Abstract Researchers have avoided utilising grounded theory due to its viewed complexity of having both evolved and stayed the same since 1967. Navigating the giants of grounded theory takes patience to wade through its density and various approaches, however, the research outcome supersedes this. The statistical fact Generation Z is the most anxious cohort fueled this study to obtain data to further understand this phenomenon within the context of social media engagement. This study has adopted the constructivist grounded theory approach which requires an open mind to hear participants, without the influence of previous theories and literature intruding on the study. The data from the ground is systematically obtained, iteratively and comparatively analysed while being co-constructed with the researcher towards building a theory. The iterative data that has been collected and analysed for phase one and phase two reveals the significance of obtaining data from the ground.
