I spend a little too much time on Reddit, and I find myself having uncharitably cranky
"Fucking millennials!" moments, wondering why the hell so many of them are still "in school" and
living with their parents at ages 23, 26, 29. Why at least 50% of them claim to have "depression and
anxiety," meaning what? That they are clinically depressed and anxious, or just that they are
sad, worried, and lacking in everyday coping skills? It irks me to see how often they seem to use the
word "amazing," as a baseline relationship requirement, as in the case of a guy who told a fairly new
date that it wasn't working out for him because every moment they spent together "wasn't amazing."
I'm becoming a mean old bag, smugly sitting in judgment of broke, struggling young people while
comfortable in my own very fortunate, secure circumstances. Not cool, not fair, but hard to resist.
