Avoiding everything that is a drag is almost an axiom for most young people in the modern world... any sort of discomfort is obviously wrong and something to avoid. It's almost a sin to suggest someone should do something that might bring them temporary discomfort even if it's good long term.
Avoiding everything that is a drag is a universal experience for young people in the entire history of the world. The point is that they eventually find value in the toil later on in the process, and when they're older have to drag the next generation into the cycle.
There is this pervasive modern trend of using things like questionable or even imagined mental or other health issues to try and get out of any sort of mild discomfort or challenge. The recent boston globe article on that lesbian bar that required kn95 masks that recently went viral seems to me to be almost the ultimate expression of that type of culture and the absurdities of how it ends up when taken to the logical conclusion.
