Gen Xers DGAF About Your Drama, What to Do If You See Content You Know You Won't Like & Updates

[@Callinoutbull]

If you can't adapt, you are screwed. Life is extremely hard when you are young, because 85% of the time, it is because you are making it harder by not observing or listening. Step out into the light and make your way the best way possible for you.

Most Gen X were bullied and picked on. Most of us fought back. Because of fighting back, we are not easily intimidated. Go ahead, run your mouth, my mouth is worse. We will hurt your feelings and hurt you physically. We fought in real life. Not behind screens.

YES! THANK YOU!

We don't care, but we can.... And NOBODY wants that. Remember, Boomers invented the internet, but Gen X built it.

[@Gen_X_Rosey]

Yes, EXACTLY! Thank you for interacting!

Thanks Rosey. Here is my advice to our younger siblings (Millennial, Gen Z, etc): Life is NOT Fair. We, Gen Xers learned that lesson from an early age. But, you have (3) options in dealing with said sh*t show: (1) Whine and Complain (2) Give Up (3) Keep on Trucking. Option 1 is what we Gen Xers are good at. Hell, we perfected it. Watch movies like "Clerks", "Boyz n the Hood" or "Trainspotting" and you'll understand why. Spoiler Alert: most "true" Gen X films are not warm and fuzzy because life for us was not warm and fuzzy but you already knew that. Fun fact, the original ending for "Clerks" was changed because it was too depressing. In the original version, Dante, the main character, gets shot and dies at the end kzbin.info/www/bejne/apacqpyojZ5-i7s. Fun Times. Secondly, I knew a few Gen Xers who chose door number 2 and "clocked out early" (in other words, they are now dead and buried). I do not recommend option 2. Option 3 is what I tell my 18-year-old daughter who is about to go to college and, personally, I think it is the best option. I also tell her that when life gives you lemons, you need to make lemonade. Final Words of Advice: 1 - Stay strong and keep on trucking. Remember that life is a marathon, not a sprint. Take all those lemons that life gives you and make lemonade. Hell, mix in some vodka and make it a "grown-up" lemonade. Whatever you want. You do you. However, do drink responsibly. If it becomes a problem, get help (see Advice Tip #6). 2 - You're smart. To quote Doctor Suess, "You have brains in your head and feet in your shoes". Just make sure you put both of them to good use. 3 - Keep your skills up to date. Never let the ink dry on your resume. 4 - If you make a mess, clean up after yourself. 5 - Try not to get triggered when someone who loves you gives you heart felt advice. (sarcasm alert: like right now). 6 - If you got a problem, work it out (that's what we did). You have the internet (which is something we didn't have growing up). Anything you can't figure out, Google it. Don't be afraid to ask for help if you're stuck. If you don't ask, you don't get. However, understand that we Gen Xers have been crapped on since day one of our existence so we do not "suffer fools gladly" (in other words, we don't have time for BS). Hell, we're just trying to get our sh*t together before taking that long dirt nap. :( Now please stop bothering us. We're tired. We got bills to pay. We love you but we don't have the time nor the energy to fix all your problems. That's your part of the piano. Oh yes, and about that little feud you're having with the boomers (yes, we were paying attention), please don't involve us. See Final Words of Advice #4, #5 and #6. Good Luck.

Perfect words of wisdom! Thank you!

Yes, Gen Z and Alpha are a softer generation because there is a percentage of Gen X who are raised and are raising them sheltered and giving them everything. Obviously, It's to each his and her own family. I fully intend to teach my nephews to be respectful and that they must have inner endurance. Cause in their lifetimes as a Generation group they are going to see and experience events as a group like all other Generations have.

[@SanekaRice]

We care about life and people both family and those outside of our families. We care a lot. We just don't care about the REPEAT of things. We need solutions to problems not to repeat the same old problems generation after generation.

[@Gen_X_Rosey]

I agree! Thank you for your insight on my videos! I appreciate the interaction!

[@jadedragongirl]

don't start none won't be none is something i saw a lot. Usually to my cats.

[@Gen_X_Rosey]

LOL! Yeah, true.
