Ah nice! I had inklings that this was the case, this is exactly what I was writing about here :
Nice, this is another thing that I can relate to, at some point I noticed this habit and I thought that it is the opposite of caring, that even though it might irritate people to repeat themselves, if I do genuinely care about what they have to say then I cannot just nod away.
This is something that I wondered about also. Specifically what Gen Z did, it seems they took what was a small and rigid handful of available identities and exploded them into hundreds of possible and completely contradictory identifications. No wonder a lot of them are an anxious bunch as none of it can form any kind of coherent whole. But still that intention was there to find another way that is not so rigid, perhaps just misinformed because the answer is not to split identity x1000 but rather to demolish it altogether.
