Social media is the real issue. Everyone sees snipits of people’s best times and wonder why they aren’t living life like _______.
They get depressed and yea.
this is a big part of it. there are all sorts of legit social ills exploding due to social media
but also, suicide/unhappiness tracks with intelligence so as our society becomes more intelligent and knowledgeable, you're going to face these issues on a wider scale. in an ironic way, these are issues of abundance (which is why all the progressives who act like our abundant society should be communal to allow our social creativity to explode is so off base)
this is all based in a fundamental misunderstanding of what makes us happy. i can't speak for women as much, but men have, by and large, lost sight of this. it's partly due to social advancement and abundance and partly due to things like our society being feminized, but it's real.
