  • It depends on the country. In mine, there's a housing crisis, a job market that sees less and less of the right things in us, and a marriage deflation. So that's all three of the main elements of life that aren't going so well.

  • Well besides mental health issues, and the horrible horrible (its been horrendous for decades, but now I know for sure nothing will change anymore) state my country is in? Uh yeah, still not doing good even without them.

    • What are attitudes like to MH with young people like?

      • The topic is never talked about at all. I'm not NT myself so I struggled heavily through my life. Saudi's one of the most conservative countries today so it makes sense.

        I guess if I had to guess, most are just content with their lives no matter how awfully shitty it is... Thats what decades of propaganda will do to you.

  • I dont know if "young people" as a group have very much incommon. Depends on country, where you live, income level, etc...

    I think social media has globally made young people more miserable though. Its literally propaganda about how you are not good enough and never will be.

    • What's it been like growing up with social media? It didn't exist till j was in my 20s

      • I've watched every one of my friends grow dumber by the day for the last 20 years. Propaganda or just outright misinformation for no reason other than "it's funny" is rampant, both from individuals and from corporations or political groups.

        The internet at large has been compressed into six websites and if you want to buy or sell things on the internet anymore you have to do it through Facebook.

        Every single village idiot that used to be safely ignored now has a global voice with 12,000 other idiots backing them up, and they're dragging all the rest of us down into the mud with them.

        Social media has been a huge net negative for everyone involved. End of story. For a very brief time it was pretty cool and then it very swiftly became a societal disease. We really, really fucked this one, majorly.
