I'm sure this had profound impact, but frankly we all lived through it so I find it hard to accept as the sole or majority-dominant reason alone, personally.
It’s not that we all experienced it but what stage of mental development we were at when we experienced it.
Not everyone experiences a shared experience the same way.
That's fair. This may be it then; as somebody who sort of "speed ran" childhood due to my circumstances it might just be hard for me to understand and relate to the normal developmental cycle and the impact of such things during it. Thanks for the perspective, cheers.
I was never a "main friend" in any of the groups I interacted with. I hung out with a lot of people on a very shallow level. When covid hit I stopped talking to all of them. it was nearly a year of me only seeing my parents and sibling because a family member is immunocompromised. I still struggle to make real connections after that and I was at the end of highschool. If that had hit in middleschool when I was still taking "cool" seeming peoples sord as gossiple I have known idea what it would have done to me.
