Thanks to a study that went viral on social media, the world learned this past week about 'menu anxiety' - which is apparently the fear of having to order food off a menu. As it turns out, the vast majority of Generation Z suffers from menu anxiety. Sad!
Choosing food cooked for you from a pre-determined menu is, sadly, not the only deep terror plaguing young Americans. Here are 13 more very real anxieties Gen Z faces:
- Talking To A Person Anxiety: When you have to talk to a person. In person!
- GIF Anxiety: When you can't figure out what GIF to send a friend. Or how to pronounce GIF.
- Breathing Anxiety: When you have to breathe to stay alive.
- Anxiety Anxiety: When you're not currently anxious about something and that makes you anxious.
- Large Mackerel Anxiety: When you're worried there is a large mackerel somewhere in your vicinity.
- Netflix Anxiety: When you can't decide between two extremely dark series both guaranteed to only last two seasons.
- Everything Is Cancer Anxiety: When everything you ever feel, like slight bloating after eating six tamales, is a sure sign of cancer.
- Snowflake Anxiety: When you are anxious about snow because any movement could destroy a unique, delicate snowflake.
- Latte anxiety: When you're in the line at Starbucks and you really want a caramel soy latte but eesh, maybe you want a peppermint one and oh shoot you can't remember what Venti means and everyone's staring at you.
- Where Is My Phone Anxiety: REEEEE!!!!!!
- Duck Face Anxiety: When your picture was taken but you're not sure if your face looked enough like a duck. Applies to girls only.
- Annihilation Anxiety: When you don't believe in God, so you think death is the end of your consciousness rendering all of life terrifying and devoid of meaning. Whoa!
- Things Aren't Free Anxiety: When you are confronted with things you might have to work for to obtain.
Pray for Gen Z, people!
