If you ever feel alone facing certain challenges, remember that your entire generation is likely doomed to go through at least some of the same hurdles. If that doesn’t help much, try giving memes a go to see if they can help disperse the rain clouds over your head.
If you’re having a tough day, or if you simply want to enjoy some relatable content—and you’re a millennial by any chance—you’re in luck, as we have a list of top notch memes, as shared by the ‘Millennial Horror Story’. Covering everything from work to relationships, laundry, and beyond, it shows that we’re not alone going through ‘horror stories’ in life, be it a toxic boss, the chair full of laundry in need to be taken care of, or any other frightening scenario.

When I do that, I immediately say: "Wait, that sounds way different than what I actually mean, that is not what I am trying to say." Hopefully, by saying this immediately, it can reduce the chance of the other person being very hurt or offended or things escalating. And then I'll try to phrase it in a better way.
Currently the largest generation in the US (second to Gen X on a global scale), millennials—as well as those before and after them—face a unique set of challenges; but they seem to be not only determined but eager to deal with them.
According to the Case Foundation’s decade-long study of US millennials (which more than 150,000 of them took part in), individuals currently between 28 and 43 years of age are actively seeking ways to make the world a better place.
According to the CEO of the Case Foundation, Jean Case, “Millennials seek out possibilities across all aspects of their lives to have a positive impact on society and question norms that might pose barriers to implementing their ideas for social impact,” Inc reports.

The 10-year long study on millennials explored how they approach certain social issues and seek change and found 10 traits they have in common, starting with them being everyday changemakers; they tend to engage in (often spontaneous) good deeds on a daily basis, such as making donations or socially responsible investments.
Believing in activism and caring for social issues are second and third on the list of traits characteristic to the millennial group, as they actively take part in rallies, voting, and other forms of expressing their stance on all sorts of relevant matters.

Yes, but way less effective (because it only works in the moment and doesn't change the root of the problem at all), and way worse for the environment.

It’s so funny, being bullied as a kid was horrible and traumatising, but I’m also used to questioning whether someone’s insults are actually valid. Whereas so many of my peers hear “being old is bad” and unquestioningly believe it.

My teenage cousins bought me "over the hill" gag gifts on my 30th birthday. Years later, I was in the car with one of them when she said "Why is this song on the classic rock station? It is from high school." I laughed my a*s off and reminded her of that gift.

The study also found that millennials seem to be passionate about issues more than institutions; while they tend to contribute to and support organizations advocating for certain deeds, the absolute majority say they would seize their contributions if said trust was lost.
Be that as it may, the extent of their philanthropic initiatives has been growing over the last several years. Studies found that between 2016 and 2022, millennial gift giving has seen an increase of 40%, likely making them one of the most generous generations out there.

I get this one, it would be a good day if I actually got inside my house before the tears started after a bad day at work. One of my co-workers told her kids over dinner that she had cried that day at work and added "at least I wasn't the only one".

Load More Replies...The Case Foundation study also suggested that millennials tend to value collective effort and networks, but don’t bear as positive of an outlook towards their government, especially in regards to its ability to deal with poverty, race and culture-related issues, and student loans. Based on recent data, millennials arguably carry the 2nd highest student loan debt out of all the generations, preceded only by Gen X.

Other millennial characteristics analyzed in the Case Foundation study emphasized that they not only do good themselves but pay attention to who around them—be it a person or an organization—does, too; for example, they might pay attention to whether a certain brand is socially responsible or not and be influenced by their peers (not) doing something.
They also reportedly tend to believe that all action matters, no matter how big or small, and often look for innovative ways to initiate change.

Well you know that Covid is on the rise again. Only two cases so far but you shouldn't chance it.
One of the main issues millennials—as well as Gen Z—are reportedly quite passionate about is climate change and the well-being of our planet. The two generations seem to be in the lead in regards to addressing the matter on and offline and prioritizing the development of alternative energy sources, as well as putting restrictions on power plant carbon emissions and gas-powered cars and trucks.

Load More Replies... Social issues are seemingly not the only aspects of life that millennials tend to address differently than their older and younger counterparts; their ways of approaching family life seem to differ quite significantly, too.
According to Pew Research Center, a millennial is less likely to have a family of their own at a certain age compared to a representative of a previous generation at the same stage in life. To put things into perspective, back in 2019, three-in-ten millennials lived with a spouse and child, while roughly four-in-ten of Gen Xers did at a comparable age.

Load More Replies...Another aspect that makes the millennials stand out from all the rest is their use of technology. Considered to be the first generation of digital natives, they grew up in the information age, continuously exposed to digital technology, which made them more than capable of applying it in different spheres in life.
When it comes to the use of smartphones, for instance, millennials, who are topping the list, are reportedly followed by Gen Xers, Baby Boomers, and the Silent Generation respectively (according to 2019 data, which does not mention individuals younger than those born in 1996).

Even though every person takes their own path in life, chances are that those belonging to the same generation are likely to deal with similar joys and troubles in life or be presented with similar horror stories.

You know, this way of thinking is horrible on mental health. Some people are just skilled at social media and they reap the rewards, some people's skills are in piloting jet engine planes, for others it's working in the city's sanitary division. People make money with what they are good at or what they are willing to tolerate. I think it's amazing how people can use social media and make massive amounts of money, a skill I most definitely do not have lol

They’ll occasionally have a really good article though that gets my hopes up only have them come crashing down again with all the AITA listicles. Also, they do absolutely nothing about the trolls on this site if you report them, yet they censor harmless words like r****m and a**s.
