The average american adult went from socializing with friends and family 12+ hours a week few decades ago to less than 4.
- tnel77 3y agoOne complaint I have is that it feels like I have to put in almost all the work to make plans with friends and family. Also, these plans must be well in advance. My immediate family and I might decide to go to a park and I’ll text a friend that lives nearby. “Hey, if you’re looking for an excuse to get out of the house we will be at <park>.” No one has ever taken us up on this kind of invitation even though they’ll later complain about being bored or needing to get out.
