I was the same way. I saw the SHTF in China and I took it very seriously. But then after watching the shit show of people killing each other for toilet paper and nothing happening I was pretty much over it. None of these people realize that if the threat was everything it was made out to be, they all already would've been fucked by the time they figured out that food is actually a good thing to stock up on, since you won't need to wipe your ass at all if you starve to death. It's incredibly fascinating to me. I never would've imagined people could be worked into such a frenzy on such a massive scale **for such a long period of time** over absolutely fucking nothing. It taught me that I really have no idea how other people think. I thought I had a rough idea, but I really don't.
