You might just come in under budget.

But the point is, I see all of these excuses and I'm just like, Gen Z is coping.

There are obviously barriers.

We obviously were not taught to socialize in the way that other generations were.

We lost out on a lot of that in large part, thanks to our government and ridiculous people in our culture.

But these are barriers that in my opinion are very easily broken down.

So again, your challenge, if you choose to accept it, is to throw a party.

I literally threw one last week that we planned in like three days.

It was my mom's birthday party.

It was a random assortment of friends and coworkers and neighbors we hadn't met.

I spent $15 on lanterns from Amazon and we hired an at-home hibachi man.

And oh my God, it was one of the most fun nights I have had in a long time.

And guys, I will do it again just to partake in this challenge with you guys.

And I do wanna say,

that if you are somebody who is always an attendee, if you do show up, if you don't flake, but you are never an organizer or a host, maybe try to take on a different role for once.

Because from the conversations I have had with friends, let me tell you, the hosts do get tired of being the backbone of your community.

So just keep that in mind the next time you accept one of their invitations.

But guys, like throwing a party and unhosting

Like Brittany was saying, it is not the full solution because to really turn things around, you do have to be a team player in your social life.

You have to be a villager in order to be in the village and benefit from the village.
