Im not a young guy, and I grew up way before social media. When I was a teenager, a web page had animated gifs and blinking text. :)

But ive noticed that there is a lot of videos about young guys feeling bad. Like they have difficulties growing up and getting confidence in who they are, because the job market sucks, dating has become very hard for a lot of average looking guys, and its just a lack of hope for the future.

Would you guys agree with this? How many of you are feeling quite like shit actually?

I think you need to use social media to understand the size of it. But then again, social media is very different from reality. I also dont see it much in real life, but how would i? Guys are not going to talk about it and there is no fighting out in the open. :)
