The high expectation drivel fed by parents is something that in that context is something that the millennials needed to overcome. That, however, is only part of the story. Setting aside the expectations of "you are special and can be anything you want to be" from parents there is also the "the world around you is crafted to a degree that previous generations didn't deal with." Recognizing that part of it is also important. If you compare yourself to influencers and expect to be able to live a life like them, you will likely be unhappy. Correspondingly, if you compare yourself to the crafted image of your peers all the time, you may feel that you're not doing as well as they are. That part isn't a millennial issue but rather a "everyone who uses social media to compare or boast about their current social situations."
