Hello, mamas. Lord knows, we have enough TikTok theories where it's like a few words, theory.

But there is one specific one that just hits the nail on the head so well. And it's called the Bean Soup Theory.

Where did it get such a funny, silly name from? You might ask,

well, how about you sit down for this caper, this tale. Someone made a recipe for a bean soup

one day, just a typical bean soup. And every single comment was saying, well, what if I don't like

beans? What if I can't eat beans, what if I don't like beans?

What if I can't eat beans?

What if I can't digest beans?

Then don't make fucking bean soup.

That is the crooks of the entire theory.

And you might think, okay, what does that apply to?

Well, if you've spent any time, any time at all on the internet, in any public space on the internet, like a comment section on TikTok, and even, unfortunately, sometimes in real life, in real life public spaces now, especially with like Gen Z groups of people.

You've noticed a little bit of a what about me type of mantra that a lot of people have taken on.

A lot of what about me isms.

People expecting things to be tailored to them and always finding ways for anything that they interact with

in their life to apply specifically to them. The sheer concept of something just simply not

being for you, not being made for you is almost baffling. It's almost impossible to reconcile

within their brain. So they have to find ways to

reach out, whether it be like in a comment being like, but make this more palatable for me, make this more accessible for me.

And there's a few reasons how we got to this. The broad consensus is that we lost something along with a lot of other things during

the COVID times.

We lost a lot of social skills.
