This seems like more of a Gen X attribute to me. I’m an older millenial, and I know heaps of people my age who go to therapy.
I dunno, this seemed accurate to me - not because millennials don’t want to go to therapy, but because they can’t afford to.
Yeah our generation was short of the -68 hippie love generation so we got the sex drugs and rock’n roll decade. Millennials seems so much more at ease with their (bad) feelings.
I think it depends on whether you can afford therapy.
Yep.
But the covering up with music part is still less common for millenias, who are more likely to be able to openly discuss their struggles and emotions with friends
Very fucking good.
That’s a Boomer-ass decal that Millennial has on his window.
This guy is most definitely listening to Creed.

Stolen from Gen-X.
Lame
Yeah, I’ve been doing this since 1987.
Men have been doing this since cars had radios lol
What‽ Therapy is our thing. We can’t afford a house but by fuck we go to therapy even if we have to cut down on avocado toast
I spent $1500 of my student loans on it the first half of the year before realizing I qualify for sliding scale and now have medicaid covering everything… I’ve been kicking myself for the last month, but hey, I also realized there’s tons of food banks in my area so at least I’m saving money in a few ways now 😅
And just as PSA for anyone else, even if (or especially if?) not in the States, if your insurance doesn’t cover therapy, a TON of therapists/counsellors offer sliding scale. Don’t be afraid to ask.
This is the most gen x post ever
This is correct. Genx plays music loud. Millenials gently insert their earbuds so they can quietly listen to soft sad music and not bother anyone.
Go to therapy
I always used to say to other guys who were freaking out about something on a job site “HEY! YOU WAIT UNTIL AFTER WORK AND CRY IN YOUR TRUCK LIKE THE REST OF US!”
9 times out of 10 they laughed and calmed down a bit. And like it happens when your working camp jobs and long hours, everyone gets frustrated.
Normalize not passing on generational trauma
But it’s tradition, we need to pass on the culture.
Millennials damn near invented therapy with all their mental wellness shit—tf is this post?

No, boomers don’t go to therapy because they believe it’s for weak people. Millennials don’t go to therapy because they can’t afford it. Same result, different approaches.
Yes, the cycle continues for as long as humanity exists.

OP seems to think so
It’s the days you rawdog life and go home without music. Thems the days.
Go to therapy y’all. Even if you had a perfect upbringing and zero trauma or adversity, you can still unlock more of your own potential and understand yourself better. Even an imperfect outlet like a NA group setting like is better than white knuckling it.
That “unlocking your full potential” sounds more like personal coach pseudoscience than actual medical practice, though.
Be sure to go to actual collegiate professionals with a certified degree in psychology or psychiatry.
you can still unlock more of your own potential and understand yourself better
Which is why I avoided saying “full potential” like it’s a life panacea and any failure to achieve 100% is your personal failure instead of the program’s.
Yes please only go to board certified professionals for mental health and/or therapy, and please please puhhlease don’t make an LLM or authority figure like a priest your therapist…
I don’t disagree with what you said, but most therapists will have a degree in counseling or social work. Psychologists and psychiatrists usually do not work as therapists, although there are exceptions.
