Interesting, this deeply conflicts with my own experience in work / voluntary organisations. I wonder if the frustrations you're experiencing with older colleagues could also be accounted for by their having to navigate an environment of high and expanding sensitivity? "I think they're better trained socially to express themselves and reflect on their reactions and their state" My alternate construal is that they're convinced their interpretation is accurate / important. i.e.: That their feelings in any given situation have as much or more weight as what is objectively true.
