The loneliest generation in America

It’s a global phenomenon now. People can relate better through social media than in person. Younger ones don’t even know how how to do small talk in gathering or functions. They don’t play outdoors and only stick to gadgets .Parents find it hard to teach this small things to children. Thus outcome is no social connect and a mentally weak generation !! Pity
"The most important contributor to joy and success in adult life is love ( or, in theoretical terms, attachment)." [Triumphs of Experience] I strongly believe that social media is a tool not a way of living. I agree that you can 'connect' through it, but disagree that you can truly, most of the time, develop a relationship that is meaningful. That leads to a lack of 'attachment' and a lonely life. My opinion doesn't address why or how one becomes lonely, nor does it find them entirely culpable, that would be a complex opinion/comment. Without the filters and lenses that comes between the post and the reader, we are very much all the same, we are very similar and predictive beings, with comparable limitations.
Advent of technology creates too much reliance on instantaneous information exchange without the social in-person interaction humanity needs for proper cognitive development leading to concentration issues, diminished processing capabilities, and sloth-like behavior. In layman terms, no one tries anymore to communicate and involving themselves in non-verbal communication. Peesonally, I like my solitude. There is too much of the wrong thing going on to wanna involve myself. (edited)
It is a strange phenomenon. As a parent and Gen-X’er, I struggle to understand why this type of lifestyle is so appealing???
Wow
Could it be all the electronics? Social media are not true friends in your life. It is not just generation Z.
We, the older generation, have partly contributed to this and can play a part in reversing the unhealthy trend: Talk to a kid...spend time with them and encourage health social interactions among kids, from an early age
I hear access to friendship . I do not think interactive friendship is remotely close to interpersonal relationships. Our society moves at too fast a pace.
You forgot the case when that someone (Mr,Mrs YesWewill) has added one another (Mr,Mrs YesChitchat) and she/he considers one another for its worth, when actually one considers that someone as one of those who added him/her for the reasons you quoted or think that's why he/she's being "friended"and indeed neglects the relationship. When we are sur rounded by Mr/Mrs YesChitchat, indeed loneliness happens...
Artem Mashkov It takes tenacity, self distance/growth and time to apply that statement. And each individual is not equal toward building such connections. We have to keep that in mind no matter where we're from (manhattan, soweto, cité soleil... ) or even which generation we belong to: X, Y, Z ; The stones, Britney, Bieber; type writer, fax, web etc.
Think good for others which would motivate you to do good to others and you will not fee lonly.
This is shocking to me. It seems Seniors and the younger generations are suffering from loneliness the most.
Bingo!
