E20: what happened to going out?
in this episode, lyla explores the loneliness epidemic currently affecting Gen Z and hindering their ability to create meaningful relationships with others. she explains how Gen Z's loneliness epidemic goes so much deeper than just "being on our phones" as our parents' generation would say, and shows how it is rooted in architectural, systematic, and economic problems, many of which are beyond our control. on this episode of the Becoming DISScomfortable podcast, we dive DEEP into the causes of this epidemic, including the reduction of "third spaces", financial barriers, Gen Z's lack of interest in drinking and bars compared to previous generations, declining mental health, and more, and Lyla offers helpful solutions to combat this epidemic near the end of the episode.
