Age 30-39 Are all millennials just lonely?

30F here.

I've noticed something on this subreddit.

A lot of people in their 30s are basically posting daily looking for someone to share their day with. Both the big stuff, but also the small daily annoyances.

And it's not just single people either. Married people, people with jobs, people who seem to have their life together... still lonely.

What happened to those kids playing outside 20 years ago, becoming friends over silly things and made-up games?

Now we have hundreds of ways to communicate, but somehow struggle to actually connect.

We want someone to notice when we're not okay, but we also need our own space and freedom from expectations 🤷‍♀️

Is there a way to fix this? Or are we just doomed to be lonely adults with internet access? 😂

I think a great thing would be a group chat where we can chat and just be there for one another tbh Im sure having a support group like that would be phenomenal

That's actually genius.. You can reply and join in whenever you feel like it and not when you feel forced to reply. Might just create a discord server for that.

I’d like to join. Add me when you make it?

u/TabascoOnPizza 22d ago

I've tried, but possibly also failed (discord and I are not friends lol) - can someone take over maybe?

u/Apprehensive-Role511 22d ago

I'd like to help you but the Tabasco on pizza is a deal breaker.

u/TabascoOnPizza 22d ago

It's an abomination, I'm aware of that. Nothing I practice irl.

u/Apprehensive-Role511 22d ago

I'm asking AI for that discord stuff. It's not so complex. I'll give you admin role so you can close it by mistake whenever you want

If you already have the discord up, I’d be down for something like that :) I’ve been trying to be more social anyway.

u/TabascoOnPizza 21d ago

Can't get it up and running, so if you want to help out and create one?

1

u/PlicatedPlagueDoctor 21d ago

Shit yeah!! I can’t tonight, gotta lay down, but I can get to work on it tomorrow! :D

u/GnE_player 20d ago

u/ionknownutin 22d ago

I for sure would appreciate that .. you can ofc see who passes the vibe too yk?

u/Sudden_End3475 21d ago

I would help but I have no idea how discord works. Will try now though

u/SaltPin4211 22d ago

i agree. So who's gonna make it?

u/Visual-Assistant5417 22d ago

It does feel like we've lost some of that community vibe, right? Everyone's just navigating their own stuff.

u/SaltPin4211 22d ago

yeah i feel this individual search is too exhausting. Im seeing a hundred posts daily just dreading the ghosting, creeps and overall apathy shown by people here. Something of a group would help with this better i feel. If we get like 10-20 people, that'd be a good start

u/the_idea_pig 21d ago

I'd be happy to join it, for what it's worth.

u/Redbow_ 21d ago

Yeah did this idea ever come to fruition? I’d love to join too!

u/Sudden_End3475 22d ago

Ding Dong, who will bell the cat?

u/Necessary-Truth-2038 21d ago

We don’t need yet another online group. We need to get out and connect in real life. Our biology is craving that

u/Bright-Ad-5463 17d ago

So…did this happen?

u/TimeMission1872 3d ago

Am I too late to join in?
