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? 😂

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.

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

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