    I can’t say since I’m an older millennial. Back in the day it was tough to find mates. So when personalities clashed, we try out best to reconciled or try to figure things out before breaking up.

    I have younger friends who can’t find a stable relationship because the second there is a slight conflict, they can find another person, in some cases on the day of the breakup.

    My younger friends is constantly ina perpetual honeymoon phase. Never figuring out how to figure out conflicts and disagreement.

      When you grow up in a world where everything is always glorified to be amazing and the best thing ever… What do you expect to happen?

      Social media causes more problems that we are not currently aware of…

      You don’t like something or see something that upsets you?scroll past it … Get upset at what someone says… Ignore it or move on from it… And forget it…

      We live in a world where we don’t build skills to deal with conflicts and the more you absorb yourself into these platforms the worse in real life you are going to be off …

      Skills dealing with interaction are not being built in children anymore…

      Back in the 90’s even 2000’s you had to deal with your shit… To someone’s face… And that was when things started to go down hill… And we began seeing the rise in things like incels and people like Andrew Tate… I don’t have any examples for how it affected women but I know it happened…

        So much truth here. I remember fighting with my friends and eventually being better friends later.

        Actually, come to think of it, making friends was actually pretty hard back then too.
