The “I don’t owe anyone anything” mantra that’s going on right now is ruining our generation and the way we socialize.

I kinda get your point, but at the same time you can’t really force anything out of anyone. Because honestly I agree with the ‘I don’t owe anyone anything’ statement because you don’t. You don’t HAVE to tell people things, you don’t HAVE to do something you don’t wanna do, it’s all just about what the person is comfortable sharing.

No one Inherently owes anyone anything, ever. But people have the tendency to equate "I need to take care of myself first and not let anyone take more than I can give" (reasonable and ideal) with "I'm not going to help anyone if it doesn't directly benefit me even if I am able to and there is minimal cost or effort" (admittedly pretty selfish and is what gives america its reputation of 'people will only tolerate small talk and actually secretly hate each other and are often expecting betrayal')

And that’s understandable. I’m not disagreeing with you on that. It is a selfish ideal to only help people if they’re getting something in return. That shouldn’t be how people help each other. If a person just doesn’t want to help another because they don’t have the energy or time, that’s understandable as well, but if they’re doing it just to expect something then yeah that is selfish.
