My theory is that young adults went underground during COVID. Some thrived, while others got lost in the weeds. This led to a new brand of anxiety called overthinking. This phenomenon is especially evident in girls. I have heard girls spend entire sessions discussing one text, one TikTok, one meme, or one like. They are driven by the dopamine rush that comes from likes. I honestly don't think Zuckerberg had any idea what he was unleashing. The need to be "liked" is paramount
