Boomers deny

Does anyone else notice boomers completely deny any mental or physical health conditions? I had a boomer ask if I really needed to wear glasses. Really? No Karen I just have attention seeking behavior my glasses aren’t for seeing at all 🤓
@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout Best answer. I’m apparently a millennial but I just cant relate.

So every person who is a boomer follows this same behaviour? And every millenial follows your behaviour?
When did humans become clones?
Heh I get the same issue from older people when I try to explain that I’m hard of hearing at work. 😅 I would love to answer your questions but I’m going to actually have to hear what you’re asking.

We can't even get along with different generations of our own culture, but diversity is somehow our strength?

@Grendale Well said. 🤗
They come from a time when those things didn't exist. Those "problem" people were just sent away to the asylum so normies didn't have to deal with them.
It's also a I pulled myself up by my own bootstraps mentality. Which ties into the same I'm a hard working American mentality of succeed or die.
My dad is the same way. He didn't believe I had ocd for years even though he also can't stop his nicotine addiction either.
Many people don't believe something is real until they have it.

Huh! when I was young, older people would constantly ask me if I should be wearing glasses, because I wouldn't "see" something their way ("Everyone can see THAT! If you can't, maybe you need glasses"!)
No not everyone of any age group does everything the same.

And no, I know prior in their 50-60s who either suffer from or support people with mental health issues.

😁i like this, but then if they get a coffee stain on their teeth they rush to the emergency room in fear that it's cancerous.

I hadn't, but I'll start doing it from now if it's expected of me.
