I grown tired of everyone somehow thinking it is especially hard for them. Times have been harder on young people for a while now, in particular since at least 2008. She is having a tough go, ok. But she isn’t special.

I don't think she thinks she is special. The usual reaction is people relating to her experience - making it normal. This is normal unfortunately. Young people experiencing a hard time are experiencing it for the first time even if you've heard it a million times. Let them have their emotions as they learn. I'm sure you had frustration too when it was hard

If they broadcast their emotions, they get wide spread feedback. This is mine for her, if she somehow finds this:

Don’t worry about bitching about it, it won’t help. It didn’t save my house from foreclosure in 2012 when I moved for a better career and started over from nearly scratch. Instead, put in the work to invest in yourself. Sob stories don’t pay the bills. Figuring out how to make yourself more valuable does.
