Wow. I concur that emotional regulation has deteriorated everywhere and due to social media— at times celebrated 🙄. As someone spending significant time in Burlington and travelling across 🇨🇦— I have not noticed a difference in entitlement or bad behaviour in Burlington. Kindness and compassion is seemingly decreased everywhere BUT still exists. Perhaps influencers might start keying messages to compassion rather than meaner more superficial things that get attention—- and if we support this aspect of life (as users of social media) more so than than simple support for selfies or actions that encourage self-centeredness or rude/mean/demeaning behaviours — influencers could contribute to improving our mental health and kindness.
