It blew my mind💣 Everything just makes more sense now🥰 I've been working hard for years to "fix" myself and understand why I had to go through all that stuff... Still, this is an angle that has NEVER EVER come up!! Thank you Teal, for sharing this bigger picture💓🧡💛💚💙💜
She is so right! I used to work with hundreds of millennials. They are powerful and here to help Earth... and most of them know it! Our job is to provide love and encouragement. 💖💖💖
Teal, thank you. You hit me with this. I am 34 now, born in 1986. I believed my parents, I gave my best to satisfy them, I was a good student and I failed to gain success. No payoff at all. I have been seriously duped. Now I feel that I need to express myself and to build a new world on my own. But, I didn't know I was a Millennial until now, haha! Thank you so much. This is empowering. Greetings from Serbia 🇷🇸☀️🍀
Same here in Puerto Rico. I pay a student loan and NOT working the career and I am a NURSE in the pandemic! 🤣🤣🤣 also I dont fit in the system. I tried everything my mom expected (controlled)and I still couldn't fit. I lost 10 years that I could invested in arts. But now I feel like I'm escaping this black and grey dimension.
I am literally crying 😭😭😭!! I feel so stuck in life right now & have been contemplating unthinkable things. I happened to check your channel for something to help and saw you uploaded this just an hour ago!!! Thank you so much!! The whole time watching this, I felt understood and had things thrown into perspective that I didnt even understand myself, but makes perfect sense when you connect the dots. Whole time I'm like "okay how do I fix this" because I really dont want to give up 😭. Cant wait for part 2 with the solution. In the meantime, using this quarantine time to continue working on myself. Thank you so much for your content and all that you do.
@Brenda Tapia I completely understand and hope you're able to cultivate the healing & process you need in order to thrive. I have been so worried because I was on and off the fence of giving up for awhile now. Since October 2019 really. I told myself I would at least give therapy a try before I called it quits, and therapy just wasn't helping. It's more like a vent session with no real objective or structure to handling the things I talk about. I just feel like I'm "whining" after them. I knew I had things I needed to work on internally but didnt know where to start, other than taking control of my my health & my skills for creating a side business. Teal Swan's channel has actually helped more than my therapy sessions and is the only reason I haven't given up yet. She helps you tackle the roots of your struggles and provides structure & things to work on to overcome trauma or patterns that may be holding you back. I wish I found her ages ago!! But still grateful of the timing and that I was able to find her while I still have the chance to turn things around.
19Honey87 M don’t give up!! Things are coming to light in this world and we are gonna need you to help restructure it!! It may take you til your 70 or older, maybe not. You are important. What you have inside of you can heal this planet!❤️
I was in a calming state prior to watching this.... and the more she talked I just felt like all my subconscious feelings I’ve pushed down we’re resurfacing and I felt my stomach in my mouth wanted to tears up....this, is why part of us millennial turn to spirituality, find ourselves, the truth and peace within ourselves, or else we go crazy
Born in 1991, and it felt like Teal was speaking directly to me. I recognize everything and I feel a deep sadness and disappointment in society. Thank you for showing us the blind spots, so we can heal as a group collective and claim our best life. ♥️
@@unapologeticella4540 this is not fair, they didn't have internet lol It's really ridiculous when parents compare two different people in different times with different circumstances Usually I face this kind of comparison with sarcasm that's the best way

