    Apologies, but for some reason I understand it, even if from the first glance the article seems uncommon…

    I am around 40 myself, but it feels like some younger people don’t want to think much at all… They just don’t care and their “stare” shows that you mean nothing, or do not consider your an individual at all but just an objectified obstacle.

    It feels indeed like some people nowadays have “glass”, “voided”, or just “empty” eyes…

      That isn’t something new to Gen Z. You’re just noticing it now because you’ve matured, but I promise you that your age cohort behaved the same 15 years ago.

      Oh if we are talking about service workers, I’ve seen the bored vacant stare from people in a McJob since before I even entered the workforce. I noticed it as an observant child watching adolescents in such positions, and those kids were probably Generation Jones or maybe younger boomers.
