This. I don't get why fragility is so encouraged today and even cultivated. As a collective, humans are the most dangerious species on the planet and we don't treat each others too kindly either. WHY has a whole generation bought into the idea that you should broadcast your vulnerabilites to the world and carefully nourish them instead of trying to become stronger and more independent?

It's a way of lifte that's bound to lead to many very rhough awakenings.

There is a time and place for revealing vulnerable information about yourself. And your twitter bio ain't it.

This is so true! Increasingly, it seems that young people are placing the burden of their mental health on others, rather than take responsibility for it themselves.

The strongest people I know are the ones who have been to hell and back. Falling apart at being called the wrong pronoun suggests a lack of life experience, which is to be expected in young people. But we are not helping those young people become resilient by pandering to their every wish.
