Therapist uses Smells Like Teen Spirit to discuss the way that individuals use apathy as a coping mechanism. The stereotype of an apathetic individual is often a teenager, but many people use apathy to keep themselves safe. Apathy is often seen as strength, but the truth is that real strength comes from vulnerability. It is brave to be authentic, to care, to create. Apathy is often secure, but it comes at the cost of never reaching your potential.