I was born in 1986. I'm a millennial. I'm not able to hold back the tears. I have never felt so understood. I see so much of this in myself and others in my generation. Thank you.
@@OzmaOfOzz Yes. From what I read millennials range from the 1980s to the 1990s. After that it is generation z up to ~2012 and now gen alpha up to 2025. It depends on the person's view.
Spot on! As a boomer, this is the best explanation of millennials I’ve ever heard to date. I feel much more generosity towards that generation, and wonder why I was so blind to what they’ve been going through. Thank you for this!!
I want to add that a lot of us felt like slaves to a pointless system long before we ever got out of school. Ask any millennial, whether an A student, the center of attention, or a dropout, we all HATED the public school system. It was built to make factory workers, the kind of jobs that don't exist anymore, and even without knowing that we knew what we were doing was pointless. It was all just busy work to try and keep us from doing anything we actually wanted, and most of us got burnt out on life long before we ever realized how fucked we were at making a living on top of that.
Chrome factsssss former A student here...I thought I was going to be taking as many classes as possible. Senior year came around and I took two free periods lmfao
I always felt school was just another way of having more trained thoughts and beliefs shoved down my throat. I did what I needed to make it through and get out, that was it. Plus being forced to go to college just so I could make a life I NEVER wanted. Years of my life I will never get back. It would have been nice for someone somewhere along the line ask, "what are your real needs."
I was burnt out by 18 and a D student because I hated school and knew it was a waste if time. I wanted to be an actress, and no one supported me or believefi could do it so I was forced to go to school and wasted my time doing so. it led to major depression, suicide attempts, addictions and being completely lost and stuck for almost a decade.
I dropped out as soon as I could at 16 because I was an illegal immigrant (brought here very young by my parents, who overstayed their visa for hope of a better life here). So being illegal I was always told I couldn’t go to college and my father left when I was 9. My mom was a single mom raising two kids and working two jobs so I barely saw her and when I did, she was never validating my emotions or even knew the first thing about me. All she did was fricken criticize me for doing something wrong and then getting impatient and doing things for me (never teaching me independence or self esteem). Not to mention the only memories I have of my father are the screaming matches he had with my mom. And we were still poor so I just grew up hopeless and depressed and rebelled in middle school. I found a group of friends who were, skaters, goths, and metalheads, and we’d go to shows and mosh because it was the only emotional outlet we had. It’s sad because before I gave up completely in school, I was very good at writing, drawing, history, etc. but I just felt so abysmally hopeless for most of my life I never honed many of my talents. It’s only now (at 30) that I’m finally healing from my childhood thanks to insight from Teal and others.
Smokey Dutchess School is definitely designed to brainwash. yeah fr would have been nice if my mom saw me as a person with my own unique needs instead of bitching and criticizing me nonstop for not being more like her. It would have been lovely if my aunts didn’t body shame me into an eating disorder for calling me fat when I didn’t even notice or care about my body image before all that. They made me feel like there was something wrong with me for being myself. What a wonderful life.
Born in 1963 (technically the tail end of the boomers, but my parents are also technically boomers)...I received these same “carrot/stick” messages growing up in the 70’s. I followed the same false paths to success - 2 masters degrees, no solid career, do not own a house. My parents? No college degrees, able to start and run a business - now retired and own their house. What millenials are facing truly began decades ago with the tail end of the boomers, Gen X-Y’s too...basically any child raised by a boomer is in this same boat. You are not alone in feeling this way.
Tigress in thigh high boots - I hear you Tigress...I think what a fraction of Gen X+Y kids experienced was more widespread for millenials, and therefore more representative of that generation...but the cracks started back in the 70’s...I did not have daily structure outside of school - they called us “latch-key kids” we came home to an empty house and also were fed Mac+Cheese, Pizza and McDonalds because our Boomer parents were both working and had no time for us. So there are some of us in our 40’s and 50’s who can relate and who feel ripped off and duped, who did “everything right” only to end up being screwed by the system, economy, or government, etc. You are not alone!
Random Insights totally agree I am 50 and either had no structure at home, or there was too much. No balance at all and the keys around the neck were my my neckless for many year!
We need to get into the govt heads. free Education is a right and a privilege and the world needs to stop seeing it as another way to make a buck....I have a 19yr old Apprentice and all he wants is to get stoned...because he can't afford uni and his parents wont pay...so the kid is stuck on the treadmill. ..I do my best to help but FREE EDUCATION IS REQUIRED AND NOW...thanks for thumbs up
I've never once in my life heard someone so... Respectfully & without judgment, hatred, or vitriol directed toward me, describe what I'm realizing so accurately is my actual experience. I can hardly do this for myself through all the veils I've been conditioned into seeing through, in fact I'm not sure I could from the inside perspective if I tried. This was honestly healing to listen to, just to hear my pain being acknowledged in a way every single person in my entire life has tried to gaslight away. That hits different 🥲 Thank you, Teal 🧡
Millennial here and I feel seen. So over older generations pointing the finger at us with disdain without them acknowledging that they raised us. Like whose idea was it to give participation medals? It wasnt the Millenials idea 🤣
Also millennial here. The goal of giving participation medals was to protect kids from the pain of failure. Yes it was a stupid idea but the intention behind it was good. If you look at the big picture, you'll be able to understand the older generations (and their intentions) better. After all, understanding is what we all long for, don't we?
As a millennial from Eastern Europe I never experienced any participation medals (is that an American thing?)...just a demand to always succeed. The environment was more of a you are not competing against anyone because everyone !should! be succeeding or face being rejected by default.
@@yanzi8543 I do not think we are in any way shape or form better suited for competition though as we have been taught that we are never good enough - we may know 5 languages but that person over there with 1 - he`s the man, because he was born somewhere else...kind of vibe :D
You’re so insightful. And spot on! I’m a millennial still living @ my parents house because it’s almost impossible to live on your own if you’re working a job that you enjoy (but can’t necessarily make a living at.). I tried the college>cubicle @ a big corporation with decent pay type job but I HATED it. I hated waking up in the morn. I eventually found that doing drugs helped the day go by. Plus that was when opioids were ABUNDANT and handed out like candy. I eventually spiraled and lost everything, and had to redevelop my life. This included finding a job that I enjoyed. I realized I was very good at being a florist, but it doesn’t pay the greatest and health insurance who? What’s that? You hit the nail on the head when u said “they e become committed to not committing.” Thats like my line: “I don’t want to commit to that” because I got tired of friends getting mad at me for making plans a month in advance and when it came to the day and I wasn’t feeling in the mood I would bail and they got angry. I actually lost a LOT of friends. Bitches be bitches. So it’s less hassle for me to NOT commit, that way if I’m not feelin it when I wake up that day, I can get off scot free. Lol I can’t wait to hear u explain how today’s kids, with their Millennial Parents raising them will grow up like.....with their cell phones, over abundance of choices and “inclusion,” internet/info at their fingertips, competitionless environments, expected instant gratification, “outrage culture” is the “new norm,” 24 hour news cycle, Fortnite addicted, skyrocketing childhood anxiety & depression riddled kids with parents scared to discipline or else “they’ll be judged by their peers” or put on blast on social media.
I'm 3 weeks off methadone after a 2-1/2 year daily heroin habbit so I can relate quite a bit to some of your story. I've done nothing with my life but work for the last 13 years in factory environment while living at home so money wasn't a problem. I was doing everything considered "right" but you start to realize things aren't so great when you rather be dead. Compounded by the fact the rest of society want you in jail because of a coping mechanism you have developed. "go to school - get a job" was my parents motto. Maybe "Make a connection - find a reason to live" might have been a better one.
I love how this video made us come together here! So that we can realise that we are not alone in feeling how we feel, thinking how we think! I love that, cause I really didn't know before! much love :)
Omg I feel like a failure I cant stick to anything I'm so scared of trying anything.. I never understood why, this makes so much sense.. Thank you so much
@Moon Soul Why claim to know what she is? Better to help her accept what failure she might actually have been/looked like so far. Which doesnt' mean it can all change.Self-acceptance is good, and visiting the furtherst down place is not bad, but a useful experience.
cause priya you understood the "hamster wheel" i guess you are from india kyuki me bhe hu india se its better to understand rather than living in slavery and disillusion right.
I enter "academic world" during inicial Bologna reform, I enter "world work" during 2008 economic crise...I was one of the best student, but no job for me, I tried during 8 years and I had to immigrate 15 thousand km from home. During years I ask myself why I have always the sensation if I was born ten years earlier, it would be easier. Now I know, I am a millennial 🤣 I thought it was only for kids born after 2000 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Anyway, I am persistent enough to somehow see some reward for my efforts. Be persistent, one day it pays off.
Wow, thank you Teal! Now it totally makes sense to me. I'm a 56 year old guitar playing hippie that's been asking WTF is up with these kids. I get it, and I feel total compassion for them now. PEACE and NAMASTE ♒🧘♂️🕉🌎🌌🎸🎶🎵💕💖 WTF? Am I a 56 year old Millenial? It almost seems like you're talking about me before I began my spiritual journey! 🤔👍🌎🌌
POW of milennials is that post-war generation got everything allmost for free or with little effort (compared to millenial hamster-wheel slavery). Cheap mortgages, low unemployment, university was surety of wealth, good carrier and bright future. They see them as spoilt generation criticizing millennials for lazyness and incompetence, while they are in hopeless "dead end" situation. Some pre-retirement people often complain, that this millennials has no compassion toward older people. But where was theirs compassion 15 years before, when they were bosses hiring millennials for low sallary (not enough for take mortgage and have a family) only to please (licking @ss of) company management and keep their well paid boss job, while having their cheap mortgage completely paid? And overpriced Wolkswagen New Beatle is symbol of this, often buyed by post-war generation to remember golden 60's. Times when they were protesting against rotten system, of which are they part now, and often pillars, fully profittig from it. They sold themselves to system for "thirty pieces of silver". And millennials feel that their parent raised them like slave for this rotten system.
NEW SOCIETY. LET'S DO THIS. It's the only thing I am ready to invest my personal energy into. Creating the soil in order to thrive. I.am.tired.of.coping.and.surviving.
hell yeah, me too! but how... the internet, the social media might actually help us connect worldwide with an energy like that. also I feel pressure that I as a millennial have to change everything. greets from austria
Yes come on ! And ide like to be a big part of it. I truely beleive that after having an man for himself attitude for years and realising that that is not always the best way to do it. Anyone who wants to join a facebook group ect, genuinely would like to make a difference. Put a ❤ if you interested in just a dicussion sharing ideas on helping the new world/new generation, if anyone sees this and sound like an interesting connection, might be something born from it.
“They see good parenting as the most important thing and so they will not have children.” This is so true. Like why would I give this pain to another human being?
This proves that millenials are cowards. Yes , there is pain, but are we willing to deal with it instead of pushing it down and distracting ourselves with dopamine hits? We often don't solve the emotional problems because it is hard and painfulm and it takes discipline and persistance to heal. Usually people change when they can't take it any more, or they end their lives. Also the poisonous world that we live in, the things that we eat and drink, the products we use, the air that we breathe are engineered to make us sick, stupid and weak. The globalists are trying to oppress the population and pőrogram their subconscious. Because of these things, it is very easy to loose faith in ourselves nad in the future of humanity. I think millennials were not raised to be able to tackel adversity easily and the world around is grimmer, and because of the internet, we know more about it, so it is harder to be blissfully ignorant and happier. This makes it harder to be successful.
they don"t want to grow up, they want to stay young so desperatly to not have to see the mess they created, look at jennifer lopez and all those old asses acting like they are 25.
It started with Gen X. Boomers want to believe they have it better due to their own hard work, not acknowledging that the economy has seriously changed since the 1970s. The cost of housing, education and medical treatment have all doubled, even tripled in some areas, whereas real wages for the average worker have stagnated..
@Sokaia Ulvehierte You know why we don't look at millennials as real adults?? Because we here at Generation X are kicking & screaming knowing that X is the older generation . This wasn't supposed to happen. The world was supposed to get better for X. Then 9/11 happened. Now were the older people & Covid 19 happens. I feel for your Generation; can't imagine your the adults now. Can't it even GET any worse..... Truly feel for you guys.
My son is a millennial. Thank you. I have realized in my awakening, that my parenting skills were horrible. I was trying to be a parent and going through my own issues. My son is struggling. It breaks my heart. This video was helpful.
You are such a good parent! You care! Believe me, not every parent realise that. At least try to help with words of support. My parents don't do even that.
Summertime Snow yeesss!!! Same here! They look at me like „why are you so upset?“ @camp1900 understanding and words of support are gold ❤️. And trying to take some weights of the shoulders. I wish I had that!
This is the best video about millennials that I've ever seen. THANK YOU for standing up for your generation, and mine. It's so refreshing to not be called lazy, entitled, etc. I love this so much.
I am a millenial who has been going through a spiritual awakening over the past year. Literally everything you have said is completely in alignment with how I was feeling about my life up until my ascension started. My parents are also deeply, deeply troubled people and definitely did not have proper coping mechanisms taught to them. They passed that onto me, and I have spent many years healing from my childhood trauma. Thank you for this video.
This will only make you stronger as we all get older. The counter intuitive nature of how us millennials grew up and were promised things-will actually get us the very things we want but much later unfortunately. With the added bonus of being impervious to absolute BS. And congrats on the awakening, I hope you’re able to integrate it with your worldview. :)
This is such a clear and thorough explanation of my generation and also things I couldn’t even begin to articulate to myself. I felt this but couldn’t put it into words until now. And I feel compassion for my fellow Millennials now too. Thank you Teal🙏🏽
As a millennial, I would love to hear your perspective on generation z. What is going on with them? Sometimes I am so proud of them and sometimes I am so worried and afraid for them. Every like.. 18 or so year old I have met lately is waaaayyyy smarter than I was at that age but also... Way more self destructive maybe?
They are smarter Because they grow up seeing much more than older generation - they perceive a lot more perspective and knowledge from all corners of life with fresh minds , the see beyond and they see solutions but they are tired of following the norm and systems to bring the change aka degrees and policies - that rips their energy and life work balance is no present when you are on savior mode . They want to live and be able to enjoy life and work, they don’t have that - everyday becomes a struggle .
This is such an eye-opening and very thorough explanation. I've never felt so understood before. Throughout the whole video I was like, ah, so that's why, now that makes sense, oh God I really wanna hug each and every fellow millennials that there is. Thank you so much Teal. Biggest squishiest hug for all millennials out there. We can do this!
I read “rich dad poor dad” and immediately quit my job to get one that had meaning and purpose for ME while starting my own business. I’ve started the healing process. This was a great video. Let’s TRASH THIS SYSTEM and CREATE A NEW WORLD. We ARE millennials and we won’t stop!
Finally someone who understands, when they say the word "teamwork" all I can think of is : what team? The team who set us up to this downward spiral and then expect us to succeed and then blame us when things didn't work? No thank you I rather do nothing than waste more time investing in this "team"
Not to mention how “teams” and “community” were buzzwords used by many in corporate America to fool many a millennials that they were a part of something... until it came time for a raise or anything resembling a work-life balance.
‘Dirt of your shoulder’ fellow millennial. We were brought up broken and the odds stacked against us, but we’re painstakingly fixing ourselves and beginning relearn patience, understanding and grace to raise the next generation.
This video touched something deep inside me. I’m a millennial and this perfectly describes how I feel about work and life values which failed me. I too feel a bit disillusioned with the world as it is and even cynical about future. This video was insightful in that it helped me understand what’s really behind the mechanisms driving my behaviour, thoughts and feelings (as well as why I feel like slave in workplace). Thank you Teal!
Because the elders failed us. They didn't want to fight and preserve what their predecessors left them yet expect us to lmao. Gen Z has it harder than millennials because of constant media brainwashing 24/7.
To da comment above" .. Your presents is tha golden gift.. don't sly by with thens or whens of time.. 2 life long promise (promises) thou follow by everyday and night.. create your own serenity prayer .. God would love to hear you give praise in prayers 🙏 🙌
@@darenology993 Hebrews 12:11. The Bible is an ancient source of support for “tough love.” The truth can hurt but it’s legit and to be in denial is just hurting yourself or others
Born in 1999 and still it resonates a lot with my current life, I'm deeply triggered by it & couldn't even hold back my tears at the end of the video.....! So much healing & shifting needed
Same, I think the difference with us gen z is that we saw all that go down and we decided not to try before we could get fucked over. Most of us are just trying to make money in a way that's least detrimental to our mental health. We literally don't care about attaining anything. We're basically just cruising along.
Where do we gen x’s fit into this equation? This has given me a whole new understanding and light on millennials. Millennials I will gladly work with you we can help each other! Thank you Teal!!! 🙏🏻
We felt the same way some of us Xers but lets all move forward with life 2020 and beyond in life nature fire air earth water ether .…find time to meditate find happiness .
This was SO GODDAMN GOOD! I swear i try to stop being rebellious and be constructive instead, but damn, not easy. I would LOVE your take on Gen Z, damn the kids have it so hard too. I mean, they look up the generation, see the adults milennials crying in a house on fire, the boomers being boomers, and just adopt straight up nihilism. They share memes about cheese waiting for the world to end and hopeless about being able to do anything about it. I really wish I can help them even though I feel like I can barely help myself.
Im a millennial and mother to a 3 year old and geeze your description of my life was accurate "crying in a house on fire" I worry about how this will effect my sons life all the time it sucks
I have a child and this is so true 😂😭 I apologize for before conscious me. He runs around doing Byron Katie turn arounds to me anytime I say something. I’m living with a damn real life mirror lol
Yeah, so many zoomers see nihilism as the only way of life it is freaking frightening. I've meet some zoomers that take this stuff to a whole new level such as denying the existence of intrinsic talent as just one of these nightmarish examples. I am also a zoomer. I believe we should embrace what is intrinsic about us as human beings. This message is also from a zoomer. ;) and havagoodday
What freaks me out is the fact that there will never be a chance to find a lifetime partner and afford children and house for me. We all know how releationships are today and alone its not possible, you need two workers in the household. This makes me frustrated and not involved in society. Its vicious circle. The choice I have: Work your ass of and get nothing or relax your time, just survive and have a somewhat good time without everything that the previous generation had. Born 1985
It's the standard of living that gone down; costs have gone up which is from inflation and/or demand, taxes have gone up, expenses have gone up, income has not risen at the same rate, free time has gone down with longer hours of work for basic needs or a decent income.
I know. There has to be a balance between career and social life. Requiring the entirety of your effort to be applied to your career, and thinking friends and family just happens doesn't work. So after learning how to be anti-social and sacrifice meaningful things for a career, which was really just supposed to provide financial support for higher priorities, becomes the priority. It's backwards. We have much more that we must use to define who we are, than what we do. What we do should be used as a means to be who we are. Not the other way around.
😭 I feel such a relief in my soul when I see how well Teal can understand everything. I am looking forward for the next video because the pandemic made me realize about some rage against my parents that I wasn't aware I had. And I thought I already did a long healing process😅😅 so I am quite lost.
Dream Catchers same here! I’ve got loving parents but their opinions and attitudes towards things makes me hate them sometimes, and the pandemic exacerbated that feeling. It was a big discovery. I’m understanding that we millenials are going through very similar experiences worldwide.
@@mmwwako thanks for your answer, yes I have got one of my parents who is very loving the other one... Not much. Not with bad intention thou. I just feel it created so much unneccessary insicurity and suffering... But on the other hand I also had to learn how to listen to my own spirit so... Maybe it happened for a reason. Best wishes for your journey! Just a quick question, english isn't my mothetongue 😅 she says the virus is "unpresidented"? I didnt understand that word. She means it has been created on purpose? I am just very curious about it now😅😃
