I think the biggest reason for a lot of these fast, nonsensical shifts in social discourse is because this is the first time ever that young teenagers and preteens are HEAVILY involved in the discourse (bc of the internet.) You literally click on the bio of most of these profiles saying all this...

but a metric ton, read MAJORITY IF NOT MOST ALL, are literal illness fakers for attention + likes + follows.

its, insanity. I had depression and an eating disorder earlier in my life, (while completely retreating to the internet, closing myself off from the world, finding my own pro ana "fam") i was NOT bragging about that shit, i hid it. i firmly believe if you have a illness, you wouldn't be blasting it on the social media webs.

its very clear to me kids dont know how to use social media, and are harnessing it for attention. its tragic. i cant even blame them for the faking, i do not know if they know the depths of what they are doing because parents, establishments, schools whatever, cannot speak out against it, right? otherwise its the can for them! this shit is SO deep, more than the average joe even remotely knows.

i talk about this at length on my podcast if anyone is interested please dm me. (not advertising it, its not about me on this post afterall, but if anyone wanted to talk more is all. i apologize if this isn't allowed and I'm aware its usually seen as tacky behavior but i believe these kind of self ads are relevant giving the context)
