Why Gen Z is Impossible to Get Along With
Why do Gen Z struggle so much with communication? I'm part of Gen Z and, TBH, I find it way harder to vibe with my own age group. It's like, way easier to chat with GenX. Most of my squad are legit in their 50s!

Was talking about this the other day with my Xennial wife.

On our block, all of the Zoomers (we count 6 that we know of), except the ones in one particular family, are totally unapproachable and don't acknowledge anyone's existence but their own (and I guess their close friends).

My next-door neighbors, a Zoomer couple, will just walk past you and not only say nothing, but somehow avoid making any eye contact at all.

I come from a time where it was considered not only polite but a benefit to at least be on speaking terms with your neighbor (safety reasons among them, because neighbors keep an eye on your property for you), but these Zoomers don't want any of that. I just hope none of them ever need my help, because at this point they're just strangers. Actually, they're worse than that, because I have healthy exchanges (even just a glance and a smile or nod) with strangers every day.

They're totally alienating themselves. If my neighbor came to my house right now and rang the doorbell, needing help, I legit might not even recognize him or his girlfriend, and might not even let them in on that basis. And if I did recognize them and they were pleading for help, I'd probably just be frozen in shock that they even know I exist, or just weirded out that suddenly they want to acknowledge me, let alone interact with me.

Now, the Zoomers (2 of them) in the family I mentioned, are exceptional. They remind me of my own generation or older, only in the bodies of Zoomers, and I'm sure that's because their parents are just great parents. The dad and mom are very sweet and considerate, but firm. You can tell they instilled discipline and common courtesy in her kids. I say all of that because I believe their parenting might have countered the default Zoomer mindset their kids would have otherwise had.

Anyway, I'm sad for them. They'll probably proclaim in their 40s and 50s to be lonely and not realize they themselves were the cause of it. Generally speaking, the majority of them definitely don't seem to be very self-aware.

For sure, but generally speaking :sldmuggles:
gen z is the most social generation there has ever been, but everything happens online. most gen z's grow up having thousands of followers. and often times the online world seems more appealing.

then they grow up and realize they built very few meaningful relationships online, and that no matter how many numbers they have on their screen they're still lonely.
Ya, honestly if you step back and look at the grand scheme of things this online stuff is brand new to humanity. It's awesome but it does have downsides. Humans are very social and we're attuned in certain ways. I think having online friends is great, but if you have in person friendships it has the potential to grow deeper. Going out to do activities, eat out, and stuff like that just activates our senses and hormones. But like you said earlier, you can be surrounded by people and still feel lonely. There's also people who are introverted and hate social settings. Humans are complicated, but we do see a trend of people feeling more lonely so idk...

i'm guessing wherever you got that from did not account for online interpersonal bonds
I'm not sure. I do acknowledge that online friends can have a deep relationship, but let's distinguish by saying friends by close proximation. Humans have a craving by sense and has shown to create stronger memories. Touching and hugging are big ones. We know that many psychologists show that touch deprivation increase cortisol. I'm not saying you can't get this from a partner or family, but it does increase the bond between friends.

Again, I want to say you can create strong bonds online, but we are human and generally speaking, we crave senses.
okay

what does that have to do with social skills then?

50+ Boomer
30-50 Gen X
15-30 Millenial
1-15 - Gen Z
Yeah, this isn't even remotely correct. Gen Z was born from 1996 to 2010, meaning the oldest of us are nearing our 30s.

I'm pretty sure a millenial can be up to 42 years old or so as sell
Because we had better memes in the ol' days. Much better ones than that retarded toilet meme for sure.
Gen Z is just Gen X without the life experience to understand why Gen X is delusionally the exact same as their Baby Boomer parents.

It's a cocktail of Age, Fear and Neuroticism.
You don't like Change because Change is difficult.
Change is also ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ inevitable, you know, kind of like the fact that you're going to die one day is ALSO inevitable.

And the thing that's great about inevitabilites is that the longer you ignore them the more that you screw YOURSELF out of the quality of the substance of reality that is actually tangible and actually makes your life worth living in the first place.

You spend so long running from that which you are afraid of that you eventually forget what the Hell you're even running from in the first place, you've learned to just run from it. Do you know anybody, have you ever met anybody, who has successfully ran away from death, and found immortality?

No, of course you don't.
Because that isn't reality.

Cancel Culture Cannot Cancel Death.
Governments Cannot Legally Write Death off.
The %1 Cannot Pay Death Off.

I am not saying that life is without joy...
But I am saying that if all you ever do is run from that which you cannot run from, vote for that which cannot be voted against, and throw money at that which does not give a ♥♥♥♥ about money...
Than you will never find joy in life. You will never find actual happiness and fulfillment.

So instead of running away from inevitability, we should challenge it.
We won't overcome it, no, but that is not the point of challenging it.
The point of challenging it is To Learn About It.

What greater teacher in existence is there to teach us about existence, than Nonexistence?

Life is an individual experience.
You have a limited amount of time on this planet, so you owe it to yourself to find inner peace and restitution from the external world around you.
It is just unfortunate that there is no road map on how to do that or find that, but instead we definitely have a map of what makes no sense to do, like, you know, trying to avoid, deny, refute, and run away from, our own individual mortality.

Happiness comes from learning and understanding.
Not from running away from that which cannot be ran away from.

Babies cannot communicate with adults, which results in a lot of tragedy and misfortune.
Not all life lessons can be learned in books, a life experience is a lesson that can only be understood and learned through living through that experience.
Sadly, this is actually one of the biggest hangups that there is in life for a lot of people.
It challenges the ego unfavorably. But nobody wants to admit to that.
But admitting to that is actually where the learning experience, the lesson and punchline, is.

Like when it´s about who has the best toys - to figure out who is successful in life and who not?
