[quote]And one last thing, there is a bad connotation with calling yourself a millennial. I know it shouldn't, but it makes you seem like you are insensitive to the issues people face today.[/quote]
No it's actually the other way around, which is why milennials are widely labeled (often correctly so) as being fragile.
Millennials do quite well with diversity of skin color and body parts, but they struggle mightily with diversity of thought. Any thought or belief that runs counter to their own is wrong and must be silenced. This is why college campuses are the way they are today. There is only one acceptable narrative for every single societal issue. Any deviation from this one narrative ("truth") is subject to ridicule and silencing.

My opposed idea: The internet isn't real. Thicken up that skin.

I have two points to say here: 1) thank you for helping clear up the definition of millennial, obviously the definition I had learnt from context in conversation was not entirely the truth. 2) with the comment of thickening skin, the same could be said for real life, and yet people still get affected by what is said. Not everyone is the same as by extension not everyone can cope with the same situations rationally. It is important to remember that these people exist, that is all I wished to say.
