Millennials can't take criticism

[Macaquerie]

Honestly, people react negatively to criticism for a reason, because how much of even supposedly constructive criticism is genuinely well-intentioned, and how much of it is just passive aggressive shit talking? If you actually go on Facebook to solicit advice and take the negative comments to heart, I would seriously fear for your sanity.

You forgot to give her a participation trophy for asking the question, that is were you messed up.

Since you bring that up, maybe you can explain how millennials are all given "participation trophies" all the time for everything. Starting with what it is. I'll wait.

Millenials are catapulted out of college with STEM and Business degrees but can't find work or their own livelihoods because Baby Boomers aren't dying fast enough.

Just becuase you pay X amount of dollars and spent X amount of time in school does not make you useful.

There is lots of jobs out there, you probably wouldn't like to them though. And then you lambaste the previous generation for chasing comfort.

If you cant find work thats your problem, not the evil baby boomers

Also - baby boomers are all dead by now.

Perhaps its the way you explained it? I mean if you told her (exaggerating ofc): How come you not understand this you dumb whore

The youngest boomers are in their 60s right now. So no.

If you want to know why Millennials can't take criticism, you have to look to the Gen Xers and Boomers who raised them.

One of the key traits of a Millennial is not being able to accept responsibility for ones actions.

Wow, wish someone had told me that before I made my nan a cup of tea this morning.

My parents are baby boomers and are alive and well.

Aint that ironic huh?

Of course. They've been told that alcoholism and drug addictions are "diseases" for example.

But I saw two or three died... so they must all be dead.

Point taken I hope ---> OP

Isn't "millenial" a racist slur or something?.

[Mad_Murdock]

People make fun of Millennials for needing participation trophies. No one realizes that its the parents that are handing it to them.

Silly boomers.

That would be Silly Gen-Xers

Well that's rude. Why would anyone talk to someone like that. All I did was explain to her that you need ato least two sugar gliders because they are colony animals and self mutilate when they get depressed. Which is the truth. She wanted justification for buying just one with no intention of getting a second one because "reasons." It's as if her ego is more important than the sugar gliders health and well being.

I'm not the OP, but what we're pointing out is a massive trend with millennials going on in the US workforce... not anecdotal at all.

Technically no, but some people have used it for practically the same purpose.

[Rucati]

I can tell just by your posts in this thread whatever you told the girl was almost certainly condescending, if not outright offensive.

I don't think it's that people have a problem with criticism, I think people have a problem with douchebags that act superior. This is the same reason that Trump supporters get mad when they're called out on their ignorance. It's the same reason you'll respond to me in a negative/angry tone because I called you out on your douchebaggery.

I mean it was an exxageration. But it really depends on how you said it. Hard to make a judgement without the full conversation.

Blanket statements about large groups of people based off the interaction with one person. Makes sense.

Indeed, clearly the intelligent reasoning. Maybe non-millennials are just that stupid, now that we deal in blanket statements?

As a millennial, I'm quite capable of taking criticism. I'm my biggest critic at that.
People that can't take criticism have been around for as long as there's been people. Ain't got nothing to do with when they were born, obviously.