yeah. sounds about right. millennial heat. i definitely understand that feeling like a slave, like every choice in your life has been taken from you. i can also see the millennial shadow at work in the modern activist groups. its become all about becoming the slave masters instead of ending the paradigm of slavery.
Speechless.... I have never felt so understood in my life; I didn't even understand any of this about myself. I wish everyone could see this, it would definitely help the world out a lot right now! Thank you so much ✨💖✨
So validating. So many zingers in here! Still finding my way at 35. Thanks for your good work Teal. 💪 Also you kept saying "previous generation" referring to boomers but dont skip Gen X - will be interesting to see them step up too.
I've long suspected the reason it's so hard for me to commit to new goals is because I can't shake the feeling that it's all for nothing in the end. That trauma runs deep, and at least I know I'm not alone in this struggle. Even when I manage to summon enough optimism and energy to get started, this idea that it could lead to nothing haunts me and undercuts me in ways I don't even realize right away. Now I know why I sometimes feel burned out before I've even started.
Teal this is so damn fantastic!!!! So clearly laid out and complete! I am currently working with my millennial children to help them heal their pain and use it to empower themselves and create change in this world. I also work with many millennials recovering from addiction and this will be a great tool to help them heal also. You are Amazing and a beautiful role model for you are proof that recovery from trauma is possible and its possible to create a beautiful life on the other side. Thank you so much
That is good to hear, and I wish you success. One thing I as an older millennial wish my parents got, and which it might help you to think about, is the fact that your children won't be ordinarily successful. There will still be wildly successful millennials, but in a weird way that will be easier than the kind of modest success a system with a strong middle class produces and taught you to aim for.
This is my life. I went to college for 5 and a half years, not because I wanted to, but because I thought it was the right thing to do. My parents even saved up a small college fund for me so I felt like I owed it to them. Now I have a degree that I haven't used and I don't plan to use. I've been working "in the hamster wheel" for 8 years now at 2 different mindless, dead end jobs. I'm going rogue in October. I'm gonna give my boss the finger and move to Los Angeles with no plan during the biggest global pandemic in over 100 years. Pray for me.
The shift is coming... This pandemic was a tool to bring about a great awakening for some before the light comes to change the earth into 5D. Have hope - change is coming and its coming for good
And you're parents were taught that they owed it to you to do that for you. You're being exploited by colleges, and liberal policies. Colleges extort tuition based on potential earning, instead of their expenses. The price of tuition increases the potential earnings, because of the need to pay off loans. Colleges see potential earnings increase, and increase the extortion proportion of their tuition. The education to train college students could literally be only a few hundred dollars. Students in less developed countries can pay as little as $300 dollars a year, because their educators are not extorting their students. So how much time have your educators spent convincing you, that other people are responsible for your economic difficulty, while they charge you outrageous sums, and make a killing off of you?
Ugh I was born in 1983 and fell for that bs too. I even took honors, ap classes, and college prep courses in high school. I then went on to earn my BA and MPA. All for what? I have nothing to show for it .
Thank you Teal. 🦢 This video validates pretty much my whole life. It also perfectly describes the Pluto in Scorpio generation. I tried to step out of this corrupt system in 2013 when I went through an identity crisis then. I know I'm outting myself as "crazy" but I even cut up my ID. It's felt painful to live through this gaslight. I know we were meant to collapse this system and rebuild a beautiful new world. I've felt so alone but I have faith that we're doing this together now. I love you. 🙏🌷 You've been a light 🕯️ in my life and one of the very best teachers I could have manifested.
Wow, I felt so understood when you talked about lack of social resources growing up. I was an only child living in a very rural area about 40 miles away from where I attended school. Never got to see friends regularly, never became good at keeping friends even. I experienced quite a lot of developmental delays going into adulthood. I also just graduated college a month before the pandemic
Generation Z here and this is very relatable. I completely agree that motivation and focus are out of the window if the payout is not worth the effort.
@@godofdogs6198 Gen Z is not the "social media generation" this is what they were lead to be by big corporations that want to capitalize in the young and disturb progress
@@jonunya1163 MySpace was largely Gen X young adults. Millennials hoped on for a while, then went to other sites. Similar to older Gen Z & Facebook, before they went to TikTok.
@@90skidcultist Gen X of which I am one, were the first generation to grow up with computers in their daily lives, although in my case from age 8 or 9 due to having a legit boffin electronics uncle. However we were also the pre-social media generation and remember growing up in the 1970s before the modern world as we know it came along.
This was a real game changer video for me. I feel empowered to have been seen by you as part of the millennial collective Teal! Thank you. This helps me to feel less alone. I feel I am finally seeing myself for who I am in this world, bit by bit. This is new as I previously thought I had to see myself through the eyes of others. I now realise that my viewpoint and contribution to the world is not only valid but vital! Also, I am realising that we are all powerful from within and our innate gifts and talents can show us our way to freedom. I am starting to see how talented I am and not through an inflated ego but a spiritual recognition of my deepest self. You have been a real guide to me over the last few years. Thank you
Im a millennial. Have listen to more than 50 videos of Teal, so far, this touch my heart so deeply. Teal, we need all your wisdom in Spanish language. How we can do it? I offer myself.
Wow, that was validating and painful to hear. She just described my life. Gives me motivation to commit more to my healing. (Yes, MY healing 😅. Because it´s nessesary.)
Strange thing is that pre-war generation had much harder life. Especially in europe, where WW2 started, and after that often totalitarian regimes occured. Anyway, europe was ruined and they had to rebuild it again. Thisi i really fucked up youth. Despite this was this genaration strong, never giving up, optimistic. I can't belive how they stayed optimistic after all bad things that happened them or were happenning around them.
Thankfully I slipped through the “duped” cracks and by doing 💯 percent the opposite of what every adult told me to do when I was younger. I don’t regret it. No student loans, my own business, and a permanent F-U smile to the former gens that basically tried set me up for failure. See the bigger picture and pave your OWN path.
Would you mind please sharing how you did it? Did you go the trade or tech skill route, that allowed you to start your own business? Oh, and did you start from lower working class or a higher class background?
Everyone used to be able to buy a house, Now everyone will only inherit a house and have their soul sucked by Rent until that day. Some are not even lucky enough to inherit a home they will never get ahead because Rent is like throwing piles of money into a fire. Everything in life should be rent to own, Nothing should have an infinite value!
@Bella Guzman So you are Rich? Because I don't know where you live but seriously a house and multiple properties? We are talking hundreds of thousands of Dollars! Do you still live with your parents? Do you go to college? How much working experience do you have? I have seen people work their whole lives and never own much.
@@koffinkat666 rich millenials are as aggravating as boomers. They act like nothing in society is wrong because they themselves are secure. They have no ability to empathize.
@@dolleyes5 I hear that, AKA the first comment on this post lol NO CLUE! Humans have a hard time understanding how diverse the range of income and social status truly is.
Exactly accurate.. I've reached the giving up stage. I thought I'd have guaranteed happiness if i followed an artistic passion in college. I landed a graphic design job in a typical 9-5 corporate environment. Art is my calling but i just didnt feel creative at a corporate desk job. So I quit my job right before covid hit, and have been dreaming of creating an at home business. I wanted to be using my time in quarantine to start my business but have now found that i lack the motivation and drive required to do so. I've been completely lost. Just feeling like a burn out loser. So yeah, cant wait for part 2!
Dude I feel this on so many levels myself, I was preparing for switching fields right before covid and now I'm just not even motivated to bother with it even though I desperately need money to survive right now. And the complete uncertainty about the future just makes me less eager to bother.
I feel you too! Quarantine killed my old job as a picture framer and now I'm trying to figure out how to build websites starting with zero skill and almost no motivation. I need a plan and results ASAP, I can't afford to take years to learn something from scratch but I don't see another option and it makes me feel hopeless.
I was told to be a lawyer, I became a lawyer but never got a job. I'm just finishing a post degree I thought would help getting a job. Now justice is a mess in my country, the offices are crashing, we are on the brink of civil war cuz our president is a super nazi arsehole. I was thinking of switching career to graphic design cut I like art but cant afford going to university again. I don't know what to do with my life actually.
You graphic/ web designers please check out the YT channel "the futur". They teach everything you ever wanted to know about how to start and run your own graphic design business for free by an award winning designer, Chris Do. Can't recommend it enough. They also talk about how to get through emotional and mental issues you tend to deal with running your own business. And check out the podcast "creative pep talk" too. I know I sound like a scammy advertiser but these resources have helped me, hopefully they'll help you too.
i also had the calling to quit my job but i didnt in the end. i think that is the spirit of the time, and there is nothing wrong with it.creating something new. so what works for right now is to keep the existing job at a 60% and spend the rest of the time creating an own business. i know that many quit or lost there jobs, but new opportunities will come, and as they come i would recommend sticking to office jobs for a transition period to your very own creation and even trying to change the office job to your needs, very often the people are more open to feedback then i thought. hope you guys stay fresh
I’m a millennial and all of my millennial friends are so stuck and find it difficult to move forward. The world may see us as lazy or “behind” but it’s truly not our fault. We were born in the era of failure and disaster and now we are expected to change and fix things. The generations before us will probably never understand. I always question pretty much any system and I feel most of us aren’t living our fullest potential, and sadly we may not even get to because I feel like we will drown or crumble at this point with the times we are living in.
I remember sitting at my desk in high school, trying to figure out my maths homework, looking through the window and thinking "Is this what life is all about?". I felt suffocated thinking about what's laid out ahead for me - another few years of this torment in high school & work my ass off to graduate -> go to uni -> work even harder for another few years -> graduate&get a diploma -> then get a job where I'll be doing the same things & work even harder, longer hours and basically have no personal life left for the rest of my life until I'm too old to work when I'll finally get a rest but will be too old&tired to do anything with my life at that point so I'll just basically wait until I die. Visually thinking about it at that point looked like an endless black tunnel where you see a tiny light at the end, but the more you walk the further and further away it seems.. :( I was born in 1989 in Bulgaria, literally 20 days after the fall of the Berlin Wall and the end of the Communist regime. For this reason I always felt a strong connection with Berlin even though I didn't go there until I was 23. My life started out surrounded by a loving family but growing up I witnessed my parents' marriage deteriorate. At the age of 12 my parents divorced and my mom and I moved to The Netherlands. I spent most of my teenage years feeling lonely and not fitting in, feeling depressed over our broken family, taking care of my little brother while our mom was away with work or going on dates, I had no self esteem and no motivation for studying but I pushed myself hard because I wanted to make my family proud. Around 20 I had some big heartbreaks and disappointments that I needed counselling for (including everything else) which included a major rift in my relationship with my mom and also a corruption of my innocent romantic notions of love and relationships when I found out guys only wanted sex with me with nothing else. After some rough years and dropping out of my uni degree, I picked myself back up, managed to boost my self esteem greatly and found a way to enjoy most of my 20s that followed. After graduating from my second uni degree in marketing I decided to follow my dreams and moved to the UK at 27 with plans to explore and experience everything the country has to offer. I'd chosen to do a media&marketing degree because it combined my creative nature (I love drawing, video and storytelling) with some tangible useful skills which I thought would make it easier for me to get a job. In reality I ended up working for a fast food place, washing greasy plates and scrubbing the floors for a year before I got hired at a job in 'marketing'. What I thought was my 'saviour job' at first turned out to be a toxic environment of high school mentality, unfair treatment of employees and unkept promises about a raise despite the constant increasing load of work, demands and expectations. Even though I was able to apply my creativity in parts, the pressure to perform fast and generate increase in sales was so high that there was nothing I enjoyed about the job anymore. I was stressed all the time, hated the environment and it constantly made me feel very bad about myself. On top of this I was earning barely over what I did at the fast food place and all I could afford as a living arrangement was a room in a shared house with strangers. I didn't feel comfortable and spent a few months going to viewings until I found a nice house I was planning to move to and then I was going to look for a new job and believed that then I would finally feel relieved, more relaxed and will be able to enjoy experiencing this country like I had planned to and worked so hard for. My parents were also advising me to buy a house so I was going to start working on that as well. But then the coronavirus happened. I was the first to be fired from work and my future landlady cancelled on me moving in to her house. Now I've been sitting at my boyfriend's place during the lockdown so I don't have to stay at the house, following world events, questioning mainstream media, reading about the new world order and the total control that's planned over all of us and wondering what's the point in trying anything anymore? I've spent my life studying hard, earning good grades, working hard, being a good, kind person, making a good impression... And for what? Now I'm here and I've got nothing. The world is going into chaos, being turned upside down and I am expected to get another job. I have ZERO motivation to put any effort for any company at this point. I despise the system, especially after everything I've heard and seen. I want to help bring it down and lay the foundations for the new world, but how when your family expect you to get a job so you remain part of the system and I don't want to disappoint or worry them.. The frustration is indescribable!
My heart extends to you ♡ that is certainly not easy ♡ You are ressiliant, you will have everything you want, keep your dreams alive! You may enjoy Elizabeth April, Naughty Beaver and or Aaron Doughty. Along with Teal Swan I turn to these channels frequently. Much love and light to you beautiful being. May you recognize your immense power ♡ The universe has your back ♡
for me, I'm just waiting for my time to end . I'm just watching my story and thinking hmmm what else is going to happen to me, I'm afraid that i will even be disappointed after my wasted life after death
@@AnasQiblawi I've come to the conclusion source is insatiable..... so being unsatisfied would part of our nature -_- ugh feeling pretty low atm. So much to work thru, so many emotions to process from my past, yet all while having to "function" in the now
Ooooh, you are my soulmate💜. I am happy just from nature and my husband. When birds are signing I feel alive, nothing else is important. Just these moments when you are happy. I am sending you full heart of love.
I always wondered what happened and what was wrong with me. I did follow everything I was told to do... school got good grades, jobs, uni etc etc. I ended up way behind to those who broke that path and got jobs. This explains it all so well thank you Teal. You explain to me why in my mid 30s I'm only just accepting this. I remind myself I'm here to bring change. There's been times I questioned why my soul came here because I never belonged. But now I get it. I have always had so much anger and this explains why to me perfectly. I completely distrust. It's like you're explaining me.
Literally just talking about and searching the different generations with my daughter at midnight last night!! Teal... get outta my brain. 😂 collective consciousness is a trip
YOU are all young. YOU are all worthy human beings. Teal, thank you for caring about this generation. Keep going everyone here, I know you can be anything you desire. Do not give up. I believe in you.
Wow, Teal. This is SPOT ON. And so thorough! I appreciate the direct and humorous way that you address your audience. Thank you for speaking to this worldview that I and many other millennials experience and bringing light to the shadows. I'm sending this to my parents haha. Looking forward to watching your video about how to heal the wound.
I am a Gen Xer who feels one of my roles has been to/will continue to be working to heal misunderstandings between generations and, even more, to help to empower the Millenials who I think are incredible. This video is AWESOME. I can't say how much I admire your work, Teal, and how happy I am you made this video and are addressing this very serious issue. I'll close by saying I am VERY excited for next week's video! Oh, and if you are a Millenial reading this, one of the reasons I admire you is that in spite of what I think was a pretty shitty hand you were dealt, you continually amaze me with your can-do attitude. My fellow Gen Xers were/are actually much more entitled than you and have spent a lot of our time whining about how shitty things are. Now, I want to end positively, and say I think Gen X can still redeem itself, but that requires we deal with our wounds and start HEARING the Millenials and helping to guide them and Gen Z as responsible adults.
Thank you 🙏🏼😊 That was beautifully written. As a millennial, I wish I could get that help that you have to offer. And I hope many will feel understood and heal with your assistance. 😊 Much love.
Thanks Teal, as a parent I love the insights you share, they totally confirm and inform how I see the Millenials. And me... So much blame is put on them and their behaviours, and I keep pushing the mirror into people's faces, as in "those kids didn't raise themselves....". Your broader view really opened my eyes to more of the underlying mechanisms, thank you! 👍❤
Wow! My life in a nutshell. Covid-19 is legit my Saturn return too (born in 91). Not what I had in mind whatsoever 🙃 I make my own rules and loathe authority and any form of long term commitment, to the point that I even always buy my phones up front 😄 I’ve always felt like a slave to the system and that I am sort of destined for failure, trapped no matter which way I choose to go. Thank you for making this! Really made me feel a bit better and understood during this time.
Im at my last year of saturn return in capricorn, i have that Saturn uranus neptune nasty conjunct right in the 4th house of family. Family is still waiting for me to succeed and save them from financial insecurity. Till now I tried everything and nothing worked out. I am a lawyer and I'm just finishing a post degree I did cuz I thought It would help me get a job. I thought in 2020 i would get my brand new diploma and get a job and hell would pass along with the saturn return. Then came the pandemic... Justice is closed, the courts are closed, offices are crashing, clients have no money for food so they cant pay for a lawyer to defend them against injustice either. Government are letting people die like flies, the President says it's just a little flu and went enjoying jet ski trip yesterday. He is using the pandemic to force a Civil war. I'm from Brazil actually. Well I never wanted to be a lawyer, I did it cuz my mother told me to. Now it's like a zombie apocalypse without the zombies haha. I'm jobless for years cuz family shamed me to depression when i got a convenience store job, they said: you are a lawyer, dont want you to be seen by the neighbors working on a convenience store, what a shame. They also go: when will you get a lawyer job, you're just so useless. Now they are frustrated I cant afford a better life for them, they say everything is on their back and they cant count on me. Well that's how life is. Life sucks. I keep studying though cuz I don't know what else to do with my life. I'm considering searching for some online job but I'm certain everybody is doing this right now, but I try it anyway. And I stopped myself from drawing cuz I felt laziness shame, art is lazy stuff, I cannot spend time on it, I thought. Now I didn't do what I wanted and what I did worth nothing haha. I decided not to have kids since my teen years, I wont put children in the world without resources and knowing they wont have much chances in life.
So many points in here that I relate to. Thank you Teal! I have a lot of insight to work with in order to find a clearer direction for my life. I have been so frustrated at how hard I’ve worked to get absolutely nowhere, I’m nearly ready to give up putting effort into anything anymore. (Except my relationship with my children - which you mentioned!) We do feel cheated by our parents generation and set up for failure, then blamed for not achieving what they have. Thank you for bringing this into my awareness!
I was born in 1978, I can identify with so much of this. Well done. And I love when you laugh while making points, I relate to this as well. Keep up the fine work Dear!
I didn't expect to resonate with this so hard, it made me a bit emotional. I realized I've been unconsciously fighting the "slave" dynamic as long as I can remember. I'm looking forward to next week's video on healing these wounds.
Because she is a victim of her own created matrix Trick question ! We all jumped on the parent train And guess what many people didn’t get what was promised Most of us did Perception Victims
I've thought our system of financial success was heavily flawed for millennials for a long time now, but didn't realize others thought the same. Thank you for reaffirming that I wasn't just imagining it and "making excuses" because I'm "lazy". Your videos are truly valuable to me.
I was born in 79, but all of this applies to me. I feel the solidarity. 🖤 I'm distrusting and burnt out, but I'm still getting played and I can't get off this terrible game of life ride. I hate it. I'm over it, but I don't know how to get a better, happier life. Definitely powerless feeling. This is like a validating hug. I also cried.
I can’t express to you how validating this wisdom is. You have really touched me through this and it brings joyful tears to my eyes. Thank you Teal Swan 🧡

