It seems that we have everything for communication: social networks, messengers, dating apps. We can write to anyone, at any time. But the more of these opportunities we have, the less often we really use them.

Maybe we have just become too selective?

People used to meet people more easily. Some lived in the neighborhood, some studied at the same university, worked in the same office. We accepted those who were nearby and built relationships. But now we know that "somewhere out there" there may be someone better, smarter, more beautiful. And so we take our time, wait for the perfect match, are afraid of making a mistake. The result is loneliness.

Or maybe it's the rhythm of life?

We are so caught up in work, goals, self-development that there is simply no room for personal life. We think: "Just a little bit more, I'll achieve success, sort things out - and then I'll start looking for love." But this "little bit" can last for years.

Or are we just afraid to get closer?

After disappointments, unsuccessful relationships or just the habit of being alone, it becomes difficult to open up to another person. It seems to us that it is easier to remain alone than to take risks again, to go through pain or disappointment again.

But maybe it is still worth the risk? After all, a person is a social creature, and loneliness, no matter how habitual it has become, still does not make us happy.

And why do you think there are so many lonely people now? ✨
