on me.
