When did "treat others, the way you'd like to be treated" become "treat others the way you'd like to be treated, but treat yourself less?"

When did being kind to others mean being awful to yourself? How did loving others turn into hating yourself?

We are the generation that thrives on helping others when we can't even help ourselves. We use both of our hands to lift others, while we're drowning in quicksand.

We are activists, volunteers, and idealists; we spend our lives trying to change the world as we pop our anxiety pills.

We look on the bright side in every aspect of life that isn't personal.

We heard our elders whisper that our generation would amount to nothing, so we strive to do everything.

We are in constant need of validation because we're unable to love ourselves.

They call us the selfish generation, but I view us as the selfless generation.

We spend so much of our time saving others that we rarely save ourselves.
