Your view, cupcake. Go back tonyour anxious depressive state until 2028. By then you'll have lost the blush of youth and support Pence's successor. |

Absolutely this! If I were a sociologist or psychologist I would study the effects social media usage is having on people. It's sad how much it impacts of view of ourselves and our lives. |

I definitely think it’s being constantly connected. I was born in 1970. What freedom. If you went out, nobody could reach you. You weren’t answering calls, texts, emails or constantly checking live feeds. You were in the moment.
In high school and college, if you got separated from friends during the night—you’d hang with who you were with and maybe ha e an even better time. People weren’t watching what everyone else was doing on social media. We have to watch our kids constantly. Parenting was easier 70s/80s. We just ran around outside or bike several neighborhoods away and only had to be home by dinner. I was the youngest and by kindergarten was out being watched by siblings and older neighbors. This was the norm. There were much shittier times with Vietnam, Iran crisis, watergate, has lines, civil rights riot yet we think it’s so frickin tough now. A huge case of affluenza and everyone self medicating with opioids. I want to unplug and get off the damn rat race, type A treadmill shuttling kids to organized sports. Go, go, go... |

| It was this way pre-Trump. He certainly isn’t making it better. But—the average American is apolitical. You forget that living here. |

I'm loving how Uncle Trump is driving so many Liberals into depression and anxiety. It lifts my spirits.

I'm isolated. Haven't made a new friend in 10+ years and my old ones don't care to make time for someone who isn't local.
I fail. At everything I try. That would be fine except I'm almost 40 and my mother still likes to point it out. |
