Also, social media is a major contributor to the isolation epidemic going on, as is the economic situation and the work culture of countries like the US.

So what I’m saying is, you’re probably right on all accounts.

I saw a great video once that went into how the economic situation is largely responsible for the cultural shift from “adult” as a thing you are to “adulting” - a thing you do. That from Millenials onwards, generations don’t feel economically secure enough to partake in traditional cultural norms of middle-class adulthood. Things like buying a house and popping out 2.5 kids.
