my dad used to beat the shit out of my brother and I if we ever did anything wrong and caught him in a bad mood.

In high school he elbowed my brother in the face and broke his nose.

I actually agree though.....for a different set of reasons.

I don't think my parents are "toxic" per se. They were just incredibly spolied and can't understand that the world changed. At 25, my Father had nearly finished paying off the house after a 5 year mortgage as a curtain salesman on 45k per year, and a stay at home wife. No budget either - just that everything was so cheap it's retard difficulty mode.

Today, with a University degree I got VERY lucky to get a 45k entry level position in software (many I know are working McJobs in my city, not even brainlets just unlucky really) after a few hundred applications. Not a hope in hell of paying off a house & massive debt, on a vastly tougher and more stressful job - and I'm lucky because I can hopefully get 6 figures in just a year or so.....and still have less spending power than he did in the 80s.

So they're confused why I'm broke all the time and tettering on being a NEET constantly. The house they paid off in 5 years on a shit job has done like a x50 - yet they think I should be able to get one with pocket change.

Basically we're fucked. And they fucked us. But it's honestly not malicious, just incredibly thoughtless. Then they wonder why I trade memecoins.....without a fucking hail mary win from something like that I'm just a destitute peasant forever.

i can agree that education that millennials get does not really prepare them for the world and only for college which still doesnt prepare them for the world.

Look up the Adverse Childhood Experience Survey. Feminist have fucked it up, because the original survey was witnessing domestic violence when young but they changed it to violence against the mother.

Everything in the image is roughly equal.
If you were raised by a single parent that is equal to being raped as an child. Gives a whole new meant to divorce rape.

Speaking as a millennial, I've realised our problem after watching a speech by a public speaker.

We were introduced to social media and the internet at an early age. Having everything we need socially in our pocket has fucked us up. We're addicted because it offers us dopamine
Get a text? Dopamine hit
Get a like? Dopamine hit
That's why when we're feeling down we text our friends or put a picture up in Instagram and a text back or a like makes us happy.
We're too addicted to social media and our phones and that's why we have so much difficulty focusing on the outside world. We're not social during meetings. We're not social at dinners or lunches, were all on our phones

I've begun using my phone less and less and trying to strive to learn the things I love and I'm passionate about and actually study and do my fucking assignments and listen properly in my lectures.
Other millennials need to recognise the phone addiction so they actually do stuff without needing a phone by their side and actually socialise

On top of this, millennials also have a reward complex.
There are now participation medals so that kids get a reward even if they lose. It removes the want to succeed and try harder, so when they're older they look at a tough obstacle and either give up immediately or put little effort in and they don't see an immediate result so they give up.
This is why so few are striving to own businesses or make a change in the world or be wealthy, because those goals take time and have challenges before you can reach the end goal, so they think it's to hard and give up.

Imagine when you were a baby, and you tried to walk. You fell down but you got up again, and eventually, after falling down lots, you successfully learned how to walk. When millennials are older, they fall but don't try to get up, because they're use to instant satisfaction and because they just keep falling, they give up on their goals.

They need to recognise it takes time and effort to reach even small goals and that eventually they'll be use to it.

This. We inherited a different world from our parents. Children born in the 80s and 90s lived through an adolescence that became changed by technology in the blink of an eye.

The world we were born into is now completely gone - I was born before most people owned a computer or had even heard of the internet. When I was a kid in the 90s, we still rode bikes over people's houses to hang out and called our friends on their house phones. Now, internet is ubiquitous and every man, woman, and child owns a smart phone and PC/laptop. We live and work over the internet now. Children barely go outside anymore.

The old strategies taught to us by our parents and society no longer apply to us. Yes, some parents are terribly abusive to their children (physically, emotionally, and mentally), but the real change has happened to society. Technology changes people.

I am genuinely surprised kids as late as 2010 were still chilling outside with one another. Congrats though, that social contact with other kids during your pre-pubescent years will do you wonders later in life. So many social queues become ingrained to us during our formative years. I highly suspect the lack of early social contact in kids these days is why so many people have horrible social anxiety and can't stand the idea of someone not liking them.

My comment was simply in opposition to your statement that empathetic/agreeable behavioral traits has nothing to do with employees fucking people over. I mean, they don't actively fuck women over, they just don't provide concessions, thus you see women fall behind because they don't self advocate NEARLY as much as men in positions where salaries can be negotiated, and you see the same in men with high agreeableness.

in a world of meaningless virtue signals, pajeet is the king because he's cheaper to hire and he doesn't mind sleeping under his desk and these cucks are miffed because they can't compete.

fuck milennials. now that we're returning to a normalised world of currency where the gov cant hand out endless shekels to the war department and the welfare department these fuckers are screwed. This is going to be such a good show.

