Is there a generation gap here? (Page 2)

Neither works when you have people looking over your shoulder all the time and sticking their nose into your business 24/7.
So mind you own business and we can then get down to business coz this suit is closed
I think this generations adults have a lot of bad habits that need to be unlearned??_.having said that I think there is much to learn from them such as what not to do??_and they have a lot to learn from their kids I think the younger generation are being used like a big generator to bring in the new and exciting
When it comes to the generation gap thingy I am so beyond taking shit from adults. I have a hairdressing teacher for a mother she never taught me anything except on how to do her roots, she loved her career and loved her students even more because they made her feel young, she would throw parties for them and they would be at my house getting drunk and id be getting drunk too sometimes when I was like 12, I was like the child she had to go back to that was looking after her even younger child??_... My dad is a self taught musician and speaks fijian he taught me none of those would rather drink sitting on the couch with his guitar daydreaming about being on stage ??_..I love adults in general I think they are great friends but they think they hide their insecurities or that I don't notice them and then they want to try and shut me out and condescend to me. and I'm like fine be like that!
I miss the adults of the 40s and the 50s they were just so glam back then and had completely separate lives to their children ??_.now days you can't tell the diff??_.I'm talking about in the western culture you know places where there are mcdonalds and happy meals that attract parents who want to buy their kids a cheap meal with a cheap toy to shut them up??_..those places are especially designed for that purpose and parents fall straight into it??_all the consumerism and advertising is just utter bullshit that the generation of today were force fed when they were kids and its now happening to our kids??_but our kids are getting smarter and faster and they are gonna wake up to this shit..
The only thing thing adults of today are good for are not thinking about their kids!!??_.whatever happened to preserving the world for our children and our children's children—_..no one thinks of the fucking children??_.its all bombs, whaling, global meltdown, nuclear power plants leaking in the pacific, and all while this shit is going on you have the adults sitting there with their finger up their ass and the other one pointing at themselves saying "what about me"?

All about respect when communicating, especially in the written form. 80% of communication is non verbal- so when one is posting on an internet forum a lot is missing and the only thing visible is what is typed. The reader then puts their own tone or emotions to what they are reading. Sometimes that can cause triggers in the reader and can cause a response that can be tainted for lack of a better word or can be delivered positively.
At times I am one of the harsh or blunt posters other have mentioned, I don't mean to be, but I do know I come across that way at times, so I try to inject a 🙂 to soften it. It's how I communicate. I try not to be rude however, there is a huge difference in a blunt delivery and a downright rude one. Sometimes posters don't see their own rudeness which in turn elicits the reactions they receive from others. Also, some posters think there shit don't stink- which causes me to crack up, because we are humans, we are not perfect.

Yes my dads fijian and my mum is aussie
I thought my dad was taurus all this time turns out he is gemini as well 😛!??_..and I can see it because they both have this vanity streak in them lol
Yeh also I am not getting to the fact that just coz you are like old in years doesnt mean you are old or if you young in years then you young.
It so happens that sometimes when old you young and when young you old.
dont confuse this with generational gaps as there is many related to the age in years and not how old a person actually is if that makes any sense

so if I am confusing and harash then thats how it is coming across deal with it my words betray you always best not talk in these situations until you know what it is you talking about lest your words be miscontrued into something that is or is not
I don't really see a generation gap on here, I don't see the distance between myself and the older dxpeeps only when I'm distanced by being called ignorant I see that as condescending then I'll do an age jab like call them grandma or grandpa??_but its all good

