      Hard to make friends with an attention span of 45 seconds.

      Relationships have become mostly transactional: people weigh up what they can gain from beeing your friend or how beeing associated with you affects their social status

      It’s harder than people realise.

      You go to work, while you get on with people there, a lot of people want to keep work and non work seperate.

      Depending what your hobbies are, your “friends” could be the opposite end of the country.

      If you have a relationship break down then half the friends you thought you had, disappear.

      Article talks about social groups on FB for people to meet and how a lot of people after the university struggle to find friends so they turn to said groups. 

      How did people make friends at that age before the social media were a thing? Usually it was meeting your wife at uni and then making few friends at work and then most of your life was work and kids. 

      People nowadays are having kids later or not at all and they want to continue socialising.

      I think there are a lot of small factors which help to create this problem.

      People have less money now to go out with people in the evening.

      People have less hobbies such as sports classes nowadays which is a way to meet new people.

      People change jobs a lot more often now so are less likely to develop work friendships. The next job could be in a different part of the country making us have to start all over again.

      “Are **we**…”

      Heck no! Don’t project your own problems and shortcomings onto everyone else

      It is SO HARD to make friends as an adult. Even if you join hobby groups, in my experience people are already in friend groups and they arent super welcoming. It just becomes harder the older we get.

      Judging by the number of posts on local city subs from folks in their 20s and 30s saying “i need to make friends” (but using more words) then Id say probably, yes.

      Is the ability to socialise and network something else covid killed?

      I’m at university and it feels like the vast majority of people just don’t know to interact or start conversations.

      I attend sports clubs and several societies, most people are just standing around awkwardly in silence, all of the conversation will be between a very small handful of chatty people. When they try to engage in conversation with the quieter people, they’ll barely get any response. When a social event is organized, everyone sits around a pub table in silence, often on phones, looking at social media or dating apps. In lectures, people will sit down next to you and won’t even make eye contact let alone say hello.

      Was it always like this?
