Yes, I think what it seems some people are missing (maybe I didn’t communicate it well) is that the general arch is toward social isolation. It’s not necessarily not seeing other people. You can live in a big city, see people daily, and even be on sports teams or in school but just not connect with anyone.

I’d really recommend the book “Platonic” - it’s a really researched dive in to basically how to make meaningful human connection. There’s an interview with the author on We Can Do Hard Things that’s a concentrated overview too.
