That's because at this time parents manage to do the following two seemingly incompatible things:
1) pay no attention to the kids (got to do Netflix! Read HackerNews! Enjoy my hobbies!)
2) demand that the entire universe of everyone else revolved around their kids and those kids be protected against any possible exposure to the negative thoughts -- "Good vibes only!"
So by the time kids become semi-autonomous adults they quite literally do not know what to do when anyone or anything does not fit into reality their parents managed to construct for them.
