the reason you feel lonely all the time - #002
from Finding Solace · host Solace
Most of us feel lonely way more often than we admit, and it’s not just “in your head” — it’s a side effect of how disconnected modern life is from the real, physical world. In this episode, I compare a simple 1980s day to a typical work-from-home, hyper-digital routine to show how screens, delivery apps, and endless scrolling pull us out of real life and leave us feeling isolated.I talk about why digital “connection” can’t replace being around actual humans, why treating your city like a sandbox instead of something you pass through can help, and how small changes like cooking your own food, talking to cashiers, becoming a regular at a local spot, or joining in-person hobbies slowly rebuild your sense of belonging. I also share how cutting back on social media and engaging more with my environment didn’t magically give me tons of friends, but it did make my loneliness fade because I finally felt like I was part of the world again.------Enjoy the show?
