Thanks for the candid and frank first person viewpoint on this issue.   I agree with a few of the previous comments that the current generation (and those yet to come) should not exclusively expect their predecessors (Traditionalists, Boomers) to come to them and ask about their feelings.  All three generations have to merge.  If Millenials sit around waiting for the rest of us to tell them how wonderful they are we will continue to be stuck in the mud.
