Job rejections.
Being ghosted.
Not getting into the program.
The promotion going to someone else.
The apartment application falling through.
The business idea not taking off.

For our generation, “failure” often shows up in quiet, everyday ways, and it can hit hard. Especially when social media makes it look like everyone else is winning.

But not getting what you wanted doesn’t automatically mean you lost. Sometimes it means that door wasn’t aligned. Sometimes it means timing isn’t right. Sometimes it means you’re being pushed toward something you wouldn’t have chosen on your own.

Rejection stings. It’s supposed to. But it doesn’t define your trajectory.

And if you’re feeling discouraged, stuck, or questioning yourself after a setback, therapy can help you process it without letting it rewrite your self-worth.

You’re not behind. You’re in motion.

We are the most overstimulated generation in history.

Constant notifications.
Constant comparison.
Constant advice.
Constant access.

Your nervous system was built for cycles of stress and recovery, not 24/7 digital input.

If you’ve been feeling wired but tired, distracted but overwhelmed, motivated but burnt out… it may not be a motivation issue.

It may be overload.

Sometimes healing starts with subtracting, not adding.

And if you’re trying to reset your patterns, regulate your stress, or quiet the noise, therapy gives you a space that isn’t competing for your attention.

A lot of what we’re healing from isn’t trauma… it’s messaging.

The hustle culture messaging.
The “don’t be dramatic” messaging.
The “handle it yourself” messaging.
The “rest when you’re dead” messaging.

Unlearning takes just as much courage as learning.

If you’ve been trying to shift patterns, set boundaries, regulate your emotions, or build healthier relationships, you don’t have to figure that out alone.

Therapy gives you space to unpack what you absorbed, decide what still fits, and let go of what doesn’t.

At Talking Works, we offer:
• In-person NYC + virtual sessions
• Most major insurance accepted
• $30 sessions with supervised graduate clinicians

Growth isn’t about becoming someone new.
Sometimes it’s about returning to who you were before the noise.

The concept of Survivorship Bias became famous during World War II.

Engineers examined returning airplanes and planned to reinforce the areas with the most bullet holes.

Statistician Abraham Wald pointed out the flaw:

- They were only looking at planes that survived
- The planes that didn’t return likely had damage in completely different areas

The lesson?
You can’t analyze only what made it back.

Survivorship Bias shapes modern life constantly:

➡️ You see startup founders who made it, not the thousands who closed quietly.
➡️ You see influencers who “blew up,” not the millions who didn’t.
➡️ You see couples who made long distance work, not the ones who broke up.
➡️ You see fitness transformations, not the attempts that stopped.

Social media amplifies the survivors.
Failure rarely trends.

The Emotional Impact:

This bias quietly fuels:
• Comparison
• Feeling “behind”
• Unrealistic expectations
• Risk without context
• Self-blame when things don’t go viral, scale, or explode overnight

It’s not that you’re failing.
You’re just not seeing the full dataset.

Practical Takeaways:

1️⃣ Ask: “Who am I not seeing?”
2️⃣ Remember that visibility ≠ probability.
3️⃣ Separate inspiration from statistics.
4️⃣ Don’t measure your timeline against curated survival stories.

Survivorship Bias doesn’t mean success is impossible. It means success stories are incomplete. And your path doesn’t need to look viral to be valid.

It’s easy to think things will feel better “one day.”
One day, when work slows down.
One day, when stress passes.
One day, when life settles.

But the truth is, most stability is built quietly, through small conversations, small habits, small shifts in how you show up every day.

That applies to relationships, health, finances… and your mental wellbeing too.

If you’ve been meaning to reflect, reset, or strengthen something in your life, you don’t have to do it alone. Therapy is one way to take a small, intentional step now that can shape a steadier future.

At Talking Works, we offer in-person sessions across NYC and virtual therapy, accept most major insurance plans, and provide affordable $30 sessions with associate clinicians.

The “later” you want can start today.

The response was eye-opening. ⬇️
[Continued in the comments]

First, your sister’s experience is incredibly common.

The Gen Z friendship paradox

Gen Z is the first generation to grow up hyper-connected but under-connected.

They’re great at:
• Maintaining distributed relationships (group chats, DMs, streaks, shared memes)
• Staying emotionally aware and articulate
• Curating identity and interests online

But they often struggle with:
• Proximity-based friendships (the casual “let’s grab coffee” kind)
• Turning potential connections into repeat, embodied ones
• Navigating adult friendship without built-in structures (school, dorms, clubs)

College masked this for a lot of people. Once geography splinters those friendships, the social scaffolding disappears, and suddenly, loneliness shows up even when life looks good on paper.

So… can therapy help?

Yes, but probably not in the way people usually imagine.

Therapy isn’t about “fixing” her social life.
It’s about helping her understand the system she’s in and her place within it.

Here’s how therapy can help specifically with this kind of loneliness (in the comments)

Let this Valentine’s Day reminder push understanding that relationships are built through communication, emotional awareness, repair after conflict, and the willingness to understand each other more deeply over time.

Strong relationships don’t stay strong by accident.
They grow when people slow down, reflect on patterns, and learn how to show up for one another with more clarity and care.

If you’re looking for a meaningful way to invest in your relationship, not just on Valentine’s Day, but long after, therapy can be a powerful place to start.

Use this moment as an opportunity to strengthen what you’re building together.

Humanity and kindness cost nothing, yet often return tenfold in shaping the life and relationships you want.

And if learning how to show up, for others and yourself, is something you want to do more intentionally, therapy can help build that awareness and skill.

At Talking Works, we offer supportive, accessible therapy across NYC and online, including affordable options.
