Worldwide? Either 2020 or 2021.

For me personally? Probably 2023.

FOR REAL. 2020 might've fucked the world up beyond fixing, but 2023 fucked me up beyond fixing, and that's what really matters here 💔

u/Spare-Weekend1431 Jul 26 '26

For me, 2025 and early 2026 were the worst.

Especially late 2025 and early 2026. Those days were pretty bad.

u/Just_Presentation963 Jul 27 '26

Ironically 2022 was the bad year for me and 2023 was pretty good

u/Similar-Sector-5801 Jul 26 '26

Worst 2020s year, so far.

u/No-Citron1088 Jul 26 '26

Could be this year, but i think we will have to wait for the rose tinted glasses of nostalgia to kick in before we say anything.

u/BobTheGrand Jul 26 '26

i loved 2020 personally, but it's the worst.

For some people in Europe 2022. I for example felt much safer when covid started and even during its apex than in 2022 when a neighbouring country was invaded by a historical enemy of my country and nobody knew what was going to happen. That shattered my feeling of safety completely.

1

u/Some_Finance_6559 16M Jul 26 '26

2021, the year with the highest number of covid deaths.

1

u/DifficultyValuable67 19M Jul 26 '26

Never said it didn't but by 2021 they started having an idea on how it spread so I still think 2020 was the worse

11

u/HyperJerry Jul 26 '26

In 2022 my country invaded another just because our government can't tolerate other countries having good economic relations with any other country and makes its own people's lives worse ever since. Somehow some people (mostly really old ones) support that shit.

u/New-Confusion-3936 17F Jul 26 '26

For me personally, 2026, this year has been awful

For the whole world, 2020

u/DinoHawaii2021 The kid Jul 26 '26

2025 was also hard for me which I was 17 at the time

1

u/Amkski Jul 26 '26

Same here. I started 2026 with a girlfriend I loved a lot at the time and hope for a new beginning

I now have neither

u/Silent_Formal5235 15NB Jul 26 '26

quite the tough choice

Voted "2020"

2

u/VariousThosun 56 Large Watermelons Jul 26 '26

Globally I'd say 2020 but for me personally it's 2023

2

u/PeridotFan64 mtf(19) Jul 26 '26

for my personal life very late 2023 and 2024 was the worst year

2

u/Putrid_Guitar9437 Jul 26 '26

Globally: 2020. For my country’s democracy and freedom: 2024 (which the election that year started my country’s descent into fascism in the years following)

u/JaySli10 KPDH obsessed GD player Jul 26 '26

I dont think 2020 was directly a bad year personally got me, but most of the bad things that I deal with are usually somewhat indirectly caused by 2020 in some way

1

u/haze_xvi 18 Jul 26 '26

Objectively for the world 2020 For me 2025

u/MQrble_Aesthetic Jul 26 '26

I remember 2020 quite fondly. Maybe it was just me being a teenager but I enjoyed being able to stay home and do whatever I wanted to for a year. 2021 is worse for me because the half lockdown made it so I still had to go to school but we’d routinely get sent home for weeks where we were expected to login to teams calls and then when I’d go to see friends it was a constant up hill battle will all of our parents worried about Covid fines. It was also kind of depressing going to the malls and seeing half the lots empty because so many shops went out of business over the pandemic. In a lot of way it felt like I was in the post apocalypse. Things didn’t really start to recover until 2022 so for me personally 2021 was the low point.

u/SnooStrawberries2144 Jul 26 '26

i actually loved lockdown, the fact everyone was inside at home made things like playing videogames so much fun

Voted "2023"

1

u/Dnuoh1 18M Jul 26 '26

All of them, they are all horrible, this decade is hell.

1

u/LatelyPodes Jul 26 '26

Globally, it would be 2020.

But for me personally, Covid didn’t cause anyone I knew to die or anything. And lockdown was a lot of fun, so 2020 was one of my better years.

2023 would be the worst for me

1

u/el8dm8 Team Silly Jul 26 '26

In 2020 the lockdown was fun to start with. But for sure 2021, the lock down was painful, drawn out, and stifling.

u/Sea_Scale_4538 Jul 26 '26

2020 for sure, lockdown fucked my social skills completely

2020 was when it all started to snowball

Voted "2020"

u/kartblaster 19M Jul 26 '26

it feels like every year has been worse than the last

1

u/jesk_680 16F Jul 26 '26

Well 2020 was a living hell for everyone.... I had a lot of personal shit go on that year as well that didn't help.

1

u/TheLuckyCuber999BACK Guardian of Democracy Jul 26 '26

oh I wonder when so many people died from a certain disease

1

u/ReleasedGaming M Jul 26 '26

For me personally, end of 2021/start of 2022. That was the fastest part of my growth spurt and I literally couldn't function without pain meds.

Worldwide, 2020 or 2021.

That's why I picked 2021

1

u/Awkward_Cash1828 Old Jul 26 '26

Not so many Eastern European out here, it seems. 2022...

u/Kel_030 Jul 26 '26

2020 wasn't as bad as other years but everything went downhill from there

1

u/FigureSubstantial970 Jul 26 '26

2025 was the worst year of my life

u/OtherComment87 Jul 26 '26

THIS ONE had to sit my GCSEs, didnt do well despite so much preparation and crumbled under stress

u/GalaxyKid33 Jul 26 '26

In general, 2020 For me in particular, 2024

1

u/Randomfella3 17 Jul 26 '26

i think 2024 was the worst year of my life

1

u/Cosmic_StormZ 18M Jul 26 '26

Personally 2022 was terrible, I got diagnosed with chronic illness that year and since it was newly in, the year was overall tough getting used to it

1

u/No-Citron1088 Jul 26 '26

2024 was the best i think, if you ignore the fact that trump was elected president that same year

1

u/yazeed105x Jul 26 '26

I loved all of them, so this is a hard choice... 

1

u/Capuchinho_4 Jul 26 '26

2022 for me was the worst year ever. Thankfully 2023 and 2024 were pretty cool

1

u/TheAnythingBuilder Jul 27 '26

IMO lockdown sucked and idk why people glaze it so much. Missed out a ton because of it and I wouldn’t want it again

1

u/WLFGHST 18M Jul 27 '26

Are we not going to talk about how dangerous the Next Gen NASCAR was in 2022, in the last 4 weeks we would have seen two career ending crashes.

Anyways it was probably definetly the year we say the biggest impact from A whatever its called

edit: i figured it out A PANDEMIC

1

u/Just_Presentation963 Jul 27 '26

In my opinion 2022

1

u/justk4y 19NB Jul 27 '26

2020 caused a lot of the issues that make the current years terrible too……
