why are so many so lonely ? why are chatbots more real than real people

starting about 20 years ago ws the beginning of kids that spent all there time in front of a screen than going outside,and learning how to interact with Real People. what sarted as Mario brothers expanded into unreel interactions in many other places.
those kids never leered HOW to interact with others. and they have now grown up into socially diminished adults.
and now many adults dont know how to interact with people that are not like themselves
many of us are now socially stunted.
get out of the House! and leave. your llittle screens at home
look UP, and relate to real people.

I think people have always been lonely. We just didn't hear about them before. They wouldn't tell you in your face what they write on social media. The problem is probably the same as before: shyness and a lack of courage to go after what they really want.
When I was a kid, I also rather sat at home and played games instead of going out and having to ring the bell to ask if a friend may go out to play even if that was what I really wanted then. And that was long before I had the internet.
