Gregory is an intelligent and kind young man in his mid-20s. At age 16, he dropped out of school. He still lives with his mother. Suffering from anxiety and depression, he has worked a smattering of entry-level, part-time jobs…none lasting more than a few months.
Gregory’s main preoccupation? Video games. He plays them for hours on end, every day and into the wee hours of the morning.
It would be easy to dismiss Gregory — whose name has been changed here to protect his identity — as just another lazy, unmotivated poster boy for Gen Z. But the fact is, you may be more similar to Gregory than you think.
