The friendship recession: Are we losing the art of connection?

People are feeling more disconnected from their friends, even though they have many.

This is happening because we spend a lot of time alone and use technology to talk to each other, which doesn't feel as real.

This makes people feel lonely and sad, even when they are talking to friends online.

It's hard to have deep conversations and feel close to friends when we are used to being alone and talking through messages.

But we can fix this by making more effort to meet friends in person and have real conversations.

Small things like sending a message or meeting for coffee can help us feel connected again.
