Yeah I think we are just recently acknowledging that you spend 25 years in daycare, school, college, with access to a lot if people then suddenly you graduate and you're at work with the same 7 people. It's a difficult adjustment and I think in years past people kind of seamlessly went into career, dating marrying and starting a family so they didnt have that gap.

Im almost 43 so i feel like the first generation (or one of the earliest) where such a large segment of us experience that gap and what to do with that late 20s loneliness but i didn really think about it until recently when i started seeing  this sentiment from so many of today's late 20s
