Have you ever been hit with the Gen Z stare?

Dont people of all generations do this?

Hi. Gen Z here. It's because we're all confused, upset, and hopeless - so sometimes we black out for a moment thinking about the economy and political unrest and our feelings of how we are all doomed to never know the happiness and stability that others before us have felt.

Are we just gonna label every blank Stare the "*Insert Generation* Stare?" before it was called the Boomer stare.

Social skills take thousands and thousands of hours to develop and adolescence is a critical period for developing social skills, Dr. Twenge said. And Gen Z has spent much less time with their peers in person during that critical stage.

Also I will say, while Gen Z is pretty awful, at least theyre not making iPad kids. Thats entirely millennials doing.

Generation-isms that are made up solely to divide is a waste of time and should be ignored as such.

Especially when all of our public services that we paid for with taxes are being stolen out from under us.

It's just bantz, bro

Welcome to reality. You're situation isn't exclusive to Gen Z. Gen Z just doesn't ever want to learn how to process the act of living. Instead your generation runs from everything and stuffs their faces into their phones/tablets. It's easier for your generation (maybe not you) to cry foul when you refuse to educate yourselves on how other people had it before you were born.

As King Solomon wrote, Nothing New under the sun Happens. Everything that has happened before, will happen again, to each generation.

People are gonna get mad at this, but there is definitely some merit to it.

Wow. I agree that what they said was stupid, but you're old man yelling at kids to get off his grass.

I doubt an entire generation refuses to educate themselves and runs from everything. They certainly avoid conflict largely, but so do I as a millennial.

Parenting is kind of a fresh concept when you think about it. Not "keeping a child alive for 18 years" but parenting.

HUGE generalizations incoming:

Gen Z got screwed over because millenials were largely spoiled and lived care free lives, they did not pick up on many practical skills as a result. Their Gen X parents did this because they valued individuality and freedom after being raised (and screwed over) by a boomer generation that was largely about discipline and order, since they were raised by parents who knew about untold horrors of war and disease, and so they were focused on simply getting by in life.

The parents of boomers (who I am sure also have a generational title) were literally living in an era where people were still cranking out huge families because children still died in infancy and childhood in frequent occasion, or you simply needed that many children to run the farm, woodshop, butcher, etc; Childhood was survival to these people.

The boomers were the first generation for centuries and centuries to see an incredibly massive shift in how they viewed and treated their own children, nothing like that had ever been seen before, at least not in America. We're still seeing the effects of it today as a result and honestly, as much as I do like to riff on Gen Z, I feel sorry for them. I feel sorry for the boomers and everyone since too, this is all new stuff, nobody really knows what they're doing.

Millennials were the 1st of the fools to cower and need safe spaces.

Why do people stare at the buttons on a lift?

God damn, you're older than I thought. Millennials may indeed be the first to take mental health more seriously and be open about it, but I'm guessing you just think that makes us snowflakes.

*shrug*

I walk down the street and these creepy girls just stare at me. They dont say anything they just stare. Its really creepy.

I think you're really overestimating the happiness and stability of previous generations.

Yeah, the economy sucks but political unrest now is nothing compared to other eras in history, including recent history

Yes, but only when they are so incompetent or incapable of understanding what they are being told.

My cousin after getting out of jail would do it, and a couple of my employees tried it. I just mock them for looking stupid and ask if they have any common sense of if they plan on being idiots all their lives.

They complain I'm mean, but seriously. Grow up. Creepy staring instead of processing information, give it a rest.
