it just seems like loneliness and isolation is an increasing problem in our postmodern world. i literally have no clue what the fuck is causing it, is it partially because we're just buried on our devices all the time? or because people are constantly moving around to different places that it becomes increasingly difficult to put down roots into a community and be a part of it?
i put it on myself to go out there and get involved: volunteer, go out to shows/events, attend meetups, etc. it's a lot harder to find a consistent group of people you see as an adult
