That's a lot of info there.

What I'm trying to point out is that anxiety is widespread and caused by nature of our society and amplified by social media.

Please see this important article:

Add to this pandemic the aggravating cause of more anxiety: girls/women.

Girls/women from teen years on turn potential male/female relationships into pressure/stressful based relationships that are awkward. Women just don't want to be friends and instead just want to size up men as potential mates or love interests. They start with this crap in their early teens or earlier.

There are a number of articles and studies that show men are just giving up on women altogether because it's too stressful dealing with them.

And women/young girls are causing stress for themselves. They have eating disorders. They cut themselves. They create their own anxiety.

It's all because they can't just relax and stop turning every God damn encounter with a boy/man as some potential love affair.

Because of this guys are just hanging out with other guys and avoiding the bullshit.

Gay men don't have this problem at all. Have you noticed? There's no anxiety or stress because they cut the bullshit.
