Ex-high school teacher here. This insensitivity to others became particularly noticeable to me around 2020. An illustrative anecdote is when I taught Hamlet to a group of histrionic students (17-18 year olds) who would scream blue murder at any perceived “injustice” directed at them, but the best they could manage describing Hamlet’s feelings was, “He’s a bit upset.”
