Generalizing here, but that sounds exactly like teenagers. No perspective, and under way too much pressure to conform.

  And, on rare occasions, prone to hyperbole.

  I was a profoundly uncool teenager and enjoyed life quite a bit. Buck the trend.

    As a contrapuntal anecdata, I was profoundly uncool from primary[1] through teenage years[2][3] and was miserable for almost all of it. [1] Parental unit is a teacher at the same school? Yeah, your life will be miserable. [2] Come from a different part of the area? You must be [insert various insults here] for 5 years. [3] Scholarship kid at a private school? Good luck with that.

  it's not "pressure to conform" it's that you will end up gradually pushed out of friend gcs especially. it's not always intentional but there is 100% a certain amount of social isolation that usually results. (p.s. this is actually a bit better than it used to be, everyone's a lot more comfortable doing a snap gc because it has most of the same features and the UX isn't dogshit like a mixed gc vs imessage.)
