Episode 4: Male Loneliness, Online Communities, and the Search for Connection
from storychaser · host storychaser
One in four American men under 35 report feeling lonely. When they go online seeking answers, some find communities that can turn pain into ideology. We speak anonymously with a 27-year-old man caught in that tension: he identifies as a feminist, struggles with social cues, and has spent years in incel-exit and incel-reform communities. A conversation about how autism intersects with the male loneliness epidemic and why some men find these digital spaces so appealing.
