Girls would you say millenial men and younger men are overly emotional compared with older men?

Question

No. Emotions are not the problem. Men have always been emotional. Not knowing how to healthy display them without lashing out or negatively: Highly reactive, is. I know because I too became a highly reactive person and I'm emotional. And it's NOT just because I am a woman. But a woman who suffered abuse. Most of these men have endured unhealthy treatment growing up and often came from abusive situations where neither of their emotions was respected or properly handled. Some get help, others can't, some are literally marginalized and victim shamed no different than women. That is the problem.

The older generations had another battle to fight. They had a mixture of discipline and abuse. But the problem today as a millennial woman? No discipline and "discipline" are done often in the form of abuse. In other words? There was no healthy structure. The times have changed drastically since the Baby Boomer era.

Not true. Ever heard of MBTI? 16 personality type immediate distinguishes between people of all ages into 16 personalities based on 8 specific traits: Introversion Vs Extroversion, iNtiution vs Sensing, Feeling VS Thinking VS Judging Vs Perceiving. It didn't matter what era you were born on. Each era had different expectations. And there were a lot of abusive practices in that area. I know because my lat grandfather was very sensitive. He was in the army years back, but he was ISFP. And they're sensitive.

Fe: Extroverted Feelers are like me are Highly emotional and express themselves outwardly. I express through action, body language, facial expressions, and speech. Under stress, I can become cold, detached, disengaged, nearly depressed, or curt. Unhealthy Fi.
Fi: Introverted Feelers like my late grandfather are not outward feelers, but do feel more intensely internally. And how they express them are more strained a bit, yet show little to no outward expressions. Under pressure, they can lash out with unhealthy Fe.

Women are becoming less sensitive and emotional for two reasons:

1. We are forced to act more like men because men can no longer be a provider, leader, protector, etc. So we have to be both the men AND the woman.

2. Under stress, with unrealistic expectations we become frustrated, angry, depressed, and broken because it's damn if we do, damn if we don't. If we express ourselves, then 'women are too emotional' and men tune out. If we're cold and distant then 'all women are B**tches' and still not get taken seriously. If we tolerate it then your weak. If we don't, then were unfemine.

You men may have it hard, but we have it harder either way. All you need to do is work and your fine. We have to do that and more. It is not expected of you to have a wive or girlfriend. Just to not be a virgin. For us, we are either good as virgins like me [to be used for sex] or be seen as a prude or religious [like I've been called because refuse to have sex outside of marriage. If not then your a slut, a b, a hoe, and the whole list. So I highly suggest you wake up and get educated. Everybody is going through something. Though not everybody experience or go through nor handle the same thing or problems.

Obviously. If not your seen as either asexual, lesbian or mocked for it. If you're not even remotely physically or sexually attractive than usually then you are not going to have the same expectations or much pressures. Sadly a society wants to see it. You'll be seen as somebody who's going to get someone on your same level at best. But often times you be considered as somebody who shouldn't even reproduce. That's how sickening this world is.

You know how many times I got called all sorts of names and it would be considered as weird or they must be something wrong with me for me not to be having anybody when I never dated or been involved with a person before? You're not only seen as a loser but you're seen as something mentally wrong with you. Therefore it makes a lot of people grow intimidated and they assume that you're not worth the effort.

I wouldn't say "more emotional." It seems millennials struggle to process emotions, resulting in mini-crises on a regular basis. Sharing every mundane detail of their lives on social media is the norm, so they're more apt to discuss how they feel, which is good. Internalizing is much less common.

Millennials grew up with less face-to-face interaction than the preceding generations. Social cues and body language did not play a major role in their development. That's bound to have an impact on their emotional health and coping skills.
