💨 Abstract

TikTok recently highlighted the "Gen Z stare," where twentysomethings respond to simple questions with blank expressions and vague answers. This phenomenon, exacerbated by the pandemic, might stem from reduced social skills, self-consciousness influenced by constant online scrutiny, and burnout from a high-pressure environment. Some Gen Z individuals also use this stare as a form of passive resistance to frustrating or entitled questions.
