Looking towards drugs for comfort and escape

Will this epidemic ever end? How will the world be for future generations? Is this the beginning of a new paradigm?

Instagram and feminism have made women more arrogant, stuck up and difficult than ever

Job market is more competitive than ever

Social cohesion in the west is at its lowest

The media toys with people more than ever

School is more expensive than ever

Social media paints a unrealistic picture of what life is like for people and causes depression because all people post on social media is their life's highlights

The political atmosphere in the west is very unpromising. Worst election in American history. The U.K. Just left the EU.

Rent is more expensive than ever

I agree with all this. I'd like to add a lot of the kids grew up with a golden spoon. Never had to deal with real problems growing up, parents always supported them, etc. life on easy mode, and then it hits them once they grow into an adult and see how tough life really is.

Where does working get you? Student loans you can't pay? A house you can't afford? A 4 year degree that gets you a job a high schooler could realistically do?

**** it, why put in the effort?

Social media now plasters in their face everyday how they're complete losers next to their peers that plaster how successful they are on ********.

Being "normal" (heterosexual, having religious views) makes you seem weird and like an outcast.
Survival. When the jungle tears itself down and builds itself into something new. Guys like you and me, we end up dead. Doesn’t really mean anything. Or, if we happen to live through it, well that doesn’t mean anything either.

Basically its due to this new sharing culture and information overload.

The saying ignorance is bliss comes to mind.

Now I get a first glimpse of how the 1% live and other lucky people...and it makes us normal people depressed.

Also everyone is online and not engaged in face to face.

Because living in a 1st world country is life on EZ mode which causes people to feel empty and fill the void with materialism and escapism.

Personally I'm only depressed because I was raised by a chit father. Lots of the answers ITT seem legit for the average person, though, especially the social cohesion part.

Never have I ever seen so many countrymen hate each other than in the west. I'm guilty of it, too; I don't see any of my countrymen as allies or even people I should really give a fuk about.

These are nothing more than stink on chit. Neither is the source or root cause of the chit or stink.

School certainly didn't cause idiot people to vote for idiot politicians who then implemented idiot legislation driving up the cost of tuition.

I think technology for the most part has driven people away from each other, rather than keep us connected. Also the social media point is huge, you see all these youtuber's and other random/talentless people online making mills from doing absolutely nothing, and then you examine your life and realize you gotta grind the 9-5 life just to have a somewhat middle class life, chit is just depressing to think about.

If I had a choice, I definitely would want to grow up in the 50's, just seems like the best time to be a young adult.

Society is productive when sex is spread out evenly among males. Men work so they can raise a family. Marriage is such a bad deal nowadays and women are just sleeping around, there is no incentive for men to work. The family unit is the base of society, and every society that becomes promiscuous quickly falls to be replaced by another that respects the family unit.

Some of it is due to unfavorable social and economic conditions. But that has been true in certain time periods of the past as well. The bigger issue is weakness.

All of the responses i've seen so far give me little hope for the future.

Umm no ... we're screwed upand then we choosesocial media to express it.
