Heute Abend gibt es mal wieder von mir einen Blogbeitrag (Lesezeit ca. 3 Min.) - es geht um Einsamkeit und Freundschaften.
Anlass dafür war ein interessantes YouTube Video der Soziologin Jen, die sich mit dem Phänomen beschäftigt, dass vor allem Leute in ihren Zwanzigern stark mit Einsamkeit zu kämpfen haben.
Hier der Blogbeitrag, das Video habe ich darin verlinkt: https://amalia-zeichnerin.net/ueber-einsamkeit-und-freundschaften/

The Viking Funeral and the Us of Us
On the last Saturday of August 2019, in a valley that had already lost the assembly plant and the regional medical center, the daily newspaper of Mahoning County, Ohio, printed its final edition. The Vindicator was a hundred and fifty years old. It had celebrated its sesquicentennial the week before it died. The announcement had come on June 28, in a letter signed by the publisher and the general manager, members of the family that had owned the paper since 1887, and the record of the letter is exact about the cause: the paper was hemorrhaging money, the family had looked for a buyer, and there was none. The letter's close is in the record too. "It is with broken hearts that we say goodbye and a final thank you." […]https://bolesblogs.com/2026/09/09/the-viking-funeral-and-the-us-of-us/

#AIgenerated #influencers, particularly on #Facebook, are using increasingly sophisticated tactics to lure in #male users, often employing #luridlanguage and #objectification. Despite the obvious artificiality of these influencers, many #oldermen seem unaware and engage with the content, highlighting a concerning #lonelinessepidemic exacerbated by #socialmedia use. https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/boomers-facebook-ai-thirst-traps?eicker.news #tech #news #ainews

idk, the #LonelinessEpidemic and the #parasocial #simping of certain humans are equally concerning and sad at once… mind my words stuff like that can make one prone to distorted #narratives and #manipulation, just sayin…
If you think you can’t be coerced into a #framed narrative, I’ve very bad news for you…

Well-connected and still lonely. The irony…
We are the most well‑connected population in history. Connection today is seen through various means — phone calls, text messages, social media, followers, engaging with content, sharing our thoughts, and discussions. Technological advancement has truly made the world a “village” and has undoubtedly made our lives easier in terms of reach and connection.
Social media has become a powerful tool for such connections. Many people have thousands of subscribers and followers, while some have gained millions. Most things have become digital, if not all.
Yet, despite being well‑connected, there is an irony. Does being well‑connected mean being satisfied and happy? Does it mean that the population who are most connected today are also the most fulfilled? The reality is different: despite this connectivity, a huge number of people feel lonely. Solitude seems to be at its peak today.
Is this a situational shift, or a deeper cultural change? Many people prefer to stay alone and avoid groups — even Gen Z is part of this trend. Are we moving toward a scenario where, despite the highest population numbers, loneliness will also be at its maximum? Isn’t that ironic?
What can be the possible reasons for this shift. People are part of the crowd and the rat race, yet solitude is increasing. Are we moving towards a solitude society? Or the society is no more reliable for in-person friendship, relationship or discussion?
Or the society is reliable for loneliness and solitude?
It may be just a question… But requires discussion to find the genuine answer.
Share your thoughts. Happy reading!

People now spend much less than 60 minutes daily with friends, a big drop from before. This makes loneliness worse.

#ScribesAndMakers Would your current creative project make a good game?
Not content-wise. Of course, using the general idea would be great to spread awareness about #AIPsychosis and the #LonelinessEpidemic, but this would have to come in a much different form. Actually, I imagined it to be a chamber play, though this will probably never be put into action

Understanding FOMO
"... stems from missing opportunities to bond with valued social groups, not with strangers or irrelevant social groups."
"#FOMO is not about the missed event per se"
But: "amplified by the prospect of your social group being there"."Addressing FOMO is crucial in the context of the ongoing #mental health crisis and the so-called loneliness epidemic"
