Gen Zers, unlike any other generation, are the first digital natives and barely remember a time without technology. Along with the numerous benefits that the digital age provides, it also brings a variety of drawbacks. One of these harms is Social Anxiety, which has made it difficult for people to connect physically with others and build relationships.
