The Psychology of Gen X: Raised to Handle Everything Alone

Generation X grew up in a world where nobody expected you to be available 24/7. You figured things out, solved problems on your own, and learned to keep going without making a big deal out of it. But what happens when that independence becomes something you can’t switch off? In this video, you'll explore the psychology of Generation X and how growing up between the analog and digital worlds may have shaped attitudes toward independence, trust, work, emotions, and asking for help. From latchkey childhoods and technological change to research on self-efficacy and generational differences, you'll discover why some Gen X experiences feel so familiar—and why no generation can be reduced to a single personality type. Because being strong doesn't have to mean doing everything alone. If you grew up in Generation X, which part of this story feels familiar? Share your experience in the comments.
