Why are there more sensitive snowflakes?

[Anonymous]

An extreme snowflake would be someone that's so sensitive that they want to commit suicide or develops extreme depression just because you said they should work on their diet and are a bit overweight. That's not being harsh nor discriminating anymore. That's someone with problems that can't deal with constructive criticism, isn't ready for the real world and believes everyone should praise him/her, expects to be liked by everyone.

But honestly, why are there more sensitive snowflakes nowadays than in the past?

If I were crying because someone told me to work on my diet, my parents would tell me to get a life and grow up.

People who have deeper issues going on more often then not. Be kind to people and don’t give your opinion unsolicited. You just never know what someone could really be going through.

As far as people who get offended when you’re not even talking to or about them? I just tell them to fuck off…

I have heard that people are seeking mental health care in record numbers since the Trump victory. Seeing their entire belief system disintegrate in front of them is hard to take. Maybe because they have little else in their lives than being able to call President Trump a fascist.

And this question comes from an anon coward.

So what? Those are facts. Nowadays you can't even tell them anything or else they're going to come running, crying to mom and dad. In the past, people were more stronger, not overly sensitive to anything.

it all goes back to no one wins, no one loses you all get a trophy and a star because you tried generation who now reached the age of adulthood but are no way an adult.
Now, someone won, and they have absolutely no clue how to handle it and were never prepared for what happened.
The majority won and now rules/is in charge which goes against how they were raised and simply cannot handle it.

hormones, raising weak people... whom are denied the right to "fall down and get back up". When given challenges later in life, all they know is to be handed something or they give up. cannot process the feelings.

Because parenting got twisted. I'm not your fucking friend and this isn't a popularity contest. Anyone doubt me to see any of George Carlin bits on parenting or the pussification of the American male.

Because someone told MAGA Karen’s their opinions matter.

It's a reaction from living lives of luxury & not having to experience extreme suffering.
