  Its obviously complex and multifaceted. But Carl jung had a great quote which i think sits at the heart of it: &apos;a society has to live close to its nature to be functional&apos;<br> Ultimately, we are moving away from our nature on so many levels. It&apos;s no surprise so many of us are mentally and spiritually struggling

  I would say a lack of connection with others is a large reason why more people are depressed.

  What I get from this : instant gratification leads to an unstable identity, which leads to despair, anxiety, etc.

  People need, above all else, nature and community.

  I have 1 friend at the moment, and he’s also in pretty bad shape. We meet up once a week on the weekend. It’s hard meeting new people and forming new connections at 21, especially because I feel so behind the people around me. But progress is progress. 6 months ago I had no friends. No one to rely on. 1 for now is a huge step.

  I used to worry I&apos;d end up alone, but I ended up with people that make me feel alone.<br>Where is my tribe?

  A child that is abandoned by society will burn it down to feel its warmth.

  People are depressed because of social media. It creates the illusion that you have community when you really don’t. You see the highlight reels and wonder, “why isn’t my life that exciting?” <br><br>People have lost the confidence and don’t know how to talk to people in person anymore. It’s really sad.

  None of us seem to be happy. No friends, no relationships and worked to the bone.

  I’ve honestly been so fucking lonely since about 2019. When the pandemic and lockdowns eased up in 2021, every social structure I had seemed to fall apart. I’ve lost so many people and important relationships in my life that I have no idea how to recover. It’s a genuinely scary prospect to consider, but I have no idea how to sort this out.

  I&apos;m beyond lonely living in isolation, I left my apartment 4 times last year, and I am 28.
