Why You Don’t Think Like Me: The Truth About Generational Friendships

Send us Fan MailWhy You Don’t Think Like Me: The Truth About Generational Friendships Friendship hasn’t gotten worse… it’s just gotten different. In this episode of Slightly Unsupervised, Jennifer and Jackie break down how friendships have evolved from Baby Boomers to Gen Z—and why every generation connects, communicates, and shows up in completely different ways. From the loyalty and “don’t talk about it” mindset of Baby Boomers, to the independent, low-maintenance friendships of Gen X… to the emotionally expressive Millennials and the boundary-driven Gen Z—each generation has its own friendship language. And sometimes… those languages don’t translate. Jennifer and Jackie get real about:  Why different generations expect completely different things from friendship  The biggest clashes between loyalty, communication, and boundaries  How the way you were raised shapes how you show up as a friend  Why some people want to talk everything out… and others just want you to get over it  How to stop taking generational differences personally—and start understanding them They also share real-life stories, generational frustrations, and a few laugh-out-loud moments (including the reality of growing up with wall phones and zero privacy). Because the truth is— we’re all using the word “friendship”… 👉 but we don’t all mean the same thing. Chickology PodcastsBold podcasts by women, for women.
