View submission: Where Is All the Sad Boy Literature?
Another byproduct of this tech-based socialization in my generation, in my opinion, is a decreased level of empathy and an increased level of self-centeredness and even narcissism. It’s not everyone, but too many people are way too focused on curating their image online and sharing every little moment and detail of their lives.
Point made and well stated regarding image, but I can't accept the individualism specifically as a generational thing. Individualism has been on a global rise for decades, people only giving a shit about themselves.
There's a sort of black hole of narcissism in these vulnerable-moment-sharers, another point well made, but there are some gems in there too[1].

You’re right on the individualism point. Baby boomers were called “The Me Generation,” so that checks out lol. Still, social media, we have learned, certainly doesn’t help matters in this regard.
