The Situation

"He refuses to try my hobbies because they're 'for Gen Z'"

The Brutal Truth

He thinks your interests are childish or beneath him, showing a lack of respect for your passions and a significant disconnect in your relationship. This attitude reflects his insecurity and snobbery, not your worth.

❌ What NOT to Do (Anxious Response)

An anxious person might try to convince him that she's cool and that he should appreciate or accept her hobbies, desperately seeking validation and approval. This is counterproductive; it cheapens her self-worth.
