Is it a specific location, in I presume, the USA? Because I don't understand how it's a "young folk" thing at all.

My mother is in her 60s, and is utterly not resilient, extremely inflexible, and it's amazing how incredibly anxious she is. I've long wondered how she made it into her 60s when her anxiety is off the charts to the point that she freaks out if she misses a bus stop, or if we didn't walk in a close clump of family members. Numerous other examples. Absolutely zero personal responsibility for identifying and pursuing solutions.

I'd love to say she's an exception, but that's not the case.
