slightly off topic:
kids these days are different. I remember us running around, being happy most of the times.
It was healthy just being part of a group. I think kids lost this aspect to some degree, plus online means more cyber bullying, things being shared online, people being a***es etc etc
back in a day when I was laying drunk on the street, nobody shared my photos online, today it would be the case
I think part of the change is because kids are getting "therapy" from a very young age from parents, schools and therapists themselves. They are hyper focused on their feelings, not their experiences.
I think you may be right, I havent thought about it in these terms🤔
