On the “bubble-wrap” gens

I am not looking for clicks or followers writing about this topic (unless what I write entertains your thinking). As many of us do, I find writing therapeutic; it helps me make sense of the world around me. And I’m sorry, as much as I’d like to keep up with new ways of reasoning, I found no convincing view for this trend. I just cannot come to terms with how Millennials + have developed into a bubble-wrapped generation. Clearly, society has devolved, not evolved.

All that pain and hardship that used to be seen as part of growth is now seen as the root cause of all sorts of mental health problems. And the normal geekiness and introvertedness are now labelled neurodiversity traits.

In my opinion, society (us) is crippling the new generations of their natural talents and from acquiring important life-coping skills and mechanisms, which cannot otherwise be learnt. And no, this cannot be learned with a YouTube or TikTok video. It’s gotta  be experienced.
