What's with this social media induced traumas?

[sheikalana]

Seems like a trend to me. Nowadays everyone has either PTSD, OCD, ADHD or a narcissistic ex or been in a toxic relationship or wants to change their gender. What's going on FAM?

The lesson is less social media time for everyone and more real world time for everyone. I've found that there's been a huge increase of people not being able to socialize properly in real life. People are almost reverting in a way. More and more people are very awkward socially or even inappropriate out in public and I believe it's because people find it so easy to escape on the internet and socialize there. Our society is turning into a bunch of weirdos who can't even communicate properly. We all need to touch grass more often.

I think it’s two trolls that spend 8-16 hours a day posting fictional stories to make their enemies look bad.

People want to be the underdog of their own story, so they want to live with some type of hardship. TV shows lately have started to romanticize this.

It's corny as hell and I see mainly people my age or younger doing it. I think a big part of maturing is realizing that you don't need to overcomplicate life, as it'll already do that for you (Don't create problems by focusing on the negative)

[sheikalana]

You're so right. I've seen people my age and older act like that too.

[AaronKrieger]

Was it as common when you were my age?

I know MySpace and the internet had been gradually being used, like how it is today around when you graduated (2006). So, I could see some people being dramatic with it, but I do not know it for sure.

[sheikalana]

I can't remember. I feel like it's a more recent thing. When I was your age girls used to post those cryptic cheesy philosophical lame quotes to get people's attention.

I don't know... I also have a similar view as too it being a trend. Also kind of wonder why so many kids in SCHOOLS are dressed like hookers. prob a trend too.

[sheikalana]

Is not normal at all.

It's the men. They are using their power to oppress and control women and the world. All men want to control women.

[sheikalana]

What?

[Anonymous]

I think people just learn a new word and apply it to themselves these days.

[sheikalana]

They self diagnose themselves.
