my mother told me that the advice from a good willed stranger is the best kind of advice as he doesn't know you he will heed to the problem without expecting anything in return and won't try to sabotage your life by giving wrong advice as many relatives do also if the stranger is giving the advice he will most likely be expert in the field or would have gone through the same thing so its way better than to ask some nonexpert relative about it

We talk about normal stuff, games, other fics, anime, manga, politics; heck we have a whole channel for just LGBT related talks. They are the most inclusive people ever and you would be hard pressed to find a group who would be more likely to accept others. I've met Argentinans, British, Americans, Malaysian, Indonesian, etc etc. Even a couple Indians actually! But they're quite rare..

4:00 is all that needs to be said on the relationship between Gen Z and our parents. That's why we don't open in front of our elders, choosing our friends instead. We want understanding and empathy more than just brutely pushing towards what's objectively “right”.

[@vidyaarvind4458]

Wanting only empathy and understanding all the time makes people needy and emotionally fragile. Some advice to "Pull yourselves together" isn't bad or cruel. All successful people have had their share of struggles. They didn't constantly need reassurances. The american culture of continuously seeking support for one's failures and even justifying them always without honestly introspecting and changing for the better is seeping into India. A desire for empathy and sympathy when confronted with troubles is but natural and people should receive support. However, one must guard against sinking into seeking frequent validation and sympathy online without confronting one's shortcomings and working on them.

[@bingchilling3377]

@@vidyaarvind4458Agreed. I used to have a dislike towards my parents for that. They wouldn't give even a slight look towards my attention seeking behaviour. Now as I look back, I really appreciate what they did. They toughened me up for the challenges to come.

[@vidyaarvind4458]

@@bingchilling3377 as I said, seeking some emotional support is a human need fresh out of a tragedy or during tough times. But what we are seeing now among Gen Z is definitely worrying and unhealthy. Either they are too lackadaisical to care or too woke taking everything to heart, examining everything at a molecular level and turning resentful and cynical. American culture has perpetuated this belief that the individual and his or her needs and feelings and liberty should always take precedence over collective good. This is why it is an extremely polarised country and thanks to that culture seeping into India via SM, our youngsters too are fast following the Americans and Brits. Agreed that not every parent is understanding and many are authoritative and toxic too. But it is equally true that under the influence of SM, more and more youngsters are turning needlessly rebellious over many issues which can be solved by discussion or simply letting time pass by. They are firmly convinced that anonymous online advice is the best and parents know nothing. This is only going to spell doom for the mental and emotional health of our youngsters.

[@cyberdragon1000]

Unlike how the other replies say , you can't compare with american culture , there they from the beginning go with the thought of making them independent from childhood and at 15 it's not weird if they want to live alone or work to study higher. Here does honestly any of that support happen or is such freedom given even if asked? NO , parents here expect gen Z to grow up close with them until they get a degree and a job , they don't allow you to try or learn anything they don't approve and expect you to grow up into their ideal person. They're always in the right and you have to listen to them .

Not only Reddit or Discord, even Twitter became such an important part of lives. This is where comes the Fandom concept. Being a fan of certain artist or book or series isn't just about discussing on the same topic 24×7, it's like finding a community where any issues can be addressed. I personally feel so connected with the virtual friends I got during the lockdown, atleast they don't judge me. Also there's no baggage of maintaining the relationship, nobody expects to converse everyday. Whereas, for Instagram I feel like everyone is trying to show the best of themselves, they seem too overwhelmingly perfect to be real. Instagram really gives me indentity crisis and inferiority complex, at some point it even feels toxic!

[@irmalair4730]

So true about Instagram... Nowadays, for designers and artists, they have to build an online portfolio through social media. Like why are they bringing Instagram into getting a job? And I can't decide if the number of likes equals the quality of artwork. I mean, if I have an OK piece of artwork & lots of followers, it easily can get more likes. Why is the worth of an art piece decided by its popularity. The very idea that it is true in real life also makes me frustrated.

Reddit has been degrading since the Jio user boom. It's ruined by the American polarisation as well. It is in end times as we know it. Reddit IPO is around the corner. It's the death of a great thing we had. I sometimes revisit Reddit discussions 10 years ago and they we so much interesting and informative. I'm truly sad about it.

