"One that really bugs me...." |

Message Replied To ========== Could you give an example of an "insulting generalization"? * ============================== ...because it's dismissive, rude, used in a WAY too all-encompassing manner (particularly when directed at young people), and frankly has a bullying aspect to it. I'm referring to "Special snowflake/Special Snowflake Syndrome". A look at the Urban Dictionary definition: A malady affecting a significant portion of the world's population wherein the afflicted will demand special treatment, conduct themselves with a ludicrous, unfounded sense of entitlement, and generally make the lives of everyone around them that much more miserable.
The danger of this disease is that the sufferers rarely, if ever, know that they have contracted it, and continue about their merry way under the assumption that EVERYONE ELSE is the problem. This condition, if left untreated, can radically alter the carrier's demeanor, to include any of the following: a complete devolution to child-like behavior, temper tantrums, and/or fits of narcissistic rage. The irony is this: Who does "Special Snowflake" describe very well? Do I really need to link a certain Twitter account?
