It sounds to me like you’re assuming too much about how a path you didn’t take would have turned out. It sounds like maybe this issue is too personal to be objective? Maybe you’re right, in 10 years we’ll have a lot more people upset about decisions they’re making today. We’re definitely going to get a few cases like the video you linked. I’m personally confident that the number of people who will be alive and happier because of acceptance being pushed right now will dwarf those harmed by it.
As someone who also suffers from anxiety and depression though I wish you luck. That emptiness sounds relatable and I hope the empathy of an internet stranger helps a little. If you’re anything like me it’s hard to be kind to yourself but you should be
You might be right, and all I was saying in my first post is that time will tell. It’s hard to know in the moment what will be good or bad. We can only really know that with hindsight, which is true for pretty much everything in life. It’s likely that it will fall into the gray, where some are happy and others are not. If that is a net good or not will be a debate that likely isn’t worth having as it will only matter to each individual. I guess I’d just hope to limit collateral damage.
My first comment was met with so much hate that was talking with a friend about quitting the internet all together, as it’s seeming turned into a place I don’t like being, but I’ve struggled to find hobbies and can’t really spend time outside, which goes back to the depression… and so it goes.
Thank you for not using my opening up against me. The empathy helps a little, I wish you luck as well.
