No doubt you’ve seen the stats and the charts, the average number of friends that people report has undergone an immense decrease since the 90s. I won’t bore you with any ‘sources,’ even without the stats can we not smell the loneliness? Does the very air of our cities not reek of friendless weirdos? As you walk the streets, do you not sense the trepidation in the eyes of passers-by as they see another human and see the shifty-eyed zoomers retreat into the shadows under our nation’s glorious bridges? No? Ok, maybe that’s just me.
