Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Older gen z here, I definitely fall into that category. Many factors have contributed to it.
lol who tf are these people without anxiety?
Raises hand
It's not because I suffer less, or because I'm stronger or Gen Z is weaker or some other bullshit excuse.
It's because I've just had enough. All the things we're freaking out about are manmade, and we could literally stop it at anytime but we won't because the left half of the human intelligence bell curve is given equal reverence to expert opinions and data, when espousing about complex topics that they fundamentally don't understand.

Good thing we semi-legalized cannabis
I blame the fact that Gen Z is still very much entangled in the education system, which at present basically purpose built to stoke existential dread about future life prospects.
"If you don't do good enough now you're going to miss out on college which means you'll miss out on jobs which means you'll miss out on being able to afford a not shit standard of living which means you'll miss out on good healthcare which means..."
And then the folks getting into the professional sphere right now being told absolutely none of that was relevant to what they're expected to learn to do well professionally.
No wonder young folks have an existential dread problem, they're constantly told that their future well being relies on them performing a song and dance number perfectly for an audience who couldn't care less about anything they actually have to learn for that song and dance.
Not just that, but they'll probably do that song and dance until they're too old to go on anymore. Pretty bleak
