The self-formed bubble is such a common perception-distorting issue. It's the same with "Why aren't there any good guys, all the guys I date are assholes." or "Why aren't there any good women? All the women I date just want my money.".

Well, if you keep dating a specific type of person, you will end up dating that specifict type of person.
