      This is just autistic munchausen’s. Everyone wants to be special without the effort and we’ve romanticized mental illness.

        There are also other conditions whose symptoms score really high on autism screeners. Certain types of PTSD, for example.

        Kind of like how some people who give up wheat and feel better think they’re gluten intolerant, but it was actually the FODMAPs.

      How do you know anyone’s ages in this post?

      Also, isn’t the joke here that the young person (millennials aren’t young people), finds the older person idiotic?

        Didn’t you see me say that I’m a gen-xer? I’m only thinking of myself. Or, rather, criticizing the world I see, cynically, on the context of “the self” as is my mode. I’m so abstracted that I really don’t care about anyone else.

        BUT I do now realize that this post was actually a Gen Z joke about Millennials, but, you know, whatever.

        I’m too busy being pretentious and self-involved
