zoning out and being lost in thought
I started doing this a lot several years ago and I don’t know what the cause is or what can be done about it
Comment on Is the "Gen z stare" a real thing?

I am a millennial mom to a gen Z teenager and have noticed this as well actually. I wasn’t sure if it was just that my kids friends are weird or what lol. I said hello and they stare or don’t say anything back?? Lol… Like I am your friends mom? You should probably at least take a “hello”???

Also, wanted to add stuff like Niagara App for clean tech and Finch which is a cute wellness app that can help build positive habits and it’s super adorable. Maybe it will help? Just some ideas to throw out there that have worked for me.

Taking breaks away from technology. Camping? When you are able to - sit with your thoughts and accept them instead of fighting against them. The more we avoid and deny ourselves the ability to feel we end up oppressing and disassociating. You are worthy of love and you are allowed to feel anger and sadness as well. It’s normal. Especially lately. Humans have gone through collective trauma for years now, not even counting COVID, and that was a huge one too. It’s normal to feel like shit sometimes. Lean on the local community more than ever before. View your local community as a tribe, it helps after natural disasters. There is collective healing that needs to be done.
Also, this breathing technique daily for a few weeks even outside of stressful situations: “Box breathing is a deep breathing technique that involves inhaling, holding the breath, exhaling, and holding again, each for a count of four seconds. It helps reduce stress, improve focus, and calm the nervous system, making it useful in high-pressure situations.”
