COVID emerged as a disease of disparity & indications are that women, girls have been terribly impacted & more so than males/boys; this demands more study & data by gender to know why
Maybe sexist to say, but aren’t females more “social” than males?
The younger set communicate primarily by text, SnapChat, etc.
It would appear not being “in person” w/ each other wouldn’t really matter. But maybe all can learn from this that personal not tech contact is crucial.
Everyone knows that for girls generally, social lives/interactions are a far greater part of their identity & daily life than for boys, something obvious throughout millennia of human existence :)
For whomever is gonna point out that there are some girls who are less socially inclined and vice versa: *generally* means with exceptions & in degrees, but this observation is certainly true true in the aggregate
And not just for young girls. Those of us who exist outside the mass formation are having a much harder time, even now, at any age. I feel like I need a support group. I’m fortunate that my kids are older and seem to be doing okay. I’ve been able to connect with like-minded people online. In-person connections have been much tougher to come by. I’ve actually lost friends and some family relationships are strained.
I think the hardest part of the strained or even lost family and friend relationships was the realization that it would never be the same again between you and them. I have been very lucky as I live in a red state so most friends and almost all family members are unvaxxed. My sister’s two sons and their significant others up North were all vaxxed however and definitely in the mass formation psychosis category. My sister and her husband went six months without seeing their new grandson, and their family is shattered over this. I did not lose work friendships at the hospital, but my respect for fellow co-workers who were highly educated and blindly vaxxed did a definite 180.
Personally, I've always felt like the black sheep, but this is to a whole other level. Even those girls who may not have depended as much on the social connections....it can feel even further distancing. Gotta look harder and farther to find those other " black sheep", or canaries or scapegoats....you name it. It can feel vacuous and hopeless.
My very social teenage niece became suicidal during the lockdown. She had psychological treatments and took meds. Her parents talked with her friends’ parents so the girls could see each other. That helped a lot.
What Fraudci and politicians did was cruel and totally unnecessary.

Feeling very similarly. Very isolating. 😔
Just evil and shameful.
Girls depend on their friends for social connectedness, feedback, and approval. That's why it effects girls more.

Yes! I know several girls who became suicidal during the lockdowns. One is no longer with us.... Total evil unleashed against humanity.
Sad 😟
Girls are not a gender. They are part of the female sex. No wonder they have problems. They don't even know who they are.
