The psychological toll on those who predicted the crisis from "summary" of The Big Short: Inside the Doomsday Machine (movie tie-in) by Michael Lewis

The aftermath of the crisis took a heavy toll on those who had seen it coming. They were burdened by a sense of guilt and responsibility, haunted by the knowledge that they had warned others but hadn't been able to prevent the disaster. They were also isolated, unable to find solace or validation in a world that seemed to have turned against them. Their predictions had been dismissed and mocked by many, and now that their worst fears had come true, they found themselves in a position of painful vindication. They had been proven right, but at a great cost. The stress and anxiety of watching the crisis unfold had taken a toll on their mental health, leaving them struggling to cope with the enormity of the situation. Some of them had lost friends or strained relationships with family members who couldn't understand or accept their warnings. They felt betrayed by a system that had failed to listen to them, and now they were left to grapple with the consequences of that failure. The weight of their knowledge was a heavy burden to bear, and it weighed on them constantly, leaving them feeling overwhelmed and helpless. Despite their best efforts, they couldn't shake the feeling of responsibility for what had happened. They had tried to sound the alarm, to warn others of the impending crisis, but their voices had been drowned out by the chorus of those who refused to listen. Now they were left to pick up the pieces, to try to make sense of a world that seemed determined to ignore the lessons of the past. The psychological toll of predicting the crisis was immense, and it left them feeling adrift in a world that had turned its back on them. They had seen the warning signs, had tried to avert disaster, but in the end, they had been powerless to stop it. Their minds were consumed with what-ifs and regrets, haunted by the knowledge that they had seen it coming but hadn't been able to do anything to prevent it.
