New Barna data reveals that anxiety and uncertainty continue to be most prominent among Gen Z compared to older generations. About two in five Gen Z report always feeling uncertain about the future (39%), anxious about important decisions (39%) and afraid to fail (38%).

Alongside this, younger respondents are significantly less likely than older respondents to say they never feel lonely, isolated from others, anxious about important decisions, overwhelmed with responsibilities, among other emotions.
