    I think a lot of zoomers feel like they have failed their parents or society because they don't have a career and aren't successful. The opposite of that is true - this world has failed you at every step.

    None of this shit is your fault. We live in hellworld. You have inherited a deeply broken and dysfunctional system that's maybe reaching its conclusion. This world is not indifferent towards you, it's hostile to you.

    The first step is to become deeply aware of that. The second step is to defend yourself. Some stuff that helped me is practicing self-compassion, journaling and meditation.

        I was thinking young people in general, not just zoomers. Some zoomers are in their early twenties now and I see a lot of posts on reddit by people in their twenties about how they feel like a failure or lost in life. Most of them blame it on their laziness or lack of motivation. They have been indoctrinated to believe that capitalism is the only possible system. If you can't blame the system, there's nobody to blame but yourself.
