Mexico's Vibrant Facade Cracks Under Emotional Strain
In the age of emotional exhaustion, the escape to screens and substances may lead down a perilous path.

Mexico's vibrancy often masks a simmering discomfort. The once-boisterous spirit feels a little frayed, the laughter a touch forced. Why? Blame the growing insecurity, the gnawing economic worries, the absence of a social safety net. These harsh realities are making Mexican households feel emotional fatigue.

Imagine being surrounded by loved ones, yet feeling utterly alone. Your job pays the bills, but your soul feels like a dusty back room. This, according to Gerardo Mora Gutiérrez, a professor of psychology at UNAM, is the essence of contemporary Mexican discomfort. He calls it the “liquidity, nonexistence, emptiness” trifecta – a state where you don't belong anywhere, even if you hold the keys to a seemingly picture-perfect life.
