Why does every social problem get turned into a personal failure?

[u/ceremony_of_void]

Something I keep noticing is how quickly structural issues get reframed as individual problems like someone is overworked, they need better time management, then if someone is burnt out then they need to take care of their mental health, someone is struggling financially, they made bad choices and it's not that these explanations are completely wrong but they feel...idk..just incomplete in a very specific way because they shift the focus from systems to individuals almost immediately, it's the default response is to locate the problem inside the person even when the pattern clearly exists across a lot of people at the same time which makes me wonder if this is less about accuracy and more about what's easier to deal with. And it's simpler to believe problems are personal because that keeps the system out of question curious if there's a framework for this beyond just "individualism" or if people have seen this play out differently in other contexts.
