"but how? to me we seem much more confident in ourselves. much more self accepting and aware of our personal neurocies and traumas than every other generation."

Zoomers, and really Millennials too (you could throw them in the mix) are just as discriminatory as other generations. Just not in the same ways. Older generations were ultimately shaped by times where racism, sexual identity, and other 'identity' differences were looked completely down on. So yeah there's lots more acceptance of lgbt+ and religious differences as most zoomers were teenagers or younger when gay marriage was legalized, also when modern wave feminism was picking up steam, basically you're right where personal identification is more 'accepted'.

But at the same time zoomers are much more discriminatory in other ways; most of them have a bleak outlook on life and measure success in utter materialism: So if you're not doing the same thing as someone you're considered 'failure' or 'weird'. You'll be alienated by peers.

Gen Z is the most materialistic generation:

(I did not just pull these sources out of my ass either, these all quote significant studies done by credible research companies)

Another discriminatory thing too among zoomers is the sheer ageism that presents itself in that group of people. There's a weird mentality that 'once you hit 25 you're OLD or outdated' among zoomies, I've seen this plastered all along social media (when I was still on it). Are you really going to act like this doesn't exist? They're extremely obsessed with their youth and are mentally stunted by it.

"more accepting and unrepressed in our sexuality. more committed to taking care of our bodies and our minds. so i just cannot see this at all"

Are they though? Per statistics zoomers on average have the least s***out of any other generation at its age. You can argue that people are more accepting in their sexuality, but if you're part of the 'loneliest' generation that does not date: how would this even present itself as a relevant characteristic?

Also; "taking care of our bodies and our minds" is a bit of a baseless statement. What's the meaning behind this?

"i look at older generations and they generally seem too scared to go to therapy or accept they have issues. too lazy to keep a skincare, self care, workout, meditation routine. lying to themselves about deeply imbedded personality issues or traumas."

I can kind of agree with this: although I would say millennials originally started the 'mental health care' wave that zoomers bought into. Every general grouping of people will have those who don't accept they have issues. Zoomers just put it all out in the open really. Is it done for attention though? Well it could be argued that in some distinctions although most of the time it could be legitimate.

Also the "too lazy" statement, you wouldn't understand because when you become an adult it generally becomes harder and harder to find time to take care of yourself. That's not a generation bound thing.

"Kelsi Carrier, a 23-year-old recent college graduate said she's never owned an iPhone. As a result, she faced criticism and questions from her peers during her time in school."

"iPhone user Genesis Avila, 23, said the stigma against non-iPhones started off as a middle school joke that just never went away. According to Avila, Android users were seen as "poor or a loser," and the mentality gained popularity online.

"Even if Androids are the better phone, that stigma would never make me get one," Avila told Insider."

This obviously is not a meme.

This is a US based survey with a sample size of 14,500, that iMessags thing really doesn’t exist in a world where people use WhatsApp, IG/Twitter dms, and snap more than text. So many people don’t even know that is a thing and a majority of the world have androids
