26 days agoEvery generation comes with its own strengths and weaknesses. But our generation — the one of smartphones, filters, and endless scrolling — seems to be losing something deeper than we realize. We have technology, knowledge, and freedom at our fingertips, yet many of us are more lost, anxious, and disconnected than ever.
Let’s talk about some of the bad things defining this generation.
1. Addiction to Validation
We’ve built our lives around likes, follows, and views. Our self-worth now depends on digital approval.
Instead of finding value in who we are, we chase attention from strangers online. The result? Insecurity, comparison, and fake perfection.
2. Short Attention Spans
We scroll endlessly but remember nothing. We jump from one trend to another, one relationship to another, one job to another — always searching for quick excitement but never staying long enough to build something meaningful.
3. Lack of Deep Connections
We call everyone “bestie,” yet feel lonely inside.
Social media connects us, but not in the way that heals us. We’ve replaced conversations with memes, and real emotions with emojis.
People are everywhere — yet no one is truly present.
4. Disrespect for Values and Elders
In the name of “freedom,” many have abandoned respect, humility, and gratitude.
It’s good to challenge the old ways, but when rebellion becomes pride, we lose our sense of culture, manners, and identity.
5. Fake Success and Pressure
This generation glorifies overnight success.
Everyone wants to “blow” without showing the grind.
Social media creates pressure to look rich, even when you’re broke.
We’ve forgotten that true success is built with time, discipline, and consistency — not filters and fake lifestyles.
6. Mental Health Neglect
We joke about anxiety and depression like it’s nothing, yet millions silently battle them every day.
We escape through entertainment instead of healing through reflection.
Therapy, faith, and real self-care should not be seen as weakness.
7. Loss of Purpose
We chase trends instead of calling.
We want money but not meaning.
We want attention but not impact.
The world is full of noise, but very few voices speak truth.
