I’m not saying all. But I went through some (very) disruptive and tumultuous stuff during college (that changed my personality still to this day), but I plowed myself into my studies as a distraction with a plan to excel and get the hell out of dodge.

Of course there are people who have escaped or dealt with some bad shite. Im talking about the chick driving a $60k SUV and parents credit card that “can’t deal” despite her only responsibility or worry being taking 12 hours of college credit and not failing. There is a lot of that.

I do think our biggest cause of depression is people just aren’t optimistic about the future anymore. I 100% fall into that camp.

There is a lot of that on social media because women crave attention and validate themselves via sympathy. However, we’re making a lot of assumptions about those women. You don’t know if they were abused, had sexual trauma, or had any number of other issues that you can’t imagine. Personally, I think you shouldn’t concern yourself with social media “depression” girls. It’s practically a SIMPathy industry. The real depressed people aren’t blasting that shite all over social media constantly. Their mental health struggles are shameful. They only reach out when they’re absolutely at their last rope.

85% of social media is women flexing on each other or farming for sympathy to get attention. Maybe 5% is men trying to get attention from those women, and the rest is businesses marketing to those people.
