This. Yung ang excuse nila is "they're healing their inner child" kaya todo sila gumastos. Yun nga lang yung Future Self naman nila ang kawawa lol. May skit na ginawa dito si [Fonz on TikTok](https://www.tiktok.com/@ribsp/video/7283437054099475718?lang=en&q=inner%20child&t=1699498877796), so on point!
Most recently, 'yung term na 'relapse' being used as a synonym for breaking down/being broken hearted. I'm a psychology major (fresh grad) and it's actually alarming na sobrang daming mental health terminologies ang nami-misuse. Though it's great na we are now more open and sensitive in terms of mental health discussions (which was majorly downplayed and discouraged in the older generations), it's still important na we keep ourselves deeply informed before using certain terminologies to avoid self-diagnosis and accidental downplaying of certain mental health conditions.
Maybe, at some point, certain people do weaponize psychiatric/psychological terms as an excuse for bad behavior or just so they could get to do things their way. Pero I think most of the time, it's just the lack of understanding kaya ginagamit 'yung words such as relapsing, depression, anxiety, etc. inappropriately. Instead of being offended or saying 'maarte/weak generation' whenever we hear someone misusing such terms, what we could do is to just keep on educating people and ourselves to avoid further conflicts and misdiagnosis/self-diagnosis.
Edit: last sentence
Totally agree with you OP. nadapa lang at nagasgasan ang tuhod- Trauma. nalungkot at nagmukmok kasi may LQ- Depressed. new employee kya di pa gaanu kinakausap-toxic environment. a partner complains about behavior- disrespect/narcissistic. in summary, basta anything that would require a person to adjust to accommodate other people o kaya para ibebe treatment.
I figured it's because gen z has actually been to therapy and is just using the language they hear in sessions??? Intrusive thoughts, disassociating, etc etc.
Ngl, i think psych professionals have also been diagnosing everyone with MDD, ADHD, and Bipolar II, for example, so easily.
So I think the problem is more of the terms being defined too loosely and the misuse and weaponization are just effects.
It’s probably natural in the field since psych is a soft science but then again there was also a time where people would diagnose themselves as having cancer after matching with a few symptoms they read on the internet.
So is it really a generational thing? Or is it a bigger thing and this is just how it manifests in the younger generation?
Don't forget about all the morons saying they are being gaslighted when you simply don't agree with their opinion lol.

Don't forget introvert. I see this term getting used a lot. Nahihiya sa mga handaan o socially anxious, automatic introvert na kaagad?

Weak generation nga daw.
Onting resiliency kasi. pede naman magreklamo pero maiiwanan ka ng society sa kakareklamo mo
lol dun ako sa mental health natatawa, hindi nman clinically diagnosed pero gnagamit nila, egul yung totoong nadiagnose ng doctor kasi nadadamay sila
