I know it was a bad year for a lot of people, and I'm not saying they should completely forget about or ignore the bad things that happened. But some people are taking it too far and blaming the whole year for it, and I'm like, "Okay, you know that good things happened in 2016 too, right? And that 2016 is not the only year in which celebrities have died?" If it's possible to be prejudiced against days of a year, that's what they're doing about the good days in 2016.
(Actually it's more than just "some" people who do that. If it WERE just "some", I wouldn't be so annoyed by it.)
Hearing people talking about only the bad things that happened makes me feel like I'm not allowed to talk about or enjoy anything good that happened this year (or that if I do, I have to constantly preface it with "2016 was a bad year but..." or something.) In fact, even the fact that you told me "Well, 2016 was a pretty crappy year for a lot of people..." makes me feel like I'm not allowed to think about the good things that happened this year. :(
For some reason I tend to get annoyed if people constantly talk about the same news story for a really long time, even if it's a serious one (that's why I got sick of people talking about the swine flu [which I STILL always type as "swine flue" and have to backspace] constantly in 2009, for instance). I don't know why. ("Constantly" is the key word, though - I'm talking about like if over a quarter of all the conversations I hear are about it.)
