[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I think this group was hit particularly hard by Covid because they missed the years of figuring out social stuff in MS. I feel like this age group is developmentally about two years behind. [/quote]

This generation is affected; no - afflicted with social anxiety and fear, thanks to a toxic mix of phones, social media, and remote ordering.

It is common for teens to fear interacting with strangers to such a degree they will only order food online, pay online, then grab it off a “to go” shelf, then eat in their car.

All this, simply to avoid speaking face to face with an actual person.[/quote]

Isn’t that how most people under the age of 70 order their take-out in 2023?[/quote]

Yes.  I order all take out online and pick it up.  I’m not afraid.  It’s convenient. It’s the same reason I refill prescriptions online and have them mailed for free instead of going to the pharmacy.

One of my teens prefers to be home.  He talks a lot to people through gaming online but doesn’t have a desire to get together in person.  It’s fairly normal. He’s also looking for a job so it’s not that he refuses to interact with anyone.  I wouldn’t worry about what you describe, OP.  [/quote]
