Reflections​

​

The people of GenZ grew up with social media and have experienced various forms of online bullying at an early age. They have learned that being your authentic self requires them to build emotional strength.

 

In their struggle, this generation might have been gifted the freedom to be themselves with less conditioning and a lower desire to please others.

 

They are also well aware of their constant online tracking and more and more see the use of social media as a way to stay connected with people who are physically distant.

​

It would not be surprising to witness an upcoming trend that spurs new kindred communities as they are craving a more trusted environment.

 

All this leads to building a sense of personal resilience — which feeds back into the community like positive fertilizer. As a community tool, social media can grow the attributes and features that strengthen us rather than divide, harm, and weaken us.
