Ignoring the fact that gender dysphoria is a real thing whereas hysteria isn’t,

I’m not sure how you can make this your premise; back then hysteria was very much “a real thing”. Also one could say that doctors have manipulated people undergoing surgery now into giving consent

I got downvoted recently for saying “If you’re friends with someone, wouldn’t you want to know if they’re also friends with someone problematic?” and “I would definitely want to know if my friends were close with people who’d been in prison.”

Though to an extent, the lack of community, especially amongst children is due to the complete lack of independence and they have to depend on their parents to drive them everywhere.

where do you live that there’s not even a playground or a residential street within walking distance of your home?

Wish it’d be acceptable for people to call out reps/senators for “doing the bidding” of other countries too

When I’m feeling blue about something for a while, I do try to exercise daily. I don’t know whether or not endorphins make a difference for me but I do not that I feel more awake after exercising. I like the feeling that I accomplished something for that day and it keeps my routine regular. The alternative that I can spend a lot of time thinking about something troubling me and I’m not productive.

I wouldn’t use “never get to experience” but i would say it’s much harder to have that real sense of community that we easily found in the 90s, early 2000s, etc.

People are more connected to others but still more isolated from others. We were less connected to other people back then so people made a real effort to come up with fun activities and bond together. For kids, it’s the lack of just playing outside in the neighbourhood with friends. For adults, it’s the lack of third places and community/religious events.
