“you got this gen z” “ you go gen z” “so proud of gen z hope this works for them” “gen z is gonna do great things” hey you guys know you can participate too this is your world and generations are fake
I am so sorry. I will start feeling terrible immediately for being supportive.
Maybe replace “you” with “we”?
Those types of comments really do feel more “Please fix this for us.” and not generally encouraging.
But hey, don’t let a little extra thought into what the OP was trying to say keep you from your drama! Cheers.
The people who tell the next generation to fix everythung are annoying and I’ve blogged about that before but what I’m seeing more of on here is just the sort of generalized positivity that exists for like everyone else on this site except directed toward Gen Z specifically. I honestly don’t get what’s so bad about that. Besides, anyone who says older people aren’t pulling their weight when that flies in the face of the past ten years of society is stirring up drama for the sake of stirring up drama to begin with.
i’ve also been under the impression that people are just trying to show gen z the support they wish they had growing up, but as a kid of immigrants i also get that trying to be supportive can actually backfire and transform into a burdensome kind of social pressure if it doesn’t involve open and honest communication.
and to be honest i think it is kind of our job as their elders to listen to their feelings and fix our message because more life experience is supposed to prepare us better for empathizing and communicating. at the very least we should try to do better than being passive-aggressive at an actual child for not knowing as much as we do
That’s true. I think everyone tries to give younger people what they thought they were denied when they were younger and it doesn’t always work because people are different. I’m sure the folks handing out the participation trophies in the 90s were well meaning too.
Ultimately, my hostility toward the OP was unwarrented.
