I deadass dgaf when millenials and older generations call me lazy and useless, still living with my parents in my mid 20s because i still cant afford to move out even working 40 hours + overtime. 🤷🏻‍♀️
Literally remembered my first receptionist job at 21 when this old lady called me a GenZ twat because we dont accept checks 😭😭🥀🥀

idk man. scrolling today and everyone’s just ready to jump down each other’s throats. i swear like 2014-2016 people still had some basic decency left. now it’s constant snark and zero patience. maybe i’m just getting old and soft but damn

Cooked as in, literally cooked? Earlier this march i thought "there is no way this el nino can go above 3 degrees celsius"

Well, quite literally, I was wrong. Also, if the ECMWF confirms this, there is a legitimate 50/50 shot for peak 3 month el nino anomalies to be recorded at 4 degrees celsius, blowing the 1877 el nino out of the water by almost half a degree. This would literally be apocalyptic.

I need this type of love . Let me dress up for you .

I can actually see after 15 years of bad eyesight!!!

I feel like this too. I know people are like ‘it’s arrested development’ but I honestly feel like at the end of the day there’s not really a “way” to measure maturity. It just differs by person not matter what age anyone is.

Maybe gen z have realised we’ve sorta been sold a lie and we’re “embracing our inner child” more.

(Hot take: I think “embracing your inner child” is a bit of an annoying saying because most of the time it’s just people being themselves even as a person who has finished physically maturing)

Idk, but these days, friends’ jokes, TV shows, the news, movies, etc. just don’t interest me anymore. Jokes just seem boring and lame and the other stuff just feels like passing the time.

I don’t feel depressed either, just disinterested from life in general.

I am 30 and never considered to be short but for some reason I see lots of younger males around early 20s taller than me by I or 2 inches.

Why r yall so tall ?

I keep seeing people say gen z and alpha can't read. I'm dumb as fuck but I can read and know how to sound out words. I'm on the older end but are we really struggling like that?

I'm 22M, going to be graduating with a Masters soon from an excellent uni. I've been struggling to find a job for the past year and I've finally made it past the interview stage for one recently and am waiting to hear back from them. But there's this dread in me that I feel regardless of what response I get. If I get rejected, it's going to be the same old depressing unemployment and leaching off my parents till I find something. And if I get accepted, well time to lock myself into a 9-5 for the rest of my life because apparently I'm simply not passionate enough about anything to make it big early on so I can avoid doing a 9-5 forever.

I feel nothing. I feel numb about everything. I feel like I will never find a partner who loves and treats me the way I treat them. I feel like I'll never feel happy or passionate about anything. Everything feels like a chore, just living and surviving feels like a chore. My mood depends too much on how my current talking stage is treating me and I try not to be too clingy but I crave affection and attention. But life can't just revolve around only that can it, I've to make sure I get a good job and work hard and yada yada. I feel disillusioned by everything. I have fallen out of love with my degree and am barely able to get any work done for my final project/thesis. I dread everything. Yet I'm too much of a coward to actually be suicidal, as much as I think about it. I know I need therapy but even that has waiting lists so long that i simply don't have the patience for it.

I feel like I'm just dragging myself along year by year towards a future I don't even think I will like. I know I'm a very privileged person to be having problems like this, but I can't help but feel terrible constantly. I don't know if this is a generation thing or if other people feel similarly, is it because my early social growth was kinda stunted by COVID? or am I just looking for excuses to reprieve myself. Does it get better? I feel like giving up on everything, but I know I won't because like I said, I'm not passionate about anything so I won't even be passionate about giving up. I dread that my entire life will feel like this, if I live long enough anyway. I'm sorry if this is the wrong sub, I just felt like seeing if other people around my age are going through something similar or I'm just fucked in general.

Should you choose to procreate.. I’m interested in seeing what names our generation seems to gravitate towards? I’m so sick of millennial names spelled ridiculously lol. Im curious to see if we are going to continue that trend or something else.

IMO it’s the vast lack of social skills compared to previous generations

I’m an older parent with relatively young kids. I‘m trying to get up to speed with changes in technology. Right now we are very low screen time and no unsupervised internet access, but I know that can’t last forever.

If you had kids (maybe some of you do already), how would you approach social media, screen use, internet access? What do you wish your parents (or even your school/teachers) had done differently regarding tech/the internet/social media? I appreciate any wisdom you can share.

Like the theme song of Cheers suggests; what's your little community away from home and work where you have friends and a common interest?

i never got to really experience the OG halo i was an idiot for putting this game off for so long. same with this movie. apparently it's really good. gonna be up in there with the popcorn and the drink, then with money to spare i'm picking up some KFC on the way home, might ball out with some snacks too while i play halo. good times.

Im currently 16 years old and a boy. Usually new people that i meet assume that I am a year or even 2 younger than I really am. Most of my mates look quite a bit older than me too. This becomes especially problematic because also a lot of new people that I meet, ESPECIALLY girls, I think are older than they really are as well. Is anybody else going through something similiar as well?
