According to an Oxfam poll, loneliness doens’t just affect older generations – almost half (47%) of Gen Z, or those born between around 1997-2012, say they often feel lonely. In fact, according to their data, Gen Z were the loneliest generation of them all. 49% of those asked said the trend was down to a lack of social opportunity. So I was intrigued to read the responses to a post shared to r/GenZ, which asked other forum members to share “How tf to make friends”.
