I have never felt lonielier than when I am surrounded by people who can tell me what to do. Build more third places instead please.

What a ridiculous article. In-person jobs exist. Plenty of employers are forcing employees to return to the office, and job seekers are abandoning them like mice off a sinking ship. If anyone, Gen Z or otherwise, wanted to work in an office, they could. Remote work from home gives employees greater flexibility and control over their own work/life balance. It is objectively better for the employee, and now that we have it, nobody wants to give it back.

Gen Z is lonely because they have no dislosable income and we’re still reeling from a poorly managed pandemic. If wages go up, and rent comes down, people will be a lot less lonely.

This article reads like some CEO association paid a tabloid journalist to write propaganda about how wonderful on-site work is. Any longer and the article would seem almost … desperate.

Next month, “How working 70 hours a week can help your depression.”

for some.

Yeah, maybe. Loneliness cured by the “family” in the office shudder

Business Insider article, NOT a Psychology Today article. Consider the source, it’s perspective, bias, and motivations.

Homeless folks are cold, jackets may be the cure for some 🤡

"Nearly one in four people worldwide — which translates into more than a billion people — feel very or fairly lonely, according to a recent Meta-Gallup survey of more than 140 countries.”

“Notably, these numbers could be even higher. The survey represents approximately 77% of the world’s adults because it was not asked in the second-most populous country in the world, China.”

The thing about loneliness is everybody thinks they’re the exception

eh, a few sacrifices must be made then

Millennials are fighting to never go back while Gen Z is pushing hard to return. The differences in generations is really showing.
