Thankfully this is changing… I see a clear divide in attitudes in my workplace between the boomers nearing retirement, and the new kids (Gen Z) that are coming in fresh out of college. And all I can say is: good riddance. Boomers are fucking toxic, but the Gen Z kids see right through that bullshit.
Every generation is different. Whether they’re “better” than those before is the real debate, and I don’t know how anyone can be objective about what’s “better” and how you measure that.
Thankfully I have a spouse I can open up to 100% with and will make me feel heard and supported. When I’m at a boiling point, she’s good at helping me to ease up. If it wasn’t for her though, my mental health would be in the gutter.
Cuz society mocks and looks down upon men who open up and talk. There’s very little room for error being a man.

“But this generation is different!”
Give me a break.

The kids are all right, in my book.
Every time I’ve opened up it’s been ignored at best and ridiculed at worst. I just stopped.
Yeah I know the feeling.
