ANALISIS “SOME ONE TO TALK” TERHADAP KESEHATAN MENTAL GEN Z DENGAN LOVE LANGUAGE “WORD OF AFFIRMATION”
Abstract
Generation Z, those born between 1997 and 2012, face unique challenges in an
increasingly digital and complex world. Academic pressures, social media demands, and
uncertainty about the future can all have a negative impact on their mental health. Amidst
these challenges, it is important to understand how certain factors can impact the mental
well-being of Generation Z.
One important factor to examine is the role of "Someone to Talk," which is the presence
of someone who can be a place to talk and share feelings. For Generation Z, who often
feel isolated and have difficulty expressing emotions, having someone who can listen and
provide emotional support can be an important support in maintaining their mental health.
It is also important to consider Love Language, which is how someone gives and receives
affection. For those whose Love Language is "Word of Affirmation," positive words and
recognition are the most meaningful forms of affection. Therefore, the influence of
"Someone to Talk" on the mental health of Generation Z with the Love Language "Word
of Affirmation" needs to be further studied.
This essay will discuss the influence of "Someone to Talk" on the mental health of
Generation Z with the Love Language "Word of Affirmation". This study will examine how
the presence of someone who can be a place to tell stories and give positive words can
affect the mental well-being of Generation Z with the Love Language "Word of
Affirmation".
