Yes, the very moment it becomes a conscious thought it feels "off".
It's interesting what you say about mistrust. I never have given that much thought. I wonder if we've raised a generation of paranoid people because of online scams and such and then they project that concern onto all real world interactions?
I don't honestly know. But to be fair, anyone with an ounce of sense recognizes the many perils of getting duped in some way online, and that might make young people more cautious in general. I don't really know. I'm not generally of the doomsayers' brigade, decrying the youth. Quite the contrary, it seems to me 17-year-olds or so nowadays are tremendously precocious and self-aware (Thank God), but as with all things, there's also some things going less well...
I'm optimistic about the future generations too. So many of them are realizing how detrimental social media is and are either leaving it alone altogether or not using it as much. I think we have a bright future but we're just going through a dark time of transformation right now.
