In a recent survey, 59.3% of respondents claimed to have encountered the "Gen Z stare," a trend popularized on TikTok. Out of 241 readers, 143 acknowledged this gaze. The phenomenon sparked discussions on social media, showcasing different opinions about Gen Z's communication styles and social skills. Some respondents highlighted the creativity and tech-savviness of Gen Z, while others criticized their perceived lack of proactive social engagement, particularly in workplace interactions where conversation initiation is crucial.
"Gen Z is very creative and tech-savvy. One downfall is that they expect things to go smoothly and are not as proactive as previous generations. I am a part of the latter half of Gen Z, but pre-COVID I was advocating for myself in college."
"I see a lack of social skills, mainly the ability to start a conversation first which is essential in sales. Not all, but many on the younger end of the generation have this trouble."
