Our friend group has this running joke about how pretentious we all are but it's gotten so meta and self-aware that we can't have a genuine conversation about anything anymore without immediately mocking ourselves for caring.

More people experience this than they realize.
The protective shell of irony can become a prison when self-mockery replaces authentic connection and caring becomes uncool.