It blew my mind💣 Everything just makes more sense now🥰 I've been working hard for years to "fix" myself and understand why I had to go through all that stuff... Still, this is an angle that has NEVER EVER come up!! Thank you Teal, for sharing this bigger picture💓🧡💛💚💙💜
It's amazing, it goes on and on.
A lot of us.
She is so right! I used to work with hundreds of millennials. They are powerful and here to help Earth... and most of them know it! Our job is to provide love and encouragement. 💖💖💖
I'm a boomer and I feel and have experienced everything she is saying. Wow
Teal, thank you. You hit me with this. I am 34 now, born in 1986. I believed my parents, I gave my best to satisfy them, I was a good student and I failed to gain success. No payoff at all. I have been seriously duped. Now I feel that I need to express myself and to build a new world on my own. But, I didn't know I was a Millennial until now, haha! Thank you so much. This is empowering.

I am literally crying 😭😭😭!! I feel so stuck in life right now & have been contemplating unthinkable things. I happened to check your channel for something to help and saw you uploaded this just an hour ago!!! Thank you so much!!
The whole time watching this, I felt understood and had things thrown into perspective that I didnt even understand myself, but makes perfect sense when you connect the dots. Whole time I'm like "okay how do I fix this" because I really dont want to give up 😭.
Cant wait for part 2 with the solution. In the meantime, using this quarantine time to continue working on myself. Thank you so much for your content and all that you do.
@Brenda Tapia I completely understand and hope you're able to cultivate the healing & process you need in order to thrive.
I have been so worried because I was on and off the fence of giving up for awhile now. Since October 2019 really. I told myself I would at least give therapy a try before I called it quits, and therapy just wasn't helping. It's more like a vent session with no real objective or structure to handling the things I talk about. I just feel like I'm "whining" after them. I knew I had things I needed to work on internally but didnt know where to start, other than taking control of my my health & my skills for creating a side business. Teal Swan's channel has actually helped more than my therapy sessions and is the only reason I haven't given up yet. She helps you tackle the roots of your struggles and provides structure & things to work on to overcome trauma or patterns that may be holding you back. I wish I found her ages ago!! But still grateful of the timing and that I was able to find her while I still have the chance to turn things around.
Hang in there
We got this now
Help is on the way
Self-love is where it starts
You’re not alone!!! Don’t give up there are so many people feeling the same way ❤️

