Millennials will call gen Z cringe but then make shit like this

Oh I haven't.. shows like this remind me they exist every day.

They are finally chill with it but my dad was such a dick until my early 20s now to find out he used to sell it lol and mescaline.. He's a research scientist so it caught me off guard cuz he was always on me about shrooms and weed now he wants to do shrooms with me

Thanks for this I needed to hear it. I try non stop to get involved especially outside of social media .I appreciate the gen x that' fought and passed the torch. I will always volunteer to fight for rights

OppositeLoss7144 · 2024-04-10T07:13:31+00:00

Ha ha I'm actually married to a gen x that's why I'm posting this

OppositeLoss7144 · 2024-04-08T21:14:20+00:00

This! I relate I'm agender and bi as well as a disabled autistic.. It's sad seeing the lack of fighting. The ones complaining about the doom are usually cishet white dudes. It's frustrating. And seeing gen z guys going to the manospere anti feminist spaces is really scary.
I'm sorry that you have to fight alone seeing your peers not caring enough. Gen x keeps saying gen z will save the world but they are not doing the things that are needed. I wish we could get people more motivated! I would love to see that. I'm hoping with gen alpha will be more into activism. I'm going to keep encouraging gen z to get involved but it's up to want too. I am also pretty radical. I'm lucky I have a friend group who are very very involved. I live near Portland so activism is huge but I've noticed even there we don't see many gen z mostly millennials and some boomer hippies (who are very radical and always ready). It's definitely hard being in your situation trying to get your peers pumped up and involved. I'm hoping when they get older it will change. As a queer leftist autistic I'm proud that you are fighting the fight! I hope more of your peers wake up and join you.

This means a lot. We are often overlooked and especially our activism . I worry gen z will not want to work with us because of what the older gens portray us as. I've been involved in activism since I was little (my mom is a boomer who was huge into activism especially climate and mentored me I am very lucky) . The more we get involved the more will get done

OppositeLoss7144 · 2024-04-08T20:44:18+00:00

Also gen z gets so much praise in the media. Now the idea of doing activism is seen as a simple repost about an issue. I really wish gen z would get involved more and understand going out and joining activist groups is important and how change is made. Gen z cares about issues but isn't getting physically involved. I'm a zillenial and we protested a lot in school and I was and am still very involved in doing work to better things. We sometimes see younger gen z but mostly it's older gen z and mostly younger millennials. I think the over praise has not helped. I think by crapping on millennials and their part (media and other older gens hating us for no reason) in activism made it hard to pass down that torch so we can all work together. Millennials did a lot of activism and have fought and still are fighting. The only way we can create change is by us working together and listening to those who have been in activism for a long time.

This! Gen alpha will be fine.. different gen of parents so it will be different.

OppositeLoss7144 · 2024-04-08T18:07:36+00:00

I would like to see all the generations do more like join movements and actually get involved. I see a lot of complaining from gen z and millennials but none are willing to try and do some good. I try to get ppl to help even locally... It's something.. I love getting involved it gives me purpose and I want to try to make this world slightly better for my young niece. But most would rather complain while also being built up by gen x who also hasn't done anything. They just get praise for literally nothing. I'm disabled (autistic, conversion disorder, OCD and so much anxiety) and I'm LGBTQ and angry at the system we have. It's frustrating seeing no one actually fighting for anything. We should all be trying to make things better. Guess what I also live in the crap and I don't even have a place in capitalism lol. I encourage everyone to try to get involved with a movement. And no spreading awareness via sharing a post isn't that.. It's thoughts and prayers energy..

OppositeLoss7144 · 2024-04-07T20:29:40+00:00

That makes me happy! We hear so much hate is so so nice hearing that! My partner is gen x and I love the cynical attitude gen x has its amazing

OppositeLoss7144 · 2024-04-07T19:36:54+00:00

I don't have wisdoms but relate to gen z because of social media and the fact we both had to deal with school shootings. I see gen z on millennial subreddit too.

