This is what happens when self esteem movement clashes with real life. :/

You are the best, don't let anyone tell you any different! Real life: I don't think so!

Actually, that gets to a big part of the problem: millennials are systematically gaslit into believing everything is their fault. Were sensitive snowflakes, were financially illiterate, we dont work hard enough, we complain too much, etc. etc. etc. All this even though the available evidence points to large-scale, systemic issues being the problem. We are told that all of this is our fault and chastised for daring to suggest that things shouldnt be like this. Were gaslit so effectively some of us do it to ourselves and others!
That destroys people who are struggling just to live, because they start to think they deserve to suffer and that life has nothing but suffering in store for them.
But we dont deserve to suffer. We have to open our eyes and share our struggles and fight to fix society. For ourselves and for the Zoomers and everyone else.
