Americans are choosing to be alone, but we should reverse that
I live in a big city, but I'm terribly lonely.- I live alone.
- I work hybrid, but when I go into the office, it's more or less empty and I spend all my time on zoom calls.
- My family lives far away.
- I'm single.Most weeks, my only social interaction is at the local bar, where I'm a regular, or various dates from apps. Excesses of both of these is unhealthy in different ways.I've been pushing myself to go to meetups and hobby groups, but my hobbies are mostly solo ones (probably a bi-product of spending time alone), and I have terrible decision paralysis. It ends up being a lot of work, and not at all something I'm excited about or that seems _fun_.I don't really have a solution here, but something tells me I'm not alone in being in this situation.
