Actual media hasn't caught wind of this trend yet, but then our media is known to blow everything out of proportion, not just our culture... sometimes it seems like melancholy, but it's just how a lot of young people are now. They're also much more cautious now.

Tbh that's a lot of people nowadays.

Irl I find it hard to tell if I really like someone's personality when I am interacting with them, because they're clearly scared that I'm going to be offended by them if they say something a little off-beat.

It's why I love the Internet nowadays, because people do behave more unfiltered.
