With cell phones and a plethora of social media how can loneliness be epidemic in the US?

The situation is probably different for different age groups but i find most people i know in real life no longer have time to meet up with anyone outside of their family, so just say, sure i'm happy to talk... on facebook later tonight, whereby they won't actually have time to have a real conversation but just say oh hey we really need to catch up sometime when i'm not so busy.

I’m sure a person can feel loneliness in a room full of people, lotsa family even, if you feel your world is falling apart.

because technology has taken away the need to interact personably . you no longer have to communicate face to face

all of those sites are pointless when no one will talk to you

You aren't really connecting when it's on a superficial social media level it takes a real connection to not feel alone

For everything technology gives us it takes twice as much away.

🤯right?

Because they’re not interacting directly with ppl

Lack of sleep

Internet and social media are not real connecting with other people🙄
