Does anyone else feel like socializing has gotten SO much harder lately??

I want to make new friends, have new experiences, meet people, even reconnect with people from my past… but why is it so damn hard??

I’ll literally just try to talk to someone in public and people are SO weird lol. It feels like nobody knows how to socialize or communicate anymore. Everyone seems awkward, guarded, distracted, or just completely in their own bubble.

Maybe it’s phones, social media, remote work, burnout, anxiety, idk… but it genuinely feels like something has changed.

Why is it so hard to make friends and actually connect with people these days?? Am I the only one noticing this 😂
