Now that mental health and social media addiction are going to be modelled, shall we model “Snowflakes”?
By this I mean anyone who cannot handle a view different from theirs in the American sense. As this would include people of all walks of life and not just “Millennials” or “Liberals”.
“The Millennial Snowflake”:
“The Conservative Snowflake”
“The Liberal Snowflake”
“The Wikiflake”
Not to confused with a collection of snowflakes called a snowstorm, in which case, yes, a collection of hypersensitive people can knock you on your ass!
This could be largely ignored as it seems to be more a colloquialism, and I don’t know whether it is backed up by studies.
Although alternatively, I imagine that they are, as “Snowflake” seems to just be a neologism (new word) for “hypersensitive” (not to be confused with sensitive/nice/neurologically sensitive people). Which could indicate mental health issues. So this could merely be subsumed under that category.
Hypersensitive (Irritability)
- Irritability - Wikipedia
- Adult Outcomes of Youth Irritability: A 20-Year Prospective Community-Based Study
I only mention this as a separate category than mental health as it got a lot of media attention in the past.
This is merely for conversations sake and can probably be subsumed under “Mental Health” unless Cliff and the community feel otherwise.
