And if you haven't passed judgement I can assure you many of those with issues would feel you had.

The simple truth is everyone's psychological trunk has a capacity and when that capacity is reached there's a chance the psychological trunk containing your personal baggage will burst open leaving your inner self scattered all over the place.

One person's challenges are another's kryptonite and life can come at you really fast, especially to those who feel isolated even when they're not. It's got little to do with moral fibre or the passing of generations either as nervous breakdowns and suicide have been a thing for any number of millennia.

People just didn't necessarily bother others with the inconvenience of listening to them so much. That's not coping, it's deflecting and some can only deflect their own truths and reality for so long. People meltdown in front of others and others meltdown internally enduring in silent misery for decades so as not to be a burden. I wonder why?
This was not a criticism of those suffering but more of the fact that TV keeps highlighting all these problems. I therefore wonder if this makes individuals anxious and it puts into their minds that they could be suffering from any of these issues.
