[quote=Anonymous]Gen Xer here.

I do think boomers are very self absorbed, think too highly of themselves and expect everyone to cater to them. I don’t know why but they seem to have this anxiety triggering zero sum mindset. They can’t stand it and if someone else is getting something. I watch my MIL and her siblings desperately compete with each other driving their adult kids nuts. They rant about how dare millennials complain about the cost of housing and college, they rant about black people getting too many advantages or poor people stealing their money through social programs. It’s exhausting. They have so much anger and anxiety.

As Gen X we tend to ignore it and move in. As a generation, we seem more into working and getting our kids into college. We don’t have energy for much else. We probably enable the boomers by not calling them out. We’re not angry like boomers or millennials.

Millennials seem far more interested in living life and righting wrongs. They’ll antagonize the boomers calling them out. Millennials seem angry too. They’re angry that they can’t afford a house, they’re angry about student debt, they don’t want to climb the corporate ladder but they don’t want to live on the bottom. [/quote]
