Someone asked a question about how frequently young people have time to socialize and it made me think about what people do with their evenings. I recently asked my son to go to a concert (free ticket to see a band i know he likes) and he declined because it was an hour away on a weeknight. If we invite our kids or niece/nephew to dinner they always want to go at 6/630 which feels so early. Edit: Kids are 30ish.

    Kids seem depressingly lethargic these days. They will probably doomscroll tiktok instead of going out with friends.

        I don’t have any expectations. I’m not making a judgement. Just an observation.

      I don’t think you deserve the negative reaction you’re getting. I think it just hit a nerve with some people. There does seem to be more depression in younger people and lethargy is a symptom of that.

        I don’t like it any more than anyone else. I believe social media has a negative impact on children and likely all people who use it.
