We aren’t lazy, we’re EXHAUSTED #GenZ
If you’ve been searching for the real reason why Gen Z is tired all the time, stop scrolling because we need to talk about the toxic hustle culture gaslighting us. Let’s be real for a second. You aren’t lazy. You aren't "unmotivated." You are reacting normally to a system that wasn't built for the reality we live in today. We were told that if we followed the blueprint—go to school, get the degree, get the job—we’d be set. But the math isn't mathing anymore. Rent is sky-high, groceries cost a fortune, and entry-level jobs require five years of experience. The older generations call it laziness because they measure success by a metric that expired in 2005. They see us setting boundaries, "quiet quitting," or prioritizing our mental health over a corporate pizza party, and they label it as a lack of work ethic. It’s not. It’s a survival mechanism. We are the first generation to realize that killing yourself for a company that will replace you in a week isn't a flex; it's a trap. This exhaustion you feel? It’s called burnout, and it comes from running on a treadmill that keeps speeding up while the reward creates distance. We are tired of pretending that outdated systems still work. We are tired of being told to "work harder" when the reward for hard work is just... more work. So, if you’re feeling stuck or guilty for resting, let this be your permission slip to breathe. You are redesigning what "success" looks like, and that is exhausting work. Don't let anyone gaslight you into thinking you're the problem. The game is rigged, so stop playing by their rules and start making your own. If you're ready to break the cycle, hit that SUBSCRIBE button on REAL GENZ MOTIVATION.