Look pal, "physical assault" isn't anything special, let alone psychological, it taught me one thing above all else, to be strong, never weak. I don't care about your talking points or your views and neither should you, all you should demand of yourself is to be strong in both mind and body and to not permit weakness, all else will fall into place, spare yourself this mire off self-excusing bullshit, nobody gives a shit.

This is an interesting post, particularly when taken with III.1 here >>8939404. Notice the way he seems to equate millenials with "kids these days" so to speak. Of course all millenials are adults now, and depending where you draw the boundary with gen z, have been for some time. The bulk of them were already teenagers when the earliest proto-social media like MySpace and LiveJournal came out.

You're a fucking idiot mate. Which generation has the most liberals? Which spearheaded the movement of the retarded LGBTQ+ bullshit? Which generation cries over pronouns and safespaces? Which generation cries over "gay rights" but then turn 180 degrees around and champion Islam while denouncing Christianity? It wasn't the boomers, it wasn't the generations before them, hell it sure wasn't the people in the enlightenment era. This is purely a millennial "problem" since it's this generation that gave birth to the SJW retardation. SJW'ism is so pervasive that it has seeped through into every facet of our society. Face it, millennials are to blame for this. Many millennials (especially in first world nations) were spoiled and undisciplined by their parents that they grew up not knowing that every action has consequences or that you can't be a winner all the time. Think, faggot. This bullshit of using correct pronouns and being gay was seen as "cool" was literally unheard of in the previous generations

Yes, but it's also yourself partly. Don't blame everything on your parents, even though boomers did fuck up a lot and have no idea how harder AND also eaiser the world is, if you are guided well.

If you had bad parents = mental health problems, difficulty to focus, depression etc.. Can't really function and compete so well with others, unless you suck it up for few years and become a complete animal and alpha who started from the bottom

If parents guided you well and aren't divorced, had their shit together and planned life out for you = incredible emotional support and understanding, can focus on anything for hours, can rely on your parents as friends and someone to trust your problema with and talk to and get their support back

tl:dr life is unfair, suck irlt up if you are on the worse side

That's the thing though, narcissistic parenting strategies undermine a child's sense of self and ability to think independently, leading to failure later in life. A child in such situation would unironically be better off having no parental intervention in such a situation, it's that toxic. Sorry you never had parental support in your life, it's bad in its own way. Parents need to provide material support, but overbearing helicopter parenting is super destructive.

Possibly. I love my parents but they’ve made me so uncofident with no self esteem. I would get great grades and they’d never congratulate me just so it could have been better. I can tell my mum was one of those popular girls in school as well and she always used to say I’m looking scraggly, rough and thin faced. I legit can’t remember a time she called me handsome. I mean even ugly kids get called handsome by their parents and it didn’t happen to me once. I remember one time she said who would wanna get married to someone who had big ears, a narrow face and shaggy hair. She said it was a joke quickly after she realised it upset me a bit. Now I’m early 20s with no confidence in anything I do. Had a girl interested in me in high school and didn’t do anything about it because I was a nervous wreck.

I even have 6 figures in crypto and haven’t even graduated yet and she just says it’s an ok amount. Idk what to do anymore desu.

I'm similar. My parents expressed "love" but I also grew up very unconfident, shy, and depressed.

I actually didn't lose my virginity until I was 23 because I was so depressed and not confident.
If you want to get good with girls, you gotta just buckle down and start educating yourself. Read or youtube about Inner game. Watch coach corey wayne videos. Don't learn about pick up lines and that bullshit. Just learn about what makes females operate. I feel like I got a decent handle on that and it makes "a LOT more sense" now

For me I realize now at 29 years old, my dad contributed a lot to how I feel. He has anger issues so he is always angry. He always judged what I said and had to share his stupid opinion because he thought he is right (he is foreign and I am first generation born in US). Even though truthfully, he doesn't know shit.

He wasn't emotionally "open". He always makes mean jabs and makes me feel like shit. Just deep down, he has mental issues but completely fails to acknowledge it and brings everyone else around him down.

I'm trying to figure it out because at 29 even though on paper I have accomplished a lot (gotten music tracks signed. got music on network TV shows. released apps on app store. ) I'm still a failure in the eyes of my father. And HE is a failure himself (my stepmom basically works all day and pays for all the bills and he treats her like shit).

Anyways, I'm venting too but the girl thing I figured out so I just wanted to share that you can overcome that for sure. In terms of feeling shitty because not getting emotional support from parents, that I don't know how to fix.

I've thought about going no contact on parents because they make me feel like a failure and I feel like I could just be confident even if I worked in a call center or something. But I guess that might be "fucked up". So I don't know either. Good luck man.

Boomers lived in a nation that was 95% White, where the man was king, where good high paying jobs where everywhere and things like cars and houses were cheap. They looked around and saw this idyllic world and said "let's fuck shit up for our children and grandchildren!!!". I'd kill to have lived my life in their shoes.