I was in a calming state prior to watching this.... and the more she talked I just felt like all my subconscious feelings I’ve pushed down we’re resurfacing and I felt my stomach in my mouth wanted to tears up....this, is why part of us millennial turn to spirituality, find ourselves, the truth and peace within ourselves, or else we go crazy
And why we will be such great parents!
Born in 1991, and it felt like Teal was speaking directly to me. I recognize everything and I feel a deep sadness and disappointment in society. Thank you for showing us the blind spots, so we can heal as a group collective and claim our best life. ♥️

@@theancientandreios7417 damn i was hoping not to be a millenial kid, i was born in the 80s! But i get her video and her message
Spot on! As a boomer, this is the best explanation of millennials I’ve ever heard to date. I feel much more generosity towards that generation, and wonder why I was so blind to what they’ve been going through. Thank you for this!!
I wish you were my boomer parents 😢
I want to add that a lot of us felt like slaves to a pointless system long before we ever got out of school. Ask any millennial, whether an A student, the center of attention, or a dropout, we all HATED the public school system. It was built to make factory workers, the kind of jobs that don't exist anymore, and even without knowing that we knew what we were doing was pointless. It was all just busy work to try and keep us from doing anything we actually wanted, and most of us got burnt out on life long before we ever realized how fucked we were at making a living on top of that.
Chrome factsssss former A student here...I thought I was going to be taking as many classes as possible. Senior year came around and I took two free periods lmfao
I always felt school was just another way of having more trained thoughts and beliefs shoved down my throat. I did what I needed to make it through and get out, that was it. Plus being forced to go to college just so I could make a life I NEVER wanted. Years of my life I will never get back. It would have been nice for someone somewhere along the line ask, "what are your real needs."
I was burnt out by 18 and a D student because I hated school and knew it was a waste if time. I wanted to be an actress, and no one supported me or believefi could do it so I was forced to go to school and wasted my time doing so. it led to major depression, suicide attempts, addictions and being completely lost and stuck for almost a decade.
I dropped out as soon as I could at 16 because I was an illegal immigrant (brought here very young by my parents, who overstayed their visa for hope of a better life here). So being illegal I was always told I couldn’t go to college and my father left when I was 9. My mom was a single mom raising two kids and working two jobs so I barely saw her and when I did, she was never validating my emotions or even knew the first thing about me. All she did was fricken criticize me for doing something wrong and then getting impatient and doing things for me (never teaching me independence or self esteem). Not to mention the only memories I have of my father are the screaming matches he had with my mom. And we were still poor so I just grew up hopeless and depressed and rebelled in middle school. I found a group of friends who were, skaters, goths, and metalheads, and we’d go to shows and mosh because it was the only emotional outlet we had. It’s sad because before I gave up completely in school, I was very good at writing, drawing, history, etc. but I just felt so abysmally hopeless for most of my life I never honed many of my talents. It’s only now (at 30) that I’m finally healing from my childhood thanks to insight from Teal and others.
Smokey Dutchess School is definitely designed to brainwash. yeah fr would have been nice if my mom saw me as a person with my own unique needs instead of bitching and criticizing me nonstop for not being more like her. It would have been lovely if my aunts didn’t body shame me into an eating disorder for calling me fat when I didn’t even notice or care about my body image before all that. They made me feel like there was something wrong with me for being myself. What a wonderful life.
Born in 1963 (technically the tail end of the boomers, but my parents are also technically boomers)...I received these same “carrot/stick” messages growing up in the 70’s. I followed the same false paths to success - 2 masters degrees, no solid career, do not own a house. My parents? No college degrees, able to start and run a business - now retired and own their house.
What millenials are facing truly began decades ago with the tail end of the boomers, Gen X-Y’s too...basically any child raised by a boomer is in this same boat.
You are not alone in feeling this way.
Same here for me!!! That carrot stick situation and single parent house hold 🤪 in generation X years 🤣🤣🤣
boomers will not be remembered fondly.
Tigress in thigh high boots - I hear you Tigress...I think what a fraction of Gen X+Y kids experienced was more widespread for millenials, and therefore more representative of that generation...but the cracks started back in the 70’s...I did not have daily structure outside of school - they called us “latch-key kids” we came home to an empty house and also were fed Mac+Cheese, Pizza and McDonalds because our Boomer parents were both working and had no time for us. So there are some of us in our 40’s and 50’s who can relate and who feel ripped off and duped, who did “everything right” only to end up being screwed by the system, economy, or government, etc.
You are not alone!
Random Insights totally agree I am 50 and either had no structure at home, or there was too much. No balance at all and the keys around the neck were my my neckless for many year!
We need to get into the govt heads. free Education is a right and a privilege and the world needs to stop seeing it as another way to make a buck....I have a 19yr old Apprentice and all he wants is to get stoned...because he can't afford uni and his parents wont pay...so the kid is stuck on the treadmill. ..I do my best to help but FREE EDUCATION IS REQUIRED AND NOW...thanks for thumbs up
I've never once in my life heard someone so... Respectfully & without judgment, hatred, or vitriol directed toward me, describe what I'm realizing so accurately is my actual experience. I can hardly do this for myself through all the veils I've been conditioned into seeing through, in fact I'm not sure I could from the inside perspective if I tried. This was honestly healing to listen to, just to hear my pain being acknowledged in a way every single person in my entire life has tried to gaslight away. That hits different 🥲 Thank you, Teal 🧡
Because I also think she's an older millennial I believe her age is towards xennial. So she really does get it
And your comment also hits me different. Thank you to you too.
Bless your heart, YoU are on the right track 💞 I wish my little brother was where you are

