Re: Millennials

[(Anonymous)]

What are the flaws, yeah

Re: Millennials

[(Anonymous)]

1. Has a grandiose sense of self-importance (e.g., exaggerates achievements and talents, expects to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements).
2. Is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love.
3. Believes that he or she is “special” and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people (or institutions).
4. Requires excessive admiration.
5. Has a sense of entitlement, i.e., unreasonable expectations of especially favorable treatment or automatic compliance with his or her expectations.
6. Is inter-personally exploitative, i.e., takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends.
7. Lacks empathy: is unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others.
8. Is often envious of others or believes that others are envious of him or her.
9. Shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes.

Those are the characteristics of a person with narcissistic personality disorder, but I think they characterize millennials as a generation well.

inb4 "This is one of the most empathetic generations ever!" Yes, to people who share their views. They're incapable of empathizing with those they disagree with.

da

I think that these (most, anyway) are fairly characteristic of anyone who has had the opportunity to grow up in a particular social/economical class.

I also find that such personality traits are not limited to the Millennial generation...

To be fair, I am a millennial, I grew up under particular circumstances, but as a whole, and again, perhaps I am looking at this from a limited perspective, but I don't think all these apply. At least not to the majority. Perhaps I am not very aware of my contemporaries.

It doesn't characterize everyone in that generation, and there are narcissists in every generation, sure. But I think it captures the essence of the victimhood/entitlement attitude we're seeing at American universities with students protesting speakers, making demands, seeking to punish microaggressions, etc.

Some of this is perhaps youth in general, and it could well be a matter of economic or class privilege because this seems to happen most frequently at prestigious universities. I work at a "poor" university, and no one protests anything because they're too busy trying to make it through school while paying rent and often tuition out-of-pocket and sometimes caring for small children or aging parents at the same time.

I'm with you on this. I've seen this more out of prestigious and "rich" universities where the student populace is rich and entitled and a bunch of whiny rich prats.

Meanwhile, I -WENT- to a "poor" RURAL university, where people really didn't protest because we had to make it through school while trying to make ends meet. If we wanted something to change, WE worked to make the change. Students wanted a group for LGBT+ students? We found a professor to sponsor us and formed the group ourselves and got the paperwork to make it an official campus group. We didn't bitch and whine that we were being oppressed. We worked our butts off to get our own group.

Re: Millennials

It's the echo chamber generation. We're the first generation to be able to surround ourselves so completely with people that share our exact views (through the magic of the internet, which has 100% changed how we interact with each other face-to-face), and shut out all opposing ones, to the point where opposing viewpoints are actually vilified right out of the starting gate. That's where the entitlement comes from. We're so used to being agreed with that a disagreement feels like a personal attack.
