I mean, if you don't feel like people are reaching out, you should reach out. Can't just sit around sad that people aren't messaging you first. Maybe they sitting around thinking the same shit.

This is what happens when a generation of kids think a number on a screen means they have a lot friends. I have like 3 really good friends, and one of them is my fiance. The rest are just friendly acquaintances or family

you people aren't making any sense
if they care about social media more than real interaction then... quarantine literally didn't change anything for them? like the people you guys are whining about are the ones who aren't even noticing a change

Chances are, like me, they never really had any friends to begin with and they're just starting to realize it.

It's a problem when it's literally only you reaching out though.

First of all, nothing I said was "whining"

And you're missing the point. I'm not talking about people getting all of their social interaction through social media. I'm talking about the culture social media cultivates of it being more important to have a lot of shallow relationships over having a few meaningful ones. Too many people are more concerned with appearing like they have furfilling social life publicly than actually having meaningful friendships.

More than a fifth also revealed the pandemic has strained existing friendships because close acquaintances have failed to reach out to them.

some people don't realize that communication goes both ways

I'm a terrible friend, tbh. I go home and go dead to the world. I was going to hang with people before it got out that this thing was more dangerous than advertised, so now I just spend time with my girlfriend and sit indoors. Which sucks, but that's how it is.