Also millennial here. The goal of giving participation medals was to protect kids from the pain of failure. Yes it was a stupid idea but the intention behind it was good. If you look at the big picture, you'll be able to understand the older generations (and their intentions) better. After all, understanding is what we all long for, don't we?
As a millennial from Eastern Europe I never experienced any participation medals (is that an American thing?)...just a demand to always succeed. The environment was more of a you are not competing against anyone because everyone !should! be succeeding or face being rejected by default.
Those medals are not a bad thing. I don't think that this place should be a competitive one. :(
@@laumallamandra1847 it seems like eastern Europe is more traditional.
@@yanzi8543 I do not think we are in any way shape or form better suited for competition though as we have been taught that we are never good enough - we may know 5 languages but that person over there with 1 - he`s the man, because he was born somewhere else...kind of vibe :D
You’re so insightful. And spot on! I’m a millennial still living @ my parents house because it’s almost impossible to live on your own if you’re working a job that you enjoy (but can’t necessarily make a living at.). I tried the college>cubicle @ a big corporation with decent pay type job but I HATED it. I hated waking up in the morn. I eventually found that doing drugs helped the day go by. Plus that was when opioids were ABUNDANT and handed out like candy. I eventually spiraled and lost everything, and had to redevelop my life. This included finding a job that I enjoyed. I realized I was very good at being a florist, but it doesn’t pay the greatest and health insurance who? What’s that? You hit the nail on the head when u said “they e become committed to not committing.” Thats like my line: “I don’t want to commit to that” because I got tired of friends getting mad at me for making plans a month in advance and when it came to the day and I wasn’t feeling in the mood I would bail and they got angry. I actually lost a LOT of friends. Bitches be bitches. So it’s less hassle for me to NOT commit, that way if I’m not feelin it when I wake up that day, I can get off scot free.
Lol I can’t wait to hear u explain how today’s kids, with their Millennial Parents raising them will grow up like.....with their cell phones, over abundance of choices and “inclusion,” internet/info at their fingertips, competitionless environments, expected instant gratification, “outrage culture” is the “new norm,” 24 hour news cycle, Fortnite addicted, skyrocketing childhood anxiety & depression riddled kids with parents scared to discipline or else “they’ll be judged by their peers” or put on blast on social media.
I'm 3 weeks off methadone after a 2-1/2 year daily heroin habbit so I can relate quite a bit to some of your story. I've done nothing with my life but work for the last 13 years in factory environment while living at home so money wasn't a problem. I was doing everything considered "right" but you start to realize things aren't so great when you rather be dead. Compounded by the fact the rest of society want you in jail because of a coping mechanism you have developed. "go to school - get a job" was my parents motto. Maybe "Make a connection - find a reason to live" might have been a better one.

POW of milennials is that post-war generation got everything allmost for free or with little effort (compared to millenial hamster-wheel slavery). Cheap mortgages, low unemployment, university was surety of wealth, good carrier and bright future. They see them as spoilt generation criticizing millennials for lazyness and incompetence, while they are in hopeless "dead end" situation.
Some pre-retirement people often complain, that this millennials has no compassion toward older people. But where was theirs compassion 15 years before, when they were bosses hiring millennials for low sallary (not enough for take mortgage and have a family) only to please (licking @ss of) company management and keep their well paid boss job, while having their cheap mortgage completely paid?
And overpriced Wolkswagen New Beatle is symbol of this, often buyed by post-war generation to remember golden 60's. Times when they were protesting against rotten system, of which are they part now, and often pillars, fully profittig from it. They sold themselves to system for "thirty pieces of silver". And millennials feel that their parent raised them like slave for this rotten system.
NEW SOCIETY. LET'S DO THIS.

Anyone who wants to join a facebook group ect, genuinely would like to make a difference. Put a ❤ if you interested in just a dicussion sharing ideas on helping the new world/new generation, if anyone sees this and sound like an interesting connection, might be something born from it.
“They see good parenting as the most important thing and so they will not have children.” This is so true. Like why would I give this pain to another human being?
AH I found it. It's at 18:00
This proves that millenials are cowards. Yes , there is pain, but are we willing to deal with it instead of pushing it down and distracting ourselves with dopamine hits?
We often don't solve the emotional problems because it is hard and painfulm and it takes discipline and persistance to heal. Usually people change when they can't take it any more, or they end their lives.
Also the poisonous world that we live in, the things that we eat and drink, the products we use, the air that we breathe are engineered to make us sick, stupid and weak. The globalists are trying to oppress the population and pőrogram their subconscious. Because of these things, it is very easy to loose faith in ourselves nad in the future of humanity.
I think millennials were not raised to be able to tackel adversity easily and the world around is grimmer, and because of the internet, we know more about it, so it is harder to be blissfully ignorant and happier. This makes it harder to be successful.
This is how I felt, but I'm 50ish
@@melissavalentine9771I think most of the things she mentions are also relevant for Gen X too…
@@aporia82maybe some of you. NOT my parents. Thats for sure
Also the older generations treat us like we are not real adults.
they don"t want to grow up, they want to stay young so desperatly to not have to see the mess they created, look at jennifer lopez and all those old asses acting like they are 25.
I agree, I was told by an older person that I’m not grown until I’m 30. 🥴
It started with Gen X. Boomers want to believe they have it better due to their own hard work, not acknowledging that the economy has seriously changed since the 1970s. The cost of housing, education and medical treatment have all doubled, even tripled in some areas, whereas real wages for the average worker have stagnated..
@Sokaia Ulvehierte
You know why we don't look at millennials as real adults??
Because we here at Generation X are kicking & screaming knowing that X is the older generation . This wasn't supposed to happen.
The world was supposed to get better for X. Then 9/11 happened. Now were the older people & Covid 19 happens.

Can't it even GET any worse.....
Truly feel for you guys.

My son is a millennial. Thank you. I have realized in my awakening, that my parenting skills were horrible. I was trying to be a parent and going through my own issues. My son is struggling. It breaks my heart. This video was helpful.
Read the books of Alice Miller which resonates very much with what Teal says.
You are such a good parent! You care! Believe me, not every parent realise that. At least try to help with words of support. My parents don't do even that.
Summertime Snow yeesss!!! Same here! They look at me like „why are you so upset?“ @camp1900 understanding and words of support are gold ❤️. And trying to take some weights of the shoulders. I wish I had that!
@@frauketeaspoon my hugs to you :)
Same here, camp1900... I have to milennials sons...
This is the best video about millennials that I've ever seen. THANK YOU for standing up for your generation, and mine. It's so refreshing to not be called lazy, entitled, etc. I love this so much.
I am a millenial who has been going through a spiritual awakening over the past year. Literally everything you have said is completely in alignment with how I was feeling about my life up until my ascension started. My parents are also deeply, deeply troubled people and definitely did not have proper coping mechanisms taught to them. They passed that onto me, and I have spent many years healing from my childhood trauma. Thank you for this video.
This will only make you stronger as we all get older. The counter intuitive nature of how us millennials grew up and were promised things-will actually get us the very things we want but much later unfortunately.
With the added bonus of being impervious to absolute BS.
And congrats on the awakening, I hope you’re able to integrate it with your worldview. :)
I'm going through the same!
This is such a clear and thorough explanation of my generation and also things I couldn’t even begin to articulate to myself. I felt this but couldn’t put it into words until now. And I feel compassion for my fellow Millennials now too. Thank you Teal🙏🏽
As a millennial, I would love to hear your perspective on generation z. What is going on with them? Sometimes I am so proud of them and sometimes I am so worried and afraid for them. Every like.. 18 or so year old I have met lately is waaaayyyy smarter than I was at that age but also... Way more self destructive maybe?
I agree
They are smarter Because they grow up seeing much more than older generation - they perceive a lot more perspective and knowledge from all corners of life with fresh minds , the see beyond and they see solutions but they are tired of following the norm and systems to bring the change aka degrees and policies - that rips their energy and life work balance is no present when you are on savior mode . They want to live and be able to enjoy life and work, they don’t have that - everyday becomes a struggle .
1994 here, you give us justice 😃You really do get us 💜💜💜💜
This is such an eye-opening and very thorough explanation. I've never felt so understood before. Throughout the whole video I was like, ah, so that's why, now that makes sense, oh God I really wanna hug each and every fellow millennials that there is. Thank you so much Teal.
Biggest squishiest hug for all millennials out there. We can do this!
I read “rich dad poor dad” and immediately quit my job to get one that had meaning and purpose for ME while starting my own business. I’ve started the healing process. This was a great video. Let’s TRASH THIS SYSTEM and CREATE A NEW WORLD. We ARE millennials and we won’t stop!
Yes, my sentiments exactly.
Many Millennials expect a Middle Class lifestyle yet fail to adhere to a Middle Class value system.
Me too😂
This video should be shown in classrooms, whenever school's open up, after the biggest global power grab in human history.
The biggest power grabs happened in 1912 (establishment of Fed Reserve) and in the 40s when Germany lost W W 2.
AHAHAHA what type of weed are you on
Finally someone who understands, when they say the word "teamwork" all I can think of is : what team? The team who set us up to this downward spiral and then expect us to succeed and then blame us when things didn't work?
No thank you I rather do nothing than waste more time investing in this "team"
Not to mention how “teams” and “community” were buzzwords used by many in corporate America to fool many a millennials that they were a part of something... until it came time for a raise or anything resembling a work-life balance.

