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.

[-] alquicksilver@lemmy.world 19 points 2 months ago

I dunno, this seemed accurate to me - not because millennials don't want to go to therapy, but because they can't afford to.

[-] ComfortableRaspberry@feddit.org 14 points 2 months ago

That's an American thing. Where in from, health insurance covers it completely. But you'll need a while to find a good, available therapist

[-] Valmond@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

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.

This guy is most definitely listening to Creed.

Yeah, I've been doing this since 1987.

[-] queermunist@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 months ago

Men have been doing this since cars had radios lol

[-] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 19 points 2 months ago

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

[-] devfuuu@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

But it's tradition, we need to pass on the culture.

[-] dumbass@leminal.space 12 points 2 months ago

Talking shit on here is my therapy. That and screaming at sky tempting god to show himself so I can kick his ass.

[-] Quokka@quokk.au 11 points 2 months ago

Sky god always hides the coward.

God's dead. What do you think Armstrong and Aldrin were doing on the moon?

[-] Milk_Sheikh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 7 points 2 months ago

Therapy costs money. What's it gonna do for me that's worth the cost?

[-] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 months ago

Depends on your damage.

[-] daniskarma@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] Kolanaki@pawb.social 7 points 2 months ago

It's more affordable than therapy.

[-] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

This guy: Creed

Me: Mad Caddies

[-] paranoid@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Yes.... But I also go to therapy

[-] individual@toast.ooo 4 points 2 months ago

what's up with the black and white american flag?

[-] Monument@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 2 months ago

Every millennial I know is in therapy.

I do not associate with people who decorate their vehicles that way. I find they act like sociopaths.

Ergo, people who put flags like that on their cars are in need of therapy.

I’ve declared it to be true. Spread the word.

[-] rumba@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 months ago

Laughs from the generation where everybody and their brother installed an amp and a couple of 12-in kickers in their car.

[-] billwashere@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Well 4 12 inch Pyles and Miami Bass Wars in the cassette player but yeah totally …

[-] Lawnman23@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

non-secured bandpass box with 2 15’s and a ungodly oversized amp hastily wired in place, all in the trunk of a clapped out Chevy Lumina blasting Crazy Town - Butterfly has entered the conversation…

[-] billwashere@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

I think I knew you in high school.

[-] rickdg@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

you guise have vehicles?

[-] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 months ago

I ride a bicycle in traffic in a city that is ranked pretty bad for drivers across the continent. I'm not sure if that is therapy or an indicator of needing better therapy.

[-] GoodTransKitty@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 months ago

I do both. Need all the help I can get.

[-] agent_nycto@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

This is the most gen x post ever

[-] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Meanwhile, boomers rev their Harley Davidson motorcycles to drown out their thoughts.

I know the post is a joke, but millenial is the generation that paved the way to normalising mental health and therapy. Of course, not everyone would be on board. I know some of my peers who are stuck to the old ways and probably too afraid to even do therapy without even considering they don't have to tell someone they went to therapy.

[-] rimjob_rainer@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 months ago

What vehicle? I do the same, but at home.

[-] themaninblack@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago
[-] SupremeDonut@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 months ago

Go to therapy

[-] mienshao@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Millennials damn near invented therapy with all their mental wellness shit—tf is this post?

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

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
