I wouldn't interpret that as me being mad or triggered, merely just me making an assumption.
Looks like I assumed right though, you were dismissive of my point of view and went the petulant victimhood route, instead of discussing or debunking anything I listed in my original comment.
So are you going to engage in a discussion about your point of view vs. mine? or are you just here to feed your ego?
Hey
@trustfund -
I really am not interested in debating something that doesn't apply to me with someone who appears incapable of comprehending compassion and empathy and repeatedly deflects that back at me in order to pick a fight about something that isn't really relevant to the OP or my situation. I was actually the generation after the boomers, so does that mean i should have been suffering from the injustices you speak of? Every generation has to adapt and I'm truly sorry its so hard for young ladies and gentleman out there today, but is it my fault or duty to defend what happened? i just lived my life and did the best I could.
Please allow me to reiterate what i previously replied to you with (with a small editorial change), and lets see if you can mindfully listen and not clap back - my ego albeit fragile doesn't get affected by this kind of drivel and lack of comprehension or careful attention. It seems my use of "triggered" may have been the catalyst, so allow me to say again, it was not my intent to make light of anyone's situation, and if you feel that way, please forgive me for that.
- FIRST attempt at repair and reconciliation from your response:
I was merely trying to share how I was able to afford this hobby and my financial decisions that made it possible now, sorry to have triggered UPSET or ANGERED you.
To me this feels like quite a leap from the point of my post, but my intention wasn’t to blame anyone for their situation or let anyone off the hook, just sharing my experience and observations.
Also, I’m not a boomer, my parents are, i am gen X, but sure, I suppose every subsequent generation could point fingers at the previous generations for their difficulties.
I wish you luck getting through these tough times and I definitely feel for the younger generation - shits bananas out there.
- SECOND reply to your response to the above, just to try to really drive home my desire to be understanding and considerate:
My bad, I totally misread your response, apologies. It was this part that felt personally directed at me and that seemed to presume I’m dismissive to other people’s opinions or viewpoints.
(removed your post snippet about assuming i'd ignore you)
I don't feel i'm being dismissive - and can't see how you can call that "petulant victimhood mode."
i just don't have enough knowledge about what you claimed to debate it, and that assumes i disagreed, which i never did, i actually acknowledged your struggle.
Not being a boomer or in you shoes, i can't really engage about your thoughts anymore than what i've offered, purposely in the name of compassion, empathy and consideration.
Clearly I keep missing the mark with you, but as i said - i was only sharing my experience, not making statements about the financial predicaments each generation suffered at the hands of the previous or who should be held responsible.
Perhaps you can find someone else to argue with, cuz i won't go to there with you, find someone else please....🤗