This video touched something deep inside me. I’m a millennial and this perfectly describes how I feel about work and life values which failed me. I too feel a bit disillusioned with the world as it is and even cynical about future. This video was insightful in that it helped me understand what’s really behind the mechanisms driving my behaviour, thoughts and feelings (as well as why I feel like slave in workplace).

I mean, they look up the generation, see the adults milennials crying in a house on fire, the boomers being boomers, and just adopt straight up nihilism. They share memes about cheese waiting for the world to end and hopeless about being able to do anything about it. I really wish I can help them even though I feel like I can barely help myself.

Yeah, so many zoomers see nihilism as the only way of life it is freaking frightening. I've meet some zoomers that take this stuff to a whole new level such as denying the existence of intrinsic talent as just one of these nightmarish examples. I am also a zoomer. I believe we should embrace what is intrinsic about us as human beings. This message is also from a zoomer. ;) and havagoodday
When you said "because I said so" my blood boiled over 😂😅
Same! Lol
PTSD for me at it's best lol. It wouldnt be good for anyone to tell me that today 😂
What freaks me out is the fact that there will never be a chance to find a lifetime partner and afford children and house for me. We all know how releationships are today and alone its not possible, you need two workers in the household. This makes me frustrated and not involved in society. Its vicious circle.
The choice I have: Work your ass of and get nothing or relax your time, just survive and have a somewhat good time without everything that the previous generation had.
Born 1985
There is a third option. By pass their system and set yourself up for the next. We all know it’s unsustainable, so go “rogue”
It's the standard of living that gone down; costs have gone up which is from inflation and/or demand, taxes have gone up, expenses have gone up, income has not risen at the same rate, free time has gone down with longer hours of work for basic needs or a decent income.
I know. There has to be a balance between career and social life. Requiring the entirety of your effort to be applied to your career, and thinking friends and family just happens doesn't work. So after learning how to be anti-social and sacrifice meaningful things for a career, which was really just supposed to provide financial support for higher priorities, becomes the priority. It's backwards. We have much more that we must use to define who we are, than what we do. What we do should be used as a means to be who we are. Not the other way around.
😭 I feel such a relief in my soul when I see how well Teal can understand everything.

I've long suspected the reason it's so hard for me to commit to new goals is because I can't shake the feeling that it's all for nothing in the end. That trauma runs deep, and at least I know I'm not alone in this struggle.

I'm in between generations. As a father to millennials, I'm very interested in this topic and want to be part of creating a bright future for them.
That is good to hear, and I wish you success.
One thing I as an older millennial wish my parents got, and which it might help you to think about, is the fact that your children won't be ordinarily successful. There will still be wildly successful millennials, but in a weird way that will be easier than the kind of modest success a system with a strong middle class produces and taught you to aim for.

I've been working "in the hamster wheel" for 8 years now at 2 different mindless, dead end jobs. I'm going rogue in October.

And you're parents were taught that they owed it to you to do that for you. You're being exploited by colleges, and liberal policies. Colleges extort tuition based on potential earning, instead of their expenses. The price of tuition increases the potential earnings, because of the need to pay off loans. Colleges see potential earnings increase, and increase the extortion proportion of their tuition. The education to train college students could literally be only a few hundred dollars. Students in less developed countries can pay as little as $300 dollars a year, because their educators are not extorting their students. So how much time have your educators spent convincing you, that other people are responsible for your economic difficulty, while they charge you outrageous sums, and make a killing off of you?
Good luck 🌹✨
so… what did you do
Born in 1983 and I fell hard for the you have to go to college to be successful. If I could go back, I would have never wasted my time and money.

Thank you Teal. 🦢 This video validates pretty much my whole life. It also perfectly describes the Pluto in Scorpio generation. I tried to step out of this corrupt system in 2013 when I went through an identity crisis then. I know I'm outting myself as "crazy" but I even cut up my ID. It's felt painful to live through this gaslight. I know we were meant to collapse this system and rebuild a beautiful new world.

Wow, I felt so understood when you talked about lack of social resources growing up. I was an only child living in a very rural area about 40 miles away from where I attended school. Never got to see friends regularly, never became good at keeping friends even. I experienced quite a lot of developmental delays going into adulthood. I also just graduated college a month before the pandemic

OMG I'd forgotten about that movie. It was one of my favorites!
Thankfully I slipped through the “duped” cracks and by doing 💯 percent the opposite of what every adult told me to do when I was younger. I don’t regret it. No student loans, my own business, and a permanent F-U smile to the former gens that basically tried set me up for failure. See the bigger picture and pave your OWN path.
Would you mind please sharing how you did it? Did you go the trade or tech skill route, that allowed you to start your own business? Oh, and did you start from lower working class or a higher class background?
Everyone used to be able to buy a house, Now everyone will only inherit a house and have their soul sucked by Rent until that day. Some are not even lucky enough to inherit a home they will never get ahead because Rent is like throwing piles of money into a fire. Everything in life should be rent to own, Nothing should have an infinite value!
@Bella Guzman You're simply from a different world than me. Because that is nowhere in my future AT ALL
@Bella Guzman So you are Rich? Because I don't know where you live but seriously a house and multiple properties? We are talking hundreds of thousands of Dollars! Do you still live with your parents? Do you go to college? How much working experience do you have? I have seen people work their whole lives and never own much.
@@koffinkat666 rich millenials are as aggravating as boomers. They act like nothing in society is wrong because they themselves are secure. They have no ability to empathize.
@@dolleyes5 I hear that, AKA the first comment on this post lol NO CLUE! Humans have a hard time understanding how diverse the range of income and social status truly is.
Exactly accurate.. I've reached the giving up stage. I thought I'd have guaranteed happiness if i followed an artistic passion in college. I landed a graphic design job in a typical 9-5 corporate environment. Art is my calling but i just didnt feel creative at a corporate desk job. So I quit my job right before covid hit, and have been dreaming of creating an at home business. I wanted to be using my time in quarantine to start my business but have now found that i lack the motivation and drive required to do so. I've been completely lost. Just feeling like a burn out loser. So yeah, cant wait for part 2!
Dude I feel this on so many levels myself, I was preparing for switching fields right before covid and now I'm just not even motivated to bother with it even though I desperately need money to survive right now. And the complete uncertainty about the future just makes me less eager to bother.
I feel you too! Quarantine killed my old job as a picture framer and now I'm trying to figure out how to build websites starting with zero skill and almost no motivation. I need a plan and results ASAP, I can't afford to take years to learn something from scratch but I don't see another option and it makes me feel hopeless.
I was told to be a lawyer, I became a lawyer but never got a job. I'm just finishing a post degree I thought would help getting a job. Now justice is a mess in my country, the offices are crashing, we are on the brink of civil war cuz our president is a super nazi arsehole. I was thinking of switching career to graphic design cut I like art but cant afford going to university again. I don't know what to do with my life actually.
You graphic/ web designers please check out the YT channel "the futur". They teach everything you ever wanted to know about how to start and run your own graphic design business for free by an award winning designer, Chris Do. Can't recommend it enough. They also talk about how to get through emotional and mental issues you tend to deal with running your own business. And check out the podcast "creative pep talk" too.
I know I sound like a scammy advertiser but these resources have helped me, hopefully they'll help you too.
i also had the calling to quit my job but i didnt in the end. i think that is the spirit of the time, and there is nothing wrong with it.creating something new. so what works for right now is to keep the existing job at a 60% and spend the rest of the time creating an own business. i know that many quit or lost there jobs, but new opportunities will come, and as they come i would recommend sticking to office jobs for a transition period to your very own creation and even trying to change the office job to your needs, very often the people are more open to feedback then i thought. hope you guys stay fresh
I’m a millennial and all of my millennial friends are so stuck and find it difficult to move forward. The world may see us as lazy or “behind” but it’s truly not our fault. We were born in the era of failure and disaster and now we are expected to change and fix things. The generations before us will probably never understand. I always question pretty much any system and I feel most of us aren’t living our fullest potential, and sadly we may not even get to because I feel like we will drown or crumble at this point with the times we are living in.
Time for revolution
I think it actually makes some of y'all Great! That as she said y'all will make some awesome changes

