[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Same. I identify with everything you said.  I used to be social with various friend groups. I don’t know what happened…but it’s embarrassing. [b]Everyone is going out with friends and I’m always home alone.[/b] [/quote]

I don't think everyone is going out.  I could have written the OP's post and I very much agree that things changed during Covid and there are now a lot of very lonely and disconnected people.  (and yes, there are others who are very happy 
to no longer have social obligations).

I sometimes feel like I'm alone but then I look at my block.  I live in AU Park--neighborhood of families, kids, etc.  Known to be super social, etc.  Well, on a typical Friday or Saturday night EVERY single family on my block (10 families) is at home.  No one is 
entertaining.  I don't track the cars (no, I'm not a weird stalker) but I typically walk my dog around 7pm down the block and I know the cars (because I know the neighbors and day-after-day you know who drives what, etc).  Well there is no one coming or going (all cars are sitting in front of the homes) and no one is ever having a BBQ or back yard party.  We're all sitting in our homes.  
It's striking.  I really think people's socializing has been dialed way back over the past 2-3 years (by choice or not by choice)

That’s just your weird block.  Everyone I know is out all three days of the weekend including us[/quote]

I cannot relate. That sounds horrible to be out every night like that at this age. Are you in your 20’s? [/quote]

DP. In my late 30’s and have some social activity going on both days almost every weekend, not 3 days every weekend like PP, and you get used to it. It’s better than being alone and worth it to socialize our kids.[/quote]

The condescension in this post does a good job of explaining why I don’t socialize this much. I don’t want to hang out with people like this.[/quote]

Yeah. Also, “socialize our kids” makes it sound like their kids are puppies.[/quote]

Sorry, but this is why y’all are lonely. And children who are socialized properly are less likely to be lonely and defensive as adults. [/quote]

Lol still not talking about puppies, PP[/quote]

Puppies are mammals without hangups. We could learn a lot from watching them. [/quote]

Sometimes the mama dog eats her own baby puppy. Think of what we could accomplish without our pesky human “hangups”![/quote]
