Hopefully this post won't trigger a nerve! Yet I just can't help but wonder how sensitive people are these days. Well there is still time, maybe people will mature soon:
People are becoming onion-skinned nowadays

People feel entitled and the slightest thing that they don't agree with makes them lose their minds. Silly!

Agree, they take things too personal, even constructive criticism. How hard is it to grow up these days?

@Mamerto32 very hard if we base it on social media!

@allen0187 although sometimes I find their sensitivity funny! But I think it will change once they find work and found out that criticism is a part of their career (that is if they are planning to find work).

I've noticed, at least on FB and Twitter, that people get very upset if you present facts that show their POV on an issue to be based on falsehoods.

@Mamerto32 People want to believe a story that agrees with their point of view even when it is clearly false and totally lacking in substance.

@DWDavis you're right. They prefer sweet fantasies over truths that hurt. In the end this could have a pretty toxic effect.

I once experienced that. One day there is a fake news on my wall, I tried correcting it and the next thing I know there are people clamoring for me to get out.
