Boomers and Gen X Gather on Reddit to Discuss What Really Irks Them About Life

Time to learn a thing or two, kiddos.

Posted by Elna McHilderson

the best part about getting older is becoming wiser. That doesn't just happen to everyone, but if you're really paying attention to life and living/learning from your mistakes, then you can't even stop the wisdom coming forth.

Life always has ups and downs no matter what generation you were born into. But there are some downs that you can avoid by listening to your elders. For example, when you worry, you're just forcing yourself to experience that bad feeling twice. Not worrying is, obviously, easier said than done, but it's still some wise words of advice. Boomers, Gen X, and other elder Reddit users gathered in the AskReddit sub to answer what really irks them about today's society and they share what they've learned from it. So, yes, it is a little complaining about social media and the younger generations always needing their smartphones. However, it's also a lot of life lessons learned that you could use to avoid hitting that hiccup in life. See for yourself below!
