[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]

This doesn’t sound like what OP described at all.[/quote]

Agree . 
I also thought it didn't describe todays teens at all. My daughter and her friends go up to strangers all the time just to say "I like your outfit" And strangers her age come up to her saying the same thing. And my daughter has lifelong social anxiety she was born with. Ans especially Swifties. They all go up to eo as soon as they spot a Tshirt.

HOWEVER, what she's saying perfectly describe me - and the internet didn't even come out until my Junior year of college. No cell phones till after college. And only computer geeks knew how to use chat rooms. So what explains me?![/quote]