Young uns today seem spoiled and entitled. That is their generation. DeeG, you are right. It's our generation that spoiled them by being their friend and not demanding as much respect as perhaps we should have.
I think the generation coming up behind them will be different, though. They're not as spoiled as parents can't afford to give them as much. As children, they've lived through 9-1-1 and seen the economic collapse and massive job layoffs. I read somewhere they are more aligned with my grandparents generation and how the cycle is starting all over again.
Of course my generation, Generation X, were considered spoiled too. We grew up during easy economic times. My generation is the instant gratification generation - microwaves, VCRs, instant credit, instant oatmeal/coffee/potatoes, etc.
Yeah I completely agree about the instant gratification society it isn't just passed on to kids through parents solely by racking up debt to acquire the latest gadgetry. But it is also passed on through competitive sports. I mean when every child gets a trophy solely for just participating, its raising children to believe things are just given to them. And not through the value of hard work and trials. So later on in life as adults they can't handle set backs. I played competive sports all my years of growing up, and when I wasn't playing on a team friends and I would have enough gumption ourselves to set games up. I never see kids having games at schools and parks really, unless maybe there their for brother or sisters game.
To me it only seems logical that the generation gap can also be due to the means of communication. I mean younger generation typical communication is social media and texting. So as far as respect is concerned, its easier to forget their is another person on the other end of your negative comments. Where as in person both individuals will be able to relate to each other more on a identifiable level, and more apt to show respect.
After reading my posts. I had a oh crap moment. Oh crap, I'm sounding like my parents noooooooooooo 🙂.

In China and many other countries they respect their elders regardless. I'm assumimg this had to do with what happened to PA earlier today?
I think that approach is wrong though tbh. I come from a culture that believes the younger generation should respect the older generation regardless and some elders abuse it and try to dictate the younger generation. True I've always been respectful towards my parents and elders, it's only right. But that doesn't mean I have to agree with everything elders think or say. I'm still my own person with my own mind.
Not taking their advice and disrespecting them, are two different things.
I completely agree. I was just trying to point out that with countries where you see respect for elderly regardless not everything is perfect.click to expand
I never said it was. I was just trying to point out that it's not unheard of in this world to be respectful of elders.
Written word gets misunderstood most times due to the lack of the non-verbal communication that happens when speaking with others on a face to face level. 🙂 Don't think it has anything to do with ages.

I said that a few posts ago, agreed.
I accept advice given that a person knows what the hell they're talking about. Older does not always mean wiser as everyone has differing life experiences. Someone older may have never experienced what someone younger has, and in turn the younger one is wiser in that area.
Depending on how much older, when it comes to dating and relationships, older may encourage an old mindset that was okay maybe 20-30 years ago, but today is no longer a widely held belief since, you know, things progress and they just refuse to evolve. This would likely apply to those who think being a beaten, agreeable housewife is the way to go when winning a guy over- just an example of a mindset then compared to now.
As for some of the typical experiences that everyone goes through as a part of growing up, if younger doesn't want to listen to older, fine. They'll just learn like everyone else did. Again, part of evolving into a mature adult.
In regard to this site in particular, it terrifies me when I find out that a certain user is x age (older) after the way they behave and the advice they gives. So no, older does not get instant respect because omgz I'm older and better. Not on DXP, anyway.

I don't think the problem is a generation gap .... I can remember my mother, grandmother, aunts ... going back 50 years ... and the FACT that there have always been "generation" never seemed to cause this block.
Some, but, not like it is today.
The problem here is that the modern parents don't tell their children "no". Children are lead to believe that everything they do or say is right.
Now, these kids are young adults .... and they believe that they don't err ... because they've never had to actually sit on the bench and WORK for respect.
It used to be that respect was earned ... now it's a given, so now there's no reason to be conscientious.
Without the realization of failure .... success cannot exist. But, that's not what has been programmed. What has been programmed is that there is success without lifting a finger.
Note: I only read the Opening Post, so if what I said was already touched on ... then I reiterate those sentiments.

Showing respect for someone much older, doesn't mean they're better, it means you have some class and some manners. Even if that person acts like an ass. The fact that a young adult doesn't engage in a mouthing off contest, shows a great deal about their upbringing.
Believe me I've been around long enough to see many of my friends loose it when they hit their mid-lives, they were so "MATURE" when they were younger, that they try to re-live their youth when they get older.
Its ok to keep some of that youthful quality as the years go by. Some youths on here are like old people. That's not maturity, that just crotchety. Maturity doesn't mean you have to sit home and read a book on a Saturday night, not at any age.
I always loved astrology, why should I not love it anymore, because I'm 48? that's just the stupidest thing I ever heard of. As for adults being on DXP, why not? I feel sorry for the youths that are on this site 24/7, that's not just immature but depressing.
I had an amazing social life in my teens, twenties, thirties and still going strong and living life in my forties.

