This all contributes to a social custom of looking to be wronged, so that you may point out the evil of the person/generation/world. However, people aren't idiots and can _sometimes_ tell if you're just faking for clout. This leads to a feedback loop of needing to be really hurt, seeing other people be really hurt, believing your really hurt, and finally internalizing that pain and trauma. Things do hurt, bad words are called bad for a reason. Society might be better if we were all nice. But every bad word and every microaggression does not need to become such a large roadblock to personal freedom. People are chaining themselves to the road with this stuff. Dieing on hills that require them to have been personally wronged, using their own pain as a way to shut down criticism. Yes, people hurt, and things can be bad. But it's also entirely possible to see something hurtful and continue life without it hurting you. It's 100% doable to actually not be hurt, not just ignore it, but to construct a self esteem and understanding that allows you to not be shanked by every half difficult social interaction that occurs.

Mental health awareness is good. But social signals lead individuals to believing they must be hurt to be a part of the in group. Virtue through suffering is an incredibly effective signaling mechanism
