I don’t know how universal it is, but where I’m from people brag about having a rough upbringing like it’s a badge of honor. It leads to a really silly culture where people feel a social pressure to exaggerate and mythologize their childhoods as a series of legendary conquests. You’ll notice in OPs image that the event that they endured was spending a day playing with a sprinkler and then eating a sandwich at the neighbor’s house.

I think their Normandy was being comfortably bored and unsure what would be a satisfying career that didn’t give them ennui. Those careers would still feed and house them, but the ennui was Normandy. REALITY BYTES AMIRITE
Seems that way. A lot of immigrant groups tend to be of a “lower class” as well that unfortunately involve a more abusive upbringing. I was shocked at the amount of US latinos that talk about the “chancla” and being hit by their parents as a regular thing. I never saw that from anyone in my family or my friends, but the kids that had that happen to them were usually raised in the poorer parts of the cities.
The amount of times as a child that a kids dad coming home was a reason to leave was too damn high.
Millennials turned into nervous wrecks because we had to deal with our fucked up Boomer and Gen X elders lol jk I love my older comrades
