True and it’s not a good look.
We, older people (maybe gen x or older millennials) think so, but these young people don't so maybe this is how it's going to be in the future.
Snowflakes like this won’t last half a year at a real job
The problem is that workplaces are having to adjust to the snowflakes instead of the other way around. I’m really not optimistic about the future of our country.
Nope. They’re not. This ain’t 2022.

There's no way that the issues all lie at the feet of the mental health care industry. And I have a lot of issues with it. Cultural pressures, isolation, parenting styles, overmedication, lack of grit/resilience, social media, phones, etc are much more to blame imo. Not mention potentially food preservatives/additives, plastics in the water, increase number of IVF and C-sections and other environmental issues that no one is really linking together.

Not judging. Just asking a genuine question.
Why don’t you read the United States Surgeon General’s report from last year?
SOCIAL MEDIA IS TOXIC.
It also has to do with the way we treat mental health issues in children. We encourage them to see themselves as victims and to ruminate on their problems. We don’t encourage them to move on or grow from their experiences. We are sending them down the rabbit hole.

It’s trendy now, facilitated by horrifically bad parents who indulge this nonsense instead of telling their kids to knock it the eff off.
