I want to feel empathetic to normies that rant about how they turned 18 or were teenagers in the lockdown years, but i can't...

Like girl... I was literally in lockdown since like 2017/18 with no friends, isolated, alone in my room, and had mostly no contact with people besides my close family or classmates at school. I turned 18 in 2020, and even without lockdown, my birthday would have been lame and without friends. When I see comments from normies complaining about how they couldn't celebrate their 18th right, or that they lost their teenage years, it feels like someone with a little scratch cries to me about how hard it hurts when I'm there with an amputated leg.
