 Or in my case dislike me. Honesty in person isn't in style. But on the Internet is like OMG!! Best. Thing. Ever. Another product of the social media generation.

 Re: Identity Crisis
 
 I love the people that describe themselves as "honest," but when it comes time to be honest they lie in order to be nice.

 Re: Identity Crisis
 
 I believe the identity crisis is the inability to attach oneself to a decade of time (Ie. 70's 80's 90's) etc. I sincerely believe this. You take someone born in 1990 for example. That would put their teen years right at the beginning of the new millennium.
 
 These kids grow up hearing about how cool the 80's were etc., and they have nothing of their own to really call their own. Think about all the remakes we have seen in movies and TV. These kids are constantly being told, "It was better then." Sure they have new phones and all, but these things aren't specific to their generation. Jenny may have an Iphone, but her mom does too. What exactly do kids have that differentiate them from adults and makes them kids? The only thing I can think of is music, but even that has been compromised to some extent.
 
 What would this current generation call the years they grew up in? I grew up in the..."................" That decade where everything got muddy..where the parents were gaming as much as the kids, movies about superheroes were more important to adults than kids, junk food was entirely forbidden and an entire decade went by without much depth.Being kind, one to another, never disappoints.Comment

 Re: Identity Crisis
 
 My biggest issue with these times is everything gets touted as the "greatest"
 "That was the greatest SB ever"
 "That was the greatest catch ever"

 I get that different generations experience different things. Before facebook there was texing, before texting it was email, before email, it was telephones and on and on. With each generation people are becoming more connected but a little bit of humanity is lost each time.
 
 Social interaction is faceless. Even when your with somebody in person, you spend more time looking down and not up with them. Obviously this isn't everybody. But see how often you see that happen.
 
 Looking people in the eyes is starting to be lost on society.

 Re: Identity Crisis
 
 That's what I'm seeing. I wonder if it's because of being over sensitized. I don't know. But there is this sense that everything has to be outrageously incredible, which I believe leans towards the identity crisis. I do believe there is one.
 
 I believe too many are trying to compensate for things because they just don't feel like what is happening is truly meaningful. Social media is a very good indicator of this. Many put things on facebook because the act of doing it wasn't enough. They need others to see and like it to be affirmed that it was meaningful.Being kind, one to another, never disappoints.Comment

 They want the reassurance that they, themselves, matter. The irony is they matter less because it gets lost with all the other life affirming stuff.That's what I'm seeing. I wonder if it's because of being over sensitized. I don't know. But there is this sense that everything has to be outrageously incredible, which I believe leans towards the identity crisis. I do believe there is one.

 Re: Identity Crisis
 
 Eh, I think this is all being overblown. I'm 19 and I don't have too much of a problem with my generation. Sure, there are the idiots but I sense there are a lot more smart kids than idiots.
 
 As for the social media issue, it's being overblown. As much as I enjoy connecting with others on FB/Twitter, nothing beats a good hangout session with friends. I'm sure a lot of others in my generation feel the same. It's easy to say that the "LIEK THIS" posts are a bad sign, but social media is just a more public way of expressing ourselves. Kids are kids. I seriously doubt that other generations would've behaved differently with social media.Pittsburgh Penguins
