I gotta stop you right there. As a young gun of the current generation for he world I can tell you one thing my socially-stunted crop fu#ks up on is we take things to extremes. We're coming off of a world of extremes that was presented to us and penetrated our thinking through years of media. How do you think all the #MeToo and RedPill sh1t got out of hand in the first place?
You need context in order to make the content make sense. We live in a world of content without context.
So many young dudes hear "Like who likes you!" and take it just like "Focus on yourself!" - as a stopgap to shut up and just take you get. Then they take that mindset into other areas of life. "I'm not really attracted to her but she's the only one who likes me so..." is a DETRIMENTAL mindset.
Well, if I sit here and think about what you've said, you're not lying.
I'm Gen X born in '77. With that being said please don't take this the wrong way but this Gen Z generation is soft as baby sh1t when it comes to the simplest stuff.
They're so smart and advanced but fail to use common sense and are dumbfounded by things that should be obvious.
This is the generation of
"wiser but weaker". Meaning
that they have mastered every realm of new technology and ways of learning but are easier to trick, manipulate, and take advantage of.
sh1t like cyber bullying is laughable to those of my generation because we're thinking,
"All you have to do is log the fu#k off." Hearing someone being
"triggered" is the also laughable because my generation understands that not everyone is going to agree with your viewpoint and when it happens you just move on.
As a parent I raise my kids who are Gen X the way I was raised in many regards. We teach them to hold their own, fight when they need to, understand that viewpoints differ, that everything isn't personal, nobody owes you sh1t, and everything isn't a nuclear event just because a MF doesn't agree with you.
Too many of this Gen X generation have been coddled and nursed all the way into adulthood and when they get outside, they're unprepared.
And it's a lot of Gen Z'ers fault. We've been so focused on not having our children struggle or go through what we had to that we've produced a generation of puss1es who are overly sensitive and need everything done for them. A have the audacity to complain when these MF's get into the real world and can't boil water for pasta or do a load of laundry without calling home to ask how it's done.
So, yes, some of this generation needs to be spoon fed to a certain degree.
