Life won't treat you as kindly as your little bubble does. People won't put a trigger warning before talking of any minor inconvenience or issues just to make sure you won't be impacted by it, as long as it's not common heavily traumatising events or visuals that actually trigger a physical seizure. While it's not okay to be constantly exposed to heavy issues, staying away from them just keeps you away from the reality of how dangerous life can be and how you will never be able to make every single person around an angel. It's just like isolating a baby and treating it with antibiotics for the tiniest illness or infection. In the future when you cannot isolate the baby anymore, antibiotics won't work because the heavier infection is immune now, unlike the baby. So what will happen? It will die. Just like this whole emotional isolation that's going on. Everybody is so considerate and sensitive towards other's needs and feelings and think of every minor detail, this will trigger that, this will be offensive because of that, etc etc. However this is not how life works, even people your age grows up in a completely different enviroment and not everyone is like the people in your social cycle. You will grow so sensitive that even a random market cashier will be enough to make you collapse and feel unseen. This new social utopia that the new generations are trying to create is just a dystopia that was build on toxic positivity. Trying to act like something doesn't exist won't make it go away, I wish it could.
When you think someone is wrong, or when they make a legitimate mistake, being unpleasant as hell, cancelling or calling them out publicly, doesn't make room for improvement, it just rubs a person off from your "society" completely and prevents an actual functioning person to participate and be beneficial. You expect all the empathy and sympathy in the world while you have zero tolerance to anything that is opposed to your own opinions, and your opinions are so stupidly inflated that you have no genuine or well founded way of defending them without using the exact words of others, because that's what you based your whole existence on. You don't seek educating, you don't seek change. Because it won't make you special or a minority anymore, it won't make your take a "hot take" anymore. You just want to keep your bubble as small as possible so that it will never burst.
Ah also special note for the new generation bullies that try to be the opposition to the snowflakes mentioned above, while making everything just bad as them: Sweetheart, it won't make your parents notice you, and surely it won't make them love you, okay? So instead of trying to make more people hate you by reflecting your self image and esteem issues on them like a total weakling that you want so desperately see them as, seek therapy and try to make other people love you by actually being a decent person. It won't hurt and it will definitely be better for you, because not everyone will be afraid of you enough to tolerate your bs.
