Things I've Noticed About the New Generation

But it really has got do much worse in the last 5 years or so.

@Cloud7593: I think what i'm curious about is why am I such an exception to this rule? So many people my age say they can't do this or that or whatever. Yet I could? I'm not unique or special. Maybe because my parents pushed me so hard. They pushed me very hard to be successful. Failure wasn't an option in my house. Either you win or you try, try, try and try again until you succeed. But's that's my point. I wasn't taught to avoid failure. I was taught to conquer it.

Parenting makes a huge difference. Many people today don't encourage their kids to have any expectations. We have high unemployment in our area. It's true to say in my class...Most parents don't work. The kids( who often just want to be like mum or dad) dont understand ' work ethic' I actually have kids ask me why I work. Lol....

😂 there's always that one.

Let's just say, it is IMPOSSIBLE to make a generalization on this scale. Anything will happen in every generation when we're 7 billion people on earth.

@MartinTheFirst: I wasn't aware that "kiddo" made you feel insulted. If you feel insulted, I could call you something else? In all honesty. I don't necessarily want or have to have your respect. As I have enough people that love and respect me in my own life. Though it never hurts to make new friends and you seem intelligent and well minded enough to be my friend. Chances are you don't like me or are inclined not to like me because i'm challenging your beliefs. That's called cognitive dissonance. The angry that you feel when people don't mean you any harm but still challenge and dispute your beliefs? Cognitive dissonance.

What I like to do is help people that feel the same way I felt once. People like you. I know, you really don't like the idea that people think they understand you. Neither did I. But the truth is that a lot of people feel the same way you do. Angry, out of place, hating the system or society they were born into. But what you don't see is that you can in fact, still live the life you want to live. I'm living proof of that as well as many other people like me.

I think we've taken up too much room on this post. If you would really like to keep talking then feel free to message me. Or don't, it's your choice.

Sorry but I do not make friends with people who are as delusional to think their wild assumptions about someone they do not know are correct, even though one keep telling them they're incorrect.

And I do not private message with people who will not even listen to basic arguments without becoming furious, using language such as "sit your ass down" and calling them "kiddo" in order to belittle them.

I'm done here.

@MartinTheFirst: I think you're pretending to be insulted by my "offensive language" as an excuse to get out of the conversation. If you aren't pretending then your being overly sensitive. But that's fine, most people are in a lot of ways. I'm not sure when I became "furious". Was it the part before or after I tried giving you well meaning life advice and wisdom? lol You sounded pretty furious when you compared a well meaning adult life to "eating shit" and pretty sad when you called yourself a weak person. But even though I pointed it out afterwards i'm delusional?" I'm delusional for pointing out things you've said to me? It also sounds a bit delusional on your part to somehow think i'm furious when all of I've been doing is talking about my life experiences and yet you excuse yourself for saying horrible disgusting things like that.

Yeah at this point you're just projecting your problems on me. Face you're problems. Don't put them on other people. Maybe people might take your beliefs more seriously if you have a consistent thought process, instead of just running out of things to say to me then rewind and somehow try to make me a horrible person. Your delusional because you think that because you can't find happiness other people can't. Your delusional because you've convinced yourself that the system does all these horrible things when it really just seems to keep horrifically negative people like you out of the way of promising people which is fine in my book.

You know I really did empathize with you because you reminded me of a younger me. But even when I was at my lowest low, when I was at my most angry. I would have still given other people a chance. But you've denied yourself even that. I guess that's the difference between me and you. Why I am where I am now living a good happy life and why you carry this anger inside you while talking about long lasting peace being an impossibility and lashing out in hatred for any adult expectation you can't fulfill. Yeah I don't think I can help you. Still, thanks for the chat!
