The stiff upper lip is dying out, with the snowflake generation prone to bursting into tears on trains or in pubs, a study has found. Millennials are twice as likely to cry in public than older generations, according to research. The survey of 2,000 people showed that nearly one in eight younger adults said they had cried on public transport, and nearly as many have cried in a pub. Research also found that four in ten millennials are afraid of striking up conversations with people they don’t know. Christian Mendes, of Privilege, said the findings showed the ‘polar opposite’ of the survival of the stiff upper lip.
