Why are there so many teenagers that act like depression and anxiety are quirky personality traits. Websites like tumblr glorify self harm and suicide like its something to be played around with while people that have genuinely given up on life stay in the corners of society because even the one thing that seperates them from the masses is being nullified by zoomers. I take a theatre class at my college and 90% of the students there talk all this shit about "i have rubber bands to stimulate myself so i dont self harm" "im having an anxiety attack right now guys everyone stop talking" and "i need to call my mom to pick me up, school is giving me anxiety right now".
They have to be over reacting right? This cant be real, am i the bad guy or is this behavior a product of parents giving their kids whatever they want whenever they want it?
Their Gen X anxiety med parents taught them to be scared of everything. Dont feed the homeless guy, Dont clock out for work early, etc. So in their logic Fear and Depression = Franchise right or no

It's the current fad, just like women posting on Twitter about how they're oh so mentally ill and that sort of thing.

It's definitely fad-tier at this point. But at the same time I kinda wish it was like this when I was a teenager because then maybe I could have gotten help for my problems. But also cringe. So all in all it's a double edged sword.

music has changed. first they were singing party rock anthem if they went to a party, now they are screaming "all my friends are dead, push me to the edge". depression has become an aesthetic which a lot of people use to identify themselves, which is like the worst thing you can do.

>have to be over reacting right? This cant be real, am i the bad guy or is this behavior a product of parents giving their kids whatever they want whenever they want it? Yep. That's exactly it. Is what your parents told u or did u come up with this on your own?

Rest assured knowing not a single person understood what that sentence meant

because you are using a mental illness as a character trait

This. People want the glamorized aesthetic of depression but I can tell you 99% have mundane normie problems that are fixable and none of them want to look like washed-out NEETs with unwashed hair, massive dark circles under their bloodshot eyes, and skinnyfat bodies.
