Yes people are big babies

You're missing the forest for the trees here. What you're calling "being babies" is actually people finally having the courage to name their pain and do something about it. For generations, we told people to "suck it up" and "walk it off" - and what did we get? Sky-high suicide rates, addiction epidemics, and families torn apart by unprocessed trauma. The "tough it out" mentality didn't make us stronger; it made us walking wounded. When someone learns to recognize their triggers and set boundaries, that's not weakness - that's emotional intelligence in action. It takes incredible strength to look at your deepest wounds and say "I'm going to heal this instead of passing it on to my kids." The real weakness is staying stuck in patterns that don't serve us because we're too scared to be vulnerable enough to change. Therapy culture isn't creating fragility - it's finally giving people permission to tend to wounds that were always there, festering in silence.
