Unclear. I know my post was a bit curmudgeonly, but my point was, people and friends exist outside of the phone and the comfort of our homes. Even if you meet someone on an app you must leave the safety of your home. COVID-19 obviously complicated this. I think a lot of people stuck in this loop with their devices and lives would be well served to take up hobbies that force you to meet and interact with other humans. That is a starting point, as COVID-19 winds down. Nothing ventured, nothing gained and this applies for social networking as well. Real life rejection is also much less common outside of dating. It’s a skill and you can’t learn it on apps. Even as introverts, it’s worth it to find your social groove and things that work for you. I think cities can be more isolating in a lot of ways.
