One reply to “I’m a millennial, and Gen Z makes me anxious”
Wah, this post really hits home! I feel like you’ve captured the struggle of the sandwich generation right on point. The way you talked about balancing our own mental health while worrying about the younger Gen Z is so relatable. Like, I sometimes find myself wondering if I’m doing enough for them but also trying to sort my own life out. Your take on how social media impacts their anxiety is also so true; it’s like we’re all on this never-ending scroll and comparison game.
So here’s my question: Do you think Gen Z’s reliance on validation from social media is gonna change as they grow older, or will it just become more ingrained?
I’m asking this because I genuinely wonder how the next generation will cope when they face the real world pressures—whether they’ll continue seeking external validation or find new ways to define success and self-worth. Curious to see how you all think this will unfold!
