N2  - Generation Z, born between the mid-1990s and early 2010s, experiences complex ambivalence due to entering early adulthood (ages 18-25). This phase is marked by tension between physical energy and psychological vulnerability, exacerbated by intensive dependence on social media such as TikTok, a short video platform with exciting music that is very popular with Generation Z. However, TikTok also has the potential to trigger self-delusion, a false belief that is far from reality because much of the content on TikTok depicts various information about ideal life and health diagnoses that shape this delusional belief. Therefore, a strong self-healing response is needed among Generation Z as a form of resilience and a way to overcome self-delusion. Thus, this study aims to explore the forms of self-delusion that arise among Generation Z in their use of TikTok and to understand how self-healing mechanisms emerge as a response to self-delusion.
This research is qualitative with a phenomenological approach, focusing on the subjective experiences of Generation Z individuals. Data was obtained through in-depth interviews with 10 Generation Z informants selected through purposive sampling. This was followed by data analysis techniques in the form of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing to answer the research questions.
The results of this study reveal, first, that the dominant delusions among Generation Z in their use of TikTok include delusions of guilt, namely feelings of guilt over one's own unproductiveness; hypochondriacal delusions, namely self-diagnosis regarding health; delusions of jealousy, namely pathological suspicion of one's partner or friends due to coincidental content; persecutory delusions, an interpretation of general comments as personal attacks, grandiose delusion, in the form of a belief that one is special, and erotomanic delusion, which is the belief that there is a special relationship with a TikTok creator. However, the results of the study also show that not all Generation Z experience self-delusion because they think critically about reality and only use TikTok purely for entertainment. Second, the self-healing response mechanisms of Generation Z to self-delusion include gratitude, which is a sense of gratitude for health, family, and small achievements, strong self-compassion in the form of affirmative acceptance of human emotions, positive self-talk in the form of internal dialogue with the aim of calming oneself, simple mindfulness in the form of breathing exercises and clearing the mind, religious-behavioral coping in the form of praying and pursuing hobbies, and expressive writing in the form of pouring out all feelings in the form of reflective writing. This study confirms that Generation Z relies heavily on personal and spiritual self-regulation strategies to mitigate the impact of delusions and the pressure of ?ideal? life standards found on TikTok social media.
