Summary
FriendZone | Make Friends ⋅ Fun Chill Active Chat ⋅ VC Social Gaming ⋅ Memes ⋅ Nitro Emojis ⋅ Anime hosts a deep discussion on the modern loneliness epidemic. The community explores why authentic connection feels increasingly difficult despite being more digitally connected than ever. This conversation highlights the struggle of maintaining true selves behind social media masks and the challenges of forming real-world friendships in an era dominated by screens.
The world Is currently facing a loneliness epidemic which should not have been the case because we have never been more connected to each other in history ever before.
We know we are loved by people and that we love some people but those who love us don't know what we really are!!
We often times live with defensive walls made by us to defend ourselves from the horrors of society.
Certainly people feel lonely now because they fake themselves all the time to get along with other fake people, and with social media(the fake platform) we are so far away from reality.
At the end of the day it is only you who knows what you really are, a pathetic person or a person who is worthy and deserving of true human connection.....
What comes to your mind people, do share!!!!
I would like to know your opinion my man!!
Ofc it's you ligma lol, I should have known you'll say that!!!
Oh okay, Nice to know!!
I heard about it and makes so much sense
Yeah and nah they fake being around people to gain something
Yeah man!! Tough times for people right now!!
Have you noticed more people are afraid to talk to others offline??
People can only talk through a screen now lol!!
Yup, but that's just 1 side of the story!!
The other side is what others would think about them if they were to be exposed!!
No one would like to be excluded from the social group
Yes
Nah there is one thing i disagree with which is tough times these times ain't tuff you literally get order food through you phone in old times they had to hunt there food plus it was about survival you don't eat you die
Not talking about tough in that sense, sure it has become easy if we compare olden times in that regard.
Talking about how humanity has come to the point were they find it so very difficult to form connection and friendship
I mean yeah if everything is online why would I try to talk online or irl
Yeah makes sense lol, but sure enough offline relationships and friendships could effect and influence you more than online ones haha
Not true for every case tho.
Yeah but honestly very rare to find
From what I know my friend you have struggled with the same problem in younger days(offline friendships and all), Care to tell me your thoughts and what is your opinion now??
Is it valuable and how influential is it??
Am not saying it couldn't work i have many online friends but what i mean is it's hard to make a connection with them as friends bc you don't see them and probably you don't even know how they look i feel like it makes it harder for the connection as friends to continue i mean am not saying you have to but that's my opinion
Yup well said, definitely connection in online is hard!!!
As difficult as it is there are other factors that can make it a nightmare to form connection too lol, for example the different time zones, misunderstanding through words and the most important is life making you busy!!
When you get busy with life you stop giving time to online chatting and connection I guess....
Yeah..
Phones
The very cause of it
Food, good sleep Nd some cash
The solution 
Oh. Also gaming with buddies at home
Or watching a bunch of anime
Loneliness is has to do with people being there but you still feel alone
So people might be the problem Nd solution maybe
But me who's tired of talking
Find other things to occupy my time
Time flies
No the loneliness epidemic is fake, or is it most ppl have no friends these days
They should go out and talk to ppl then
Compulsory?
If I had to choose btw watching a movie Nd going out 
Not if they like being alone, that's diff from being lonely
Alright
Do I like to be alone. Not really, probably just have stuffs to do ig
I like being alone but socialising is also good, if ppl want friends then they need to push themselves a bit, I did this after ages and was able to make a friend group, even if I'm considered an 'introvert' by them
But it's tiring
Having to talk to people
True, socialising isn't always all that great
Yeah.
Although, fams is a different cases
When I'm home for holiday
Yeah true, phones are a major if not the major issue!!!
And you put it nicely my man- people might be tge problem and also the solution.
Yeah it can be exhausting to socialize so you can fill in with other interesting things!!
There is a difference between being lonely and being alone!!!
It certainly is the case that most people don't have friends these days- they struggle to make friends!!!
It is a situation created by many factors but the result is visible in many things- people can become very emotionally unavailable now(lack of interaction with others does this to them)....
Yope
Always have something doing
My goal is to make 20 chess variants before the end of this year
Already did two

Yeah, you speak correctly!!
Everything is too expensive now lol.
Yeah I know it's hard but keep trying though, it's worth it....
Many late Millennials are living with their parents or even early millennials as of now
Everything rn is just so expensive
We’re kinda like near the great depression of this era
Shut up with the brainrot
Its 2026
Not 2024
Or 2025
Yeh, where have we come lol, older generation had like almost everything by 30s- they had houses, families etc.
For us it's doomed lol, so hard now a days for meeting those needs even in 30s which by the way our parents achieved in their 20s.
Ok
