Seeing this question asked is sort of sad. Did this become a less common experience? What killed it?

Try being more curious about young people and actually listen to them talk when they are willing to be vulnerable to you and come back and tell me this is the problem. That is a lazy, easy narrative there you just spun.
IF we want to talk about anything regarding the human condition, that talk will necessarily be reductive. Should OP have written a thesis paper?
He clearly stated that this was his opinion. And I think he's getting downvoted for hitting a leetle too close to home.
Your assumptions are based on your imagination, since you don't know that I haven't done that
Then why do your descriptions of nuanced multifaceted humans portray them as such cartoonishly reductive caricatures dissected from any context outside of their control? Younger people by definition have the least control over their circumstance.
Sounds like you don't like what I wrote. It's not a big deal, but it is real. I've seen before and after, and what I said is what happened.