[@N0Xa880iUL]

@@akemi2929 IPO means Initial public offering. It's means the company will be listed on the share market. It's a way for companies to raise capital and go big or go broke. But the disadvantage is that they become subject to market forces and have to be answerable to their shareholders. This destroys a companies autonomy and they have to play it safe there on in its policies.

Yeah reddit boom in India during covid lockdown period, I remember when it was rare to find another Indian on any subreddit and Indian meme subs, youtuber subs and even sub releated to India are going downhill (r/India was shit from start), with many youtubers want to interact with their audience and also to get free content, it is being filled with more and more edgy teenagers

[@aayushthorat314]

Will the points made by you are all valid something that you need to understand is Gen Z's need to stand out from the "crowd". For example. When whatsapp first launched in America it was mostly used by teens for chatting. It was popular because it was obscure and less likely to be found by parents. However the moment whatsapp became mainstream Teens moved on. Something that remains constant in generations is the strive to become different from its predecessors. Also. Another reason why Gen Z likes to keep it self away from social media is because of the large amount of " filtered content". The kind of content that is found on TV isn't welcome because its considered "uncool". Reddit and discord provide that realease to remain incognito.

[@Coco_Chanel7]

And also the fact that genZ are exposed to alot of information at infancy which make them more mature and stand out from other generations For an instance Boomers never planned their retirements and didn't have multiple options of investments. On the other hand , genZ you know it all ..

To be honest, i personally find discord super exhausting. Entering most servers is like entering a fish market, everyone is typing and I just don't know why i am here and why i even need to familiarise myself with these strangers. With my personal experience, leaving all social platforms and focusing more on my health and life, getting new hobbies like gardening and watching educational videos on KZbin put me in a much better mental space. My mind feels fresh instead rotting among a crowd of people you continuously strive to fit in. I know this might not be the case of every discord server but most of it is full of cyber bullies and uncultured rude teenagers who do not respect anyone (which i also think may be a result of poor mental health and i feel these kids deserve a better place) Some might think i just have bad social skills and i don't know how to fit into a community but i guess you should choose your own "third place". Yes some people are really nice and i met my best friend on discord, for which I'm forever grateful but i feel young teenagers should get aware about more alternatives for a third place where they can fresh up their minds. Mental health servers are great but discord personally isn't the best option for someone trying to get better in life.

As a teenager the lockdown and that virus outbreak was no less then a heaven for me. School made me so overwhelmed and self conscious that I had suicidal thoughts when I was just 11. I had no friends in school because I found myself more mature than kids in my standard as they were abusing every time and cracking sexual jokes which were nothing but unfunny shit. Sadly when schools reopened here in Pakistan, We had massive workload and due to being this much of a introvert I was lacking back and couldn't focus on my classes. I am 13 and still struggling, The best part is that this year is my last year in this school cuz there are maximum 8 classes in this campus I am in.

Great video Mohak. People in India are reluctant to talk on tough things - whether be it depression, sex education , relationships or puberty. I recently went though depression in early 2021 and now consider myself fully recovered, although I do have anxiety at times. 2020 and 2021 were most depressing years of my life. After 10 years in US, I came back to India by choice in Jan 2020 full of excitement that I would be living close to my parents. However, with COVID and friends who cared more about politics and other stuff than their friend, toxic work culture and ignorant people making fun of me for not being able to drive or giving "taanas" to me, I slowly slid in depression. In Feb 2021 I started taking treatment for depression and much stable in August 2021. I did not talk about this chapter of life to anyone, neither friends or parents. Parents are understanding and very nice to me but they are in late 60's and early 70s, dont want them to have unnecessary stress. Friends no use, they have only passed comments of not being able to drive when I came to India (although I have driven 5000 Km in last 6 months), or that its my fault of not being able to adjust in what they say "greatest nation on the planet". I am moving to Canada next month, cracked a job there- work permit is approved and PR is in process. it's a big stress for me leaving behind parents (till I can apply for their visa and PR) but I believe it is necessary for my mental sanity. I know this might not good down well with people but Indian society is toxic.
