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?

Im sorry to hear you are depressed. I was once too so I know what its like to feel like that.

And yes, its a intended effect. But I dont think I will take your suggestion to change my post. Because one thing that is really important in this life is to not try and be so controlling. It will definently make you miserable to try and make things exactly the way you want it. Because other people have their own opinions about things.

You can affect how you are towards others though. That you can control. Its actually the only thing you can control. And how you react to what others do.

But I know, when being depressed, everything feels pointless.
