• Kasuku said economic challenges and financial pressure are major reasons many people appear angry on social media.
• He noted that some people become frustrated when others achieve success before them despite their own hard work.
• Kasuku encouraged Ugandans to remain patient, keep working, and trust that their breakthrough will come at the right time.

Social media personality Kasuku has shared his thoughts on why social media platforms appear to be filled with more anger and frustration than ever before.

Speaking during a recent conversation with Sheilah Tusiime, the pair reflected on the changing nature of online interactions and why many people seem quick to react negatively to differing opinions.

According to Sheilah Tusiime, social media serves multiple purposes, including helping people earn a living and providing a platform where individuals can freely express their views. However, she acknowledged that differences in opinion often create friction among users.

Kasuku agreed and pointed to several factors he believes are contributing to the growing tension online, with economic hardship topping the list.

“The economy isn’t doing well,” he said, explaining that financial pressure has left many people frustrated and emotionally drained.

He added that another major issue is comparison. Many people, he noted, spend their time looking at the success of others and wondering why they have not achieved similar results despite putting in significant effort.

According to Kasuku, society has conditioned many people to believe that hard work automatically guarantees success. While hard work remains important, he believes today’s world increasingly rewards those who also learn to work smart.

He further observed that some individuals become resentful when they see others enjoying opportunities, wealth, or recognition that they feel they deserve.

“Some people think what others have should be theirs because they have worked so hard and have not gotten a breakthrough at all,” he explained.

Kasuku encouraged Ugandans to avoid comparing their journeys with those of others, emphasizing that success comes at different times for different people.

“Ugandans need to understand that we are all not going to break through at the same time,” he said.

Drawing from his personal experience, Kasuku revealed that he had once dreamed of meeting the President, a goal he held onto for nearly 15 years. However, the opportunity only came much later when he had almost forgotten about it.

The media personality used the story as an example of why patience remains important, even when prayers and ambitions seem unanswered.

He encouraged people to continue praying, working hard, and trusting the process, believing that their moment will eventually arrive.

“People need to learn how to pray and keep working hard because one day God will answer your prayers,” he said.

Kasuku concluded with a message of hope, urging people to celebrate the success of others rather than becoming bitter about it, reminding them to keep “clapping for others until it’s their turn.”
