It's so weird. I used to consider myself a fringe internet addict in the 2000s but now everyone is like me.

Like many of you, I deal with stuff like depression, anxiety, ADHD. Back in the 2000s it felt like I was the only weirdo out there. Now I cringe writing that out because it feels like everyone is like that now.

Everybody isn't like that. "The algorithm" might have made you think everybody is like that though.

Meet a lot of Gen Zers. Far too many of them are.