I remember sitting at my desk in high school, trying to figure out my maths homework, looking through the window and thinking "Is this what life is all about?". I felt suffocated thinking about what's laid out ahead for me - another few years of this torment in high school & work my ass off to graduate -> go to uni -> work even harder for another few years -> graduate&get a diploma -> then get a job where I'll be doing the same things & work even harder, longer hours and basically have no personal life left for the rest of my life until I'm too old to work when I'll finally get a rest but will be too old&tired to do anything with my life at that point so I'll just basically wait until I die. Visually thinking about it at that point looked like an endless black tunnel where you see a tiny light at the end, but the more you walk the further and further away it seems.. :(
I was born in 1989 in Bulgaria, literally 20 days after the fall of the Berlin Wall and the end of the Communist regime. For this reason I always felt a strong connection with Berlin even though I didn't go there until I was 23. My life started out surrounded by a loving family but growing up I witnessed my parents' marriage deteriorate. At the age of 12 my parents divorced and my mom and I moved to The Netherlands. I spent most of my teenage years feeling lonely and not fitting in, feeling depressed over our broken family, taking care of my little brother while our mom was away with work or going on dates, I had no self esteem and no motivation for studying but I pushed myself hard because I wanted to make my family proud. Around 20 I had some big heartbreaks and disappointments that I needed counselling for (including everything else) which included a major rift in my relationship with my mom and also a corruption of my innocent romantic notions of love and relationships when I found out guys only wanted sex with me with nothing else. After some rough years and dropping out of my uni degree, I picked myself back up, managed to boost my self esteem greatly and found a way to enjoy most of my 20s that followed.
After graduating from my second uni degree in marketing I decided to follow my dreams and moved to the UK at 27 with plans to explore and experience everything the country has to offer. I'd chosen to do a media&marketing degree because it combined my creative nature (I love drawing, video and storytelling) with some tangible useful skills which I thought would make it easier for me to get a job. In reality I ended up working for a fast food place, washing greasy plates and scrubbing the floors for a year before I got hired at a job in 'marketing'. What I thought was my 'saviour job' at first turned out to be a toxic environment of high school mentality, unfair treatment of employees and unkept promises about a raise despite the constant increasing load of work, demands and expectations. Even though I was able to apply my creativity in parts, the pressure to perform fast and generate increase in sales was so high that there was nothing I enjoyed about the job anymore. I was stressed all the time, hated the environment and it constantly made me feel very bad about myself. On top of this I was earning barely over what I did at the fast food place and all I could afford as a living arrangement was a room in a shared house with strangers. I didn't feel comfortable and spent a few months going to viewings until I found a nice house I was planning to move to and then I was going to look for a new job and believed that then I would finally feel relieved, more relaxed and will be able to enjoy experiencing this country like I had planned to and worked so hard for. My parents were also advising me to buy a house so I was going to start working on that as well.
But then the coronavirus happened. I was the first to be fired from work and my future landlady cancelled on me moving in to her house. Now I've been sitting at my boyfriend's place during the lockdown so I don't have to stay at the house, following world events, questioning mainstream media, reading about the new world order and the total control that's planned over all of us and wondering what's the point in trying anything anymore?
I've spent my life studying hard, earning good grades, working hard, being a good, kind person, making a good impression... And for what? Now I'm here and I've got nothing. The world is going into chaos, being turned upside down and I am expected to get another job. I have ZERO motivation to put any effort for any company at this point. I despise the system, especially after everything I've heard and seen. I want to help bring it down and lay the foundations for the new world, but how when your family expect you to get a job so you remain part of the system and I don't want to disappoint or worry them.. The frustration is indescribable!
My heart extends to you ♡ that is certainly not easy ♡ You are ressiliant, you will have everything you want, keep your dreams alive!
You may enjoy Elizabeth April, Naughty Beaver and or Aaron Doughty. Along with Teal Swan I turn to these channels frequently.
Much love and light to you beautiful being. May you recognize your immense power ♡ The universe has your back ♡
for me, I'm just waiting for my time to end . I'm just watching my story and thinking hmmm what else is going to happen to me,
I'm afraid that i will even be disappointed after my wasted life after death
@@AnasQiblawi I've come to the conclusion source is insatiable..... so being unsatisfied would part of our nature -_- ugh feeling pretty low atm. So much to work thru, so many emotions to process from my past, yet all while having to "function" in the now
Ooooh, you are my soulmate💜. I am happy just from nature and my husband. When birds are signing I feel alive, nothing else is important. Just these moments when you are happy. I am sending you full heart of love.
Well I try to say that sometimes sh•t happens, millennial generation or not!
🤷♂️
Which is one reason apathy and nihilism is rampant for millennial
I always wondered what happened and what was wrong with me. I did follow everything I was told to do... school got good grades, jobs, uni etc etc. I ended up way behind to those who broke that path and got jobs. This explains it all so well thank you Teal. You explain to me why in my mid 30s I'm only just accepting this. I remind myself I'm here to bring change. There's been times I questioned why my soul came here because I never belonged. But now I get it. I have always had so much anger and this explains why to me perfectly. I completely distrust. It's like you're explaining me.
Literally just talking about and searching the different generations with my daughter at midnight last night!! Teal... get outta my brain. 😂 collective consciousness is a trip
YOU are all young. YOU are all worthy human beings. Teal, thank you for caring about this generation. Keep going everyone here, I know you can be anything you desire. Do not give up. I believe in you.
WOW!!!!!! You're amazing this made me feel so much better as a millennial myself . Spot on ! I thought it was just me but it is our entire generation
Maybe the best video you've ever made... I've never felt so seen or understood. Born in 1990. This is me. Thank you
Born 1988, this is exactly how I feel 😭 I though I was the only one. Thankyou Teal for speaking on this ❤
"If you can fix the system or you can't win pull your energy out and destroy the damn thing" .... 100% my thinking
*I feel personally attacked by this relatable content*
Jake Stainback 😂💯👌🏼
Happiness is TEAL SWAN😍😘
I got a love from YOU Teal. Today is pre happy birthday. BTW Teal your b'day is on 16th mine is on 19th
Wow, Teal. This is SPOT ON. And so thorough! I appreciate the direct and humorous way that you address your audience. Thank you for speaking to this worldview that I and many other millennials experience and bringing light to the shadows. I'm sending this to my parents haha. Looking forward to watching your video about how to heal the wound.
I am a Gen Xer who feels one of my roles has been to/will continue to be working to heal misunderstandings between generations and, even more, to help to empower the Millenials who I think are incredible. This video is AWESOME. I can't say how much I admire your work, Teal, and how happy I am you made this video and are addressing this very serious issue. I'll close by saying I am VERY excited for next week's video!
Oh, and if you are a Millenial reading this, one of the reasons I admire you is that in spite of what I think was a pretty shitty hand you were dealt, you continually amaze me with your can-do attitude. My fellow Gen Xers were/are actually much more entitled than you and have spent a lot of our time whining about how shitty things are.
Now, I want to end positively, and say I think Gen X can still redeem itself, but that requires we deal with our wounds and start HEARING the Millenials and helping to guide them and Gen Z as responsible adults.
Thank you 🙏🏼😊 That was beautifully written. As a millennial, I wish I could get that help that you have to offer. And I hope many will feel understood and heal with your assistance. 😊 Much love.
The video is titled MILLENNIAL not Gen X quit being a self absorbed sourpuss
I love your enthusiasm in this one.
Thanks Teal, as a parent I love the insights you share, they totally confirm and inform how I see the Millenials. And me... So much blame is put on them and their behaviours, and I keep pushing the mirror into people's faces, as in "those kids didn't raise themselves....". Your broader view really opened my eyes to more of the underlying mechanisms, thank you! 👍❤
As a Gen Xer I can totally relate to all this! I think I'm a millenial born in the 70s lol. Great video!
Wow! My life in a nutshell. Covid-19 is legit my Saturn return too (born in 91). Not what I had in mind whatsoever 🙃
I make my own rules and loathe authority and any form of long term commitment, to the point that I even always buy my phones up front 😄 I’ve always felt like a slave to the system and that I am sort of destined for failure, trapped no matter which way I choose to go.
Thank you for making this! Really made me feel a bit better and understood during this time.
Im at my last year of saturn return in capricorn, i have that Saturn uranus neptune nasty conjunct right in the 4th house of family. Family is still waiting for me to succeed and save them from financial insecurity. Till now I tried everything and nothing worked out. I am a lawyer and I'm just finishing a post degree I did cuz I thought It would help me get a job. I thought in 2020 i would get my brand new diploma and get a job and hell would pass along with the saturn return. Then came the pandemic... Justice is closed, the courts are closed, offices are crashing, clients have no money for food so they cant pay for a lawyer to defend them against injustice either. Government are letting people die like flies, the President says it's just a little flu and went enjoying jet ski trip yesterday. He is using the pandemic to force a Civil war. I'm from Brazil actually. Well I never wanted to be a lawyer, I did it cuz my mother told me to. Now it's like a zombie apocalypse without the zombies haha. I'm jobless for years cuz family shamed me to depression when i got a convenience store job, they said: you are a lawyer, dont want you to be seen by the neighbors working on a convenience store, what a shame. They also go: when will you get a lawyer job, you're just so useless. Now they are frustrated I cant afford a better life for them, they say everything is on their back and they cant count on me. Well that's how life is. Life sucks. I keep studying though cuz I don't know what else to do with my life. I'm considering searching for some online job but I'm certain everybody is doing this right now, but I try it anyway. And I stopped myself from drawing cuz I felt laziness shame, art is lazy stuff, I cannot spend time on it, I thought. Now I didn't do what I wanted and what I did worth nothing haha. I decided not to have kids since my teen years, I wont put children in the world without resources and knowing they wont have much chances in life.
Shame on them for relying on their child to succeed for *them* obv what's going on in the world right now is out of your hands anyway... Adapt !
@@thaismenezes7279 They sound like awful people and I can fully relate. I still can't stomach to call my mother for Mother's Day.
So many points in here that I relate to. Thank you Teal! I have a lot of insight to work with in order to find a clearer direction for my life. I have been so frustrated at how hard I’ve worked to get absolutely nowhere, I’m nearly ready to give up putting effort into anything anymore. (Except my relationship with my children - which you mentioned!) We do feel cheated by our parents generation and set up for failure, then blamed for not achieving what they have. Thank you for bringing this into my awareness!
I was born in 1978, I can identify with so much of this. Well done. And I love when you laugh while making points, I relate to this as well. Keep up the fine work Dear!
I didn't expect to resonate with this so hard, it made me a bit emotional. I realized I've been unconsciously fighting the "slave" dynamic as long as I can remember. I'm looking forward to next week's video on healing these wounds.
Dude, the fact that she's not even reading a prompter...
I think every time I watch her videos
Because she is a victim of her own created matrix
Trick question !
We all jumped on the parent train
And guess what many people didn’t get what was promised
Most of us did
Perception
Victims
I think she writes the article first and reads it while doing the video.
I've thought our system of financial success was heavily flawed for millennials for a long time now, but didn't realize others thought the same. Thank you for reaffirming that I wasn't just imagining it and "making excuses" because I'm "lazy". Your videos are truly valuable to me.

I was born in 79, but all of this applies to me. I feel the solidarity. 🖤 I'm distrusting and burnt out, but I'm still getting played and I can't get off this terrible game of life ride. I hate it. I'm over it, but I don't know how to get a better, happier life. Definitely powerless feeling. This is like a validating hug. I also cried.
I can’t express to you how validating this wisdom is. You have really touched me through this and it brings joyful tears to my eyes. Thank you Teal Swan 🧡