Maturity is about taking responsibility for yourself and your actions, right or wrong. Being able to say sorry, hey I'm only human, make the necessary changes and move on from there.

This is a very good point.
Also, I am thankful that the internet and social media were not around when I was in my teens and early 20s. I can't imagine how more complicated that makes things.

I'm going to challenge this statement. How does simply spending a lot of time on the internet equal immaturity? I know people who spend a great deal of time on the internet but also do well in school, study, work hard, etc. If 'mature' is supposed to be acting like an adult, why do you say it's okay for adults to be here and don't talk about anything being wrong with them being on here 24/7 but when youths emulate that they're immature? That goes against the definition of maturity.
And just because you had good experiences being social does not mean it's immature or wrong to not be social, whether young or old. Some people enjoy the internet and are still responsible people.
I have learned a lot by reading everyone's post and I appreciate everyone's honesty. I think I have a better feel for how the younger generations think and approach things. Hopefully, I will be able to apply what I've learned to future situations and my interactions with people.
thanks yall!
thanks yall!

This honestly comes across as dimissive towards introverts. Not everyone wants an amazing social life, and some actually enjoy staying in and reading books.

Personally I don't really enjoy a "social life." I have a few people who I talk to and hang out with, but I'm not a fan of being out in the crowd. While you're out, I'm learning something new that I wanted to. Guess what's crazy about that though? We're both doing what we want to do. You're building social skills and I'm building the skills to have the company to hire you with your social skills. 😛
yes..there is this discourse thing..one word is associated with positive values while the other is with negatives.. today, being extroverts is considered positive..the word extrovert is associated with things/values like - outgoing, sociable, outspoken, enjoy sports, outdoorsy activities, makes friends instantly & easily .. whilst the word introvert is associated with things like - quiet(or on the more positive note..reserved), shy(which is not true..some extroverts are shy as well..and actually being shy and being introvert are two different things), has a few or small circle of close friends
..which give one party power and superiority..by marginalizing the other party
probably it is because..this era we're living in now puts much emphasis positions or materials that can be earned...probably..with more ease..by being extrovert than being introvert ..like well, when one goes to a job interview..people tend to emphasize: I've got great interpersonal skills..I'm very sociable..I make acquaintances quickly and easily.. I love to socialize, etc.
so people..even without being aware of oneself..tend to think 'ah, being an extrovert is good..better than being an introvert'
yet probably this might be true in some sense..like in the area of job promotions..there probably is more chance and possibility for an extrovert to get ahead than an introvert..but then it's about the society and what values it promotes.. not about one being naturally either an introvert or extrovert
but it's also reported in researches that as people age, introverts tend to enjoy life more (as people get old..they cannot enjoy outdoorsy activities as much as they did when they were young..and expanding one's social circle becoming somewhat harder also) than extroverts tend to.. so each has some advantages/or disadvantages of being either(introvert/extrovert)
and other researches say among lots of successful CEOs or such people..there are many introverts, too..
so I think I'd say th

so I think I'd say there's nothing wrong about being either introvert or extrovert..and neither has reason to feel superior over the other..or unnecessarily proud..

For some people its impossible to show respect to a person who acts like an ass??_??_.The only older people I respect are people like Einstein, Buddah, Newton or any other elder who has their head stuck in their craft or practice not up their asses.
To the introverts- I encourage you to get out of your comfort zone and try to fine tune your social skills. It will help you in your career and business dealings. I'm a little bit introverted myself so I understand your preferences. I used to be timid in social situations. Still am at times. After years in the workforce, I figured out that people who are comfortable socially tend to create the network necessary that helps them move ahead faster than others. Of course there are advantages of being introverted, but social skills open alot of doors. Just a thought to consider.

