I am from India but have lived in the Middle East ( over a decade) and the US( few years ).

I see very little difference among the middle and upper middle class people of these countries nowadays. With globally connected social media everyone thinks they are unique ( maybe rightfully so ). Just because you are born in India or China you are not going to be thankful for whatever life has given to you.

Western values( or is it global ) as far as uniqueness seems to be the dominant thought process atleast in the metros.

I see the problem described in the article among my friends here. Everyone is depressed, anxious or having an existential crisis.
