"There is something beautiful about the time when you could text a friend the day of and you could hang. Now I have to book events like a work meeting,"
"That's me. It all happened in the span of like 18 months too. I went from having fun with a pretty large and close friend group almost every weekend and feeling like I had a very full life to barely seeing any of them ever and spending 95% of my life either at work or at home alone."
Spontaneous hangouts occurred when a person could text a friend the same day and easily meet. Scheduling of social events now resembles booking work meetings. Many individuals experienced a rapid shift over approximately eighteen months from frequent weekend gatherings with a large, close friend group to rare in-person contact. Weekend social activities that once made life feel full have diminished significantly. Current daily routines often consist predominantly of work and solitary time. Some people estimate spending about ninety-five percent of their time either at work or at home alone.
