Whether it's LinkedIn or Tinder, Gen Zers are constantly being told "no." It's sending their anxiety and loneliness into overdrive.
The article from MSN discusses the unique challenges Generation Z faces in social interactions, particularly in dating and college environments. It highlights that Gen Z, born between the mid-1990s and early 2010s, experiences higher rates of rejection due to several modern societal shifts. These include the prevalence of online interactions which can lead to more impersonal rejections, the impact of social media where public image and validation play significant roles, and the increased awareness and sensitivity towards mental health issues which might make individuals more cautious or anxious about rejection. The piece also touches on how the traditional pathways to relationships have changed; with less face-to-face interaction, Gen Z often navigates a more complex landscape of digital communication, leading to a perceived increase in rejection rates. Additionally, the article notes that this generation's approach to dating is influenced by a desire for authenticity and meaningful connections, which can sometimes result in more rejections as they seek partners who align closely with their values and expectations.
