Research shows Gen Z is the loneliest generation as the young population yearn for deeper connections. Experts share advice on how to establish more meaningful friendshipsThe loneliness epidemic can affect anyone of any age. Young adults and teens often face their own set of problems."Actually, it's Gen Z. That's the loneliest generation," said Cat Moore, the Director of Belonging at USC. She says young people are yearning for deeper friendships.
Recent surveys show 73% of young adolescents to about 27 years old often feel alone and disconnected.Galdi's USC graduation was online. She did get to walk across the stage many months later, but she says it wasn't the same."I was not able to socialize with my peers. Basically my entire world would be online for the foreseeable future," Galdi said.
"It's not that they're not connected. The issue is, how many of those connections are meaningful," said Moore. "The ability to start sharing who you really are, including your perceived flaws and shortcomings. That takes a whole other skill set," she said."Anyone can create a sense of belonging for anyone that they're interacting with by slowing down to listen and care about them," Moore said.
