Loneliness is so common! Maybe its countercultural or hypocritical to tell people to put their phones down especially on social media. However, the reality of what is going on among is just to scary not to. I know it can be hard to put yourself out there. I find it to so difficult to strike up a conversation with people I don't know but hearing how bad things are getting and how many people feel unseen gives me courage to try. You never know what difference that conversation might make in that person's life. Link to WHO report: https://www.who.int/groups/commission-on-social-connection/report
