Parents are over worked and lost in their phones and technology. Both parents working, family unit broken/parents divorced in alot of cases. Kids lack warmth and true human interactions so their empathy fades.

They also crave and lack attention from their peers who are also lost in electronic devices, so they decide to join the party. They decide to seek attention and approval from the cold, uncaring universe that is the internet. Where likes and shares become their warmth and attention. Now ego/self worship, the great liars of our lives, can begin to take the stage. Both roads that often lead to crushing depression and destruction of the soul.

Not to mention the road many are being forced down that cause them to go off and be in a strange city and job, in some lonely apartment away from everyone they know. Forced to face these things alone. With no meaningful way to reach out but sad social media posts.

This must be a very hard time to experience life. Hopefully things will improve. I love all of you

The unoriginal "hack comedian" of the times emerges. Regurgitating his flavor of the month mindless meme, that is one of 5 current jokes that guarantee a laugh from the lazy among us. Why come up with an original joke or thought of your own? Much easier to just let the hive mind come up with your humor for you. More time to turn your brain off. More time to consume

And apparently the solution is the least empathetic and most self-absorbed person on the planet.

None of that is true tho. Divorce rates are lower than ever, I've met great friends on the internet, and the kids I know of the next generation are clever and whole.

Divorce rates are low because marriage rates are low. Those friendships aren't real they're just the only ones you know. People will never stop being "clever", that isn't the problem. And being "whole" is something I don't think many people have a clear perception of

Wait, I remember you making this same topic a year or so ago. You started fizzing out when I told you that divorces rates are proportionally lower.

Seeing little kids with zero empathy creeps me out. I was the parent helper a few times for a preschool and this one girl didnt simply hoard toys for herself to play with. Instead she hoarded them, hid them, and gleefully kept anyone, including herself, from playing with them.

Parents buried in their phones creeps me out too. Saw a mom pushing a kid in a cart at the story literally crash into a display sign.

Or when you see a family at a restaurant all sitting quietly with their devices.

We can't all be the wonderful boomers who care about everyone and not themselves.

Why I love their constant push for a social safety net, healthcare for all, rights for the poor and immigrants. Truly see how selfless they are in those moments.

I'm not a boomer, Jesus Christ. I'm 29 years old. Can you think about ANYTHING without choosing a side and putting me on the other side? Is everyone is just a Left brain or Right brain now?

The point is this "selfishness" and "self absorbedness" is nothing unique to any one group. Acting like this is something different with Millenials and Gen Z is silly. It simply manifests in different ways.

It's not about it being unique to one group and absent in another. It has INCREASED, and at a rapid pace due to technology and our changing culture. I don't see it decreasing anytime soon either

I don't understand why I'm being called a boomer in this topic. I'm criticizing the parents as well. It's society as a whole that has lost empathy and become obsessed with itself.

Hell, even my uncle, an ACTUAL boomer, has become a complete idiot now. He sits on his phone ALL the time, looking at dumb "funny" videos and basically turning his brain off. He used to be one of the funniest people I know but its like he doesnt even try anymore
