I think technology is the reason we're lonely. We can talk to people without seeing them or hearing their voice, we can ghost on people while talking to them, we can easily find another event or person to hang out with that isn't you, dating is entirely and solely based on physical attraction and swiping either way on someone's picture, you can look at other people from up to 50, 100 miles away if you want where we just had social circles and 'tribes' before. I've given up on dating here in Seattle, it's extremely tough even as a lesbian here. Our social lives are fairly superficial I feel. I feel like I'm now part of the Seattle freeze after 3 years, but it's not exactly hard to make friends here. I'm extremely shy and have bad social anxiety, but managed to make quality lasting friends when I got here by using Reddit, Facebook groups, and meetup (no longer use any of these, so add +50 depression points). Most still talk to me and hang out with me frequently. It's also rainy, dark, with crippling depression for 9/12 months.
