I think it's a combination of many things from social media, to the lackluster economy.
In many ways technology has made us less human and less tolerable of other people. We are becoming like the humans from Wall-E where they are content to eat and watch slop all day, even losing the ability to walk and think because the machines can do it for them. We are becoming mean, self absorbed blobs!
All this technology has made our lives so frictionless and easy. Everything can be done with our phones that in many people's minds humans are "obsolete". Which I disagree with, but I'm not better too. I struggle with making friends and maintaining connections, it's so hard but it's something I would want to change as well. I guess it's just a sign of the times, and zoomers, hell other generations too need to try our hardest to connect with our fellow humans.
I was on sub stack and some put it perfectly: " We must resist the pull of the machine." And that's the struggle being human today and why making human connection is so hard. Our machines are so designed to be so alluring that we must fight against it to stay human.
