This idea of boomers typically being emotional immature resonates with me and my life experience, but do you have any ideas why that’s the case? I’ve ruminated on it a lot. I suspect less job competition could be a factor? Lower stakes in life and the ability to be less self censoring maybe? I hear so many of them say fucked up stuff and generally be very unserious. See no incentive to understand the world their kids live in etc. I had to work so fucking hard just to be able to rent my own place and get out of share housing and they didn’t have any trouble like that, but act like I just don’t work hard enough.
Comment on A baby boomer tried to show me a positive side to the cost of living crisis. It didn't help

I wouldn’t have the issue of hoarding things like her, as I would never be able to afford them in the first place.
I know boomers tend to have terminal foot in mouth disease and the emotional maturity of housecats but that response is fucking psychopathic
