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 Business Insider discusses how Generation Z, born between 1997 and 2012, is facing unprecedented levels of rejection across various aspects of life. This generation is experiencing high rejection rates in college admissions, job applications, and even in personal relationships, with phenomena like "ghosting" becoming more common. The piece highlights that Gen Z is the most educated generation yet struggles with employment, often facing multiple rejections before securing a job. In dating, they encounter frequent ghosting, which adds to their sense of rejection. The article also touches on how social media and the digital age amplify these feelings of rejection, as every aspect of their lives is potentially on display, leading to increased anxiety and a unique set of challenges not faced by previous generations.
