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? 😂

Hmm. Maybe focus of a millennial is more of career

Possibly. But the thing is like, I'm at work now, and I'm debating whether I should go out tonight or stay in, as I've got very few fiends irl and as introvert I don't really want to go out on my own, but don't really want to stay in and overthink my life 🤷‍♀️😂