I was responding in jest, to a post a few pages back, that implied older people shouldn't be into astrology or be an the internet cus it's immature. I don't think its immature at all for anyone to be on the internet but moderation goes a long way.
Gotcha dg ; )
And truecap, you should change the word 'introvert' into 'shy' in your post. Introverts can have great social skills it's just they get worn out from socializing too much and need a break. Extroverts are those who thrive around people instead of alone. They may not have great social skills either but just prefer to be around others even if they can't communicate well. Introverts don't automatically have bad social skills nor are they automatically shy.

And truecap, you should change the word 'introvert' into 'shy' in your post. Introverts can have great social skills it's just they get worn out from socializing too much and need a break. Extroverts are those who thrive around people instead of alone. They may not have great social skills either but just prefer to be around others even if they can't communicate well. Introverts don't automatically have bad social skills nor are they automatically shy.
No problem Scenic....I love the internet, glad it came around when it did, I don't get out as much as I used to. I really brushed up on my typing and spelling.

I agree.. extroverts and introverts are not about having one has social skills whilst the other does not.. being shy/being a wall flower is a different thing being an introvert ..the former two are socially awkward.. the latter is one who needs alone time more than the extroverts
psychologically..extroverts mean people who pick up energy around others, thus they recharge and get strength back by being around others..whilst introverts need to retreat to oneself to recharge..they often feel drained when spend too much time being around others..but this does not mean they avoid interactions other humans
and no one says 'you should be more introverted..' whilst they are many who say 'you should be more extroverted..' I think this is that discourse thing I mentioned in my previous post.. one should think what this phenomenon means behind
I consider myself a bit introverted as well..I enjoy socializing.. I get often promoted to take a position of a leader in many projects or clubs I participate, have no problem with approaching and striking a conversation with total strangers.. but there are certain intervals I must be left alone and recharge myself..and in that regard, I consider myself an introvert, not based on social skills I have

Personally I don't really enjoy a "social life." I have a few people who I talk to and hang out with, but I'm not a fan of being out in the crowd. While you're out, I'm learning something new that I wanted to. Guess what's crazy about that though? We're both doing what we want to do. You're building social skills and I'm building the skills to have the company to hire you with your social skills. 😛
LOL...I don't think so, by the time you're ready to have your own business, I'll be retiring. I didn't say I had an amazing social life to piss anyone off, yet I see a lot of defensive responses.
What? I'm not allowed to say I had an amazing Social Life? I'm sorry if that offends you, it wasn't meant to be taken that way. If you're gonna own your own business ya better toughen up, news flash,, "its a jungle out there."

I had an amazing social life in my teens, twenties, thirties and still going strong and living life in my forties.
This honestly comes across as dimissive towards introverts. Not everyone wants an amazing social life, and some actually enjoy staying in and reading books.
Introverts are integral to society. They are truly thinkers and problem-solvers with unique and thoughtful perspectives.
And I'm not only saying this because my virgo is an introvert, and constantly inspired me to consider a new approach to something I always took for granted. It takes all kinds to make a world and, unfortunately, the world is biased towards extroverts.click to expand
Ok, another response to my "Amazing Social Life as a youth" comment...sorry that offended you to. Bunch of cry babies on this sight.

Yeh I'm an energetic person I exercise a lot I go out clubbing and I can dance until morning without getting tired??_.but having to talk to people, now thats draining??_.I once had a one way conversation with this chick telling me all the types of cigarettes she liked and I'm like "i really need to go to the toilet"??_and just went back to the dance floor and i'm unapologetic about doing that stuff??_..I love being alone but I don't like being lonely I remember reading somewhere and its true??_.I hate myself sometimes because I'm socially awkward

Or maybe it's because we can't see each other. I'm sure if we were standing face to face things would be much different.
Yes this is possible. I was just reminded... very clearly put as well... from an older sagi woman,that she is 30 years my elder.
Thing is, though, that I have caught her getting caught up in her ego and sacrificing the more important picture for her ego and sticking to her guns. When I pointed it out to her she blew me off but I noticed from her actions afterwards that maybe she did hear what I said.click to expand
That's a good thing, not saying a young person can't teach an old dog new tricks. Maybe she didn't want to admit it. You have always come across very well mannered that's just what I've noticed.