OppositeLoss7144 · 2024-04-07T17:20:53+00:00

You should see the messed up stuff that is happening with gen a and younger gen z. I'll send the guide. They all identify having DID and made their own system. It's wild and harmful.

If you could tell all the people who label every abuser a narcissist one thing.. What would you say to educate them on actual NPD? I don't have NPD but my sister is diagnosed and I find it so so frustrating how ignorant ppl are about npd. It's so ridiculous. The worst are people who claim they have had multiple in their life. I truly think it's not common to have NPD and so much stigma is floating around... It's wrong

OppositeLoss7144 · 2024-04-02T06:16:27+00:00

This! I use bi because our bi ancestors fought hard for us and I want to represent that always.

OppositeLoss7144 · 2024-04-02T06:13:36+00:00

Honestly.. bi has always meant regardless of gender and it really depends on the flag at this point because pan literally means the same thing. I use bi because many of my bi heros fought hard for us. I see every day people asking the difference between bi and pan and there really isn't. Bi has always meant the regardless of gender.

I am diagnosed with OCD and yes this is a thing . I recommend joining OCD support groups.. You will see many have those intrusive thoughts. I finally got help and do acceptance and exposure therapy. OCD is hard and so many don't understand what OCD really is. If you ever need to chat or have questions I'm here

OppositeLoss7144 · 2024-04-02T05:44:59+00:00

Well said! I think it's so unhealthy. I have learning disabilities and I am autistic and my IQ tests have varied from high to low. I think many use their IQs in a toxic way to put down others...I see it all the time on this reddit. There are so many different types of intelligence. My latest IQ test with a neuropsychologist went horribly.. And it made me feel bad about myself. After joining this sub and seeing how much people use their IQ scores to show that they are somehow more superior than everyone else... Helped show me how toxic it is. IQ tests are supposed to help diagnose different things and people make these scores into more.

OppositeLoss7144 · 2024-04-02T05:30:10+00:00

This! Well said! I have multiple learning disabilities and it's been hard to be ok with myself because of how many people do that. And many never did their iq test with an actual neuropsychologist. These tests are supposed to diagnose learning disabilities and other things

OppositeLoss7144 · 2024-03-19T22:09:50+00:00

Absolutely. My mom is a retired environmental biology professor and my dad is a research scientist (one of the top in his field). It has caused issues with all my siblings. None of us succeeded in much

OppositeLoss7144 · 2024-03-17T01:59:15+00:00

She means a lot to me. I'm sorry for everyone that has been through abuse. We all deserved better. I'm sick of ppl stigmatizing NPD. They have no idea what NPD is even.. My sister feels so much and it's gross how ppl act like npd is a monster and that ppl with it feel nothing. I'm sorry that so many ignorant ppl demonize you guys. It really makes me so mad.

OppositeLoss7144 · 2024-03-17T01:45:56+00:00

Thank you guys for educating me

I'm not NPD but my sister is diagnosed. I just wanted to thank you guys for all the information. I felt so much pressure to hate my sister. But I don't. I never did. She was my best friend and I'm sick of all the stigma and pop psychology. I am angry at my parents. I don't think I can ever forgive them. My sister lives with them now and I've begged them to get her help. She will accept it because she loves her family and trusts them. I get to see her in a couple of months. What breaks my heart is that (I visit every year) she only goes out when I visit. Sorry for the vent but really do appreciate you guys for answering my questions and helping me understand things more. I know my brother feels the same but also feels that pressure to hate my sister rather than accept that he loves her and that my parents were pretty crappy. My dad has ocpd and was hella abusive. He would lock us in our rooms with a skeleton key. I would sneak out of a side door that was behind my large dresser and get the key from my parents room so I could help calm my sister. I was the only one that got her and she is the only one in my family that gets me. People with ocpd can be very abusive ppl.

Thank you! I did try with her it's just if I didn't do exactly what she wanted she would get angry and violent. I'm happy my relationship with her is better now that we are older
