(69,370 posts)We all know that Covid disrupted social interactions, and it's certain that young people were/are greatly affected by that, during key developmental parts of their lives. A sophomore in college now had their junior year of HS abruptly truncated, Senior year of HS was probably fully virtual with few opportunities for social interaction, first year of college may have involved a hybrid of virtual/in-person classes, depending on the school. Add in the fact that this generation spends a huge amount of time online, engaging in social media, and it's obvious where problems might arise. My heart goes out to them.
But blaming it on MeToo seems off.
I wonder if this young man is suffering from depression or social anxiety. I would explore what he's feeling and experiencing, rather than blaming this on vague external factors. Find out what's going on with him.
