Why Young People Feel More Alone Than Ever (And What Attachment Style Has to Do With It)

We are more connected than ever… yet young people feel more alone than ever. In this episode of Everything Is Personal, Len May sits down with Dr. Jack Hinman to explore what’s really driving this disconnect—and it goes far deeper than social media or screen time. This conversation uncovers how early experiences, family dynamics, and environment quietly shape the way we relate to others for the rest of our lives. At the center of it all is attachment style, the unconscious blueprint formed in childhood that influences how we trust, communicate, and build relationships. From anxious to avoidant patterns, Dr. Hinman explains how these hidden drivers impact confidence, emotional resilience, and the ability to feel truly connected. They also break down how modern lifestyles may be reinforcing disconnection, why traditional paths to community are eroding, and what young people actually need to feel seen, safe, and supported in today’s world. This episode is both eye-opening and deeply personal, offering a new lens on relationships, identity, and why real human connection is not optional… it is foundational to who we become.
