What is wrong with young people now?

[Shags]

I’ve noticed since 2018ish young people (13 to 20’s) began to lack social skills and personal interaction with not only each other but specifically anyone older. I set up booths at different events and yesterday was eye opening on the future. Almost every young person to come to my booth refused to speak a word directly to me unless is was a mumble. I had two couples look at me like a deer in headlights and run off the second I said hello.

Are other people experiencing similar interactions or do I just look weird?

How old are you, op? Most kids are just awkward. Every generation is.

13-20 is peak puberty years. They are trying to figure out their new bodies, developing personality, and maturing minds. They don’t even know how to interact with themselves.

I’m aware but there is a difference between being awkward and out right anti-social.

Sorry I had a typo I was asking how old you were. I’m 33, and I can’t really talk to our interns. It’s crazy what a 12 year age gap does.
