    Community isn’t an i love dogs group on Facebook. Gen z doesn’t seem to understand that.

    I have the opposite problem. I love my own company and hate intrusion. I don't like phone calls or random visitors. I find it hard to motivate myself to leave the house. Social withdrawal I've heard it called. I loved lockdown!

      I was learning to get out of isolation and then lockdown started and the world had to live the way i live all my life rofl. Had to make no changes. Was frustrating because i was just starting to get out more and mingle with some few people 😵‍💫

    Boomers are not good at making connections online but they're good at making connections in person. Millenials and Gen Z are the opposite. Problem is, making connections online doesn't fulfill that lonely void cause you need that face to face interaction. And it's hard for boomers to make connections in person nowadays because what was once considered normal when they were young doesn't apply anymore and can often be misinterpreted with the younger generation.

    Here's a thought: Shut down the computer and join a church. I'm a boomer and I have tons of friends.

      Agree but not the church part. Cults love lonely people. Better yet is a hobby.

      @@distracted5767 Indeed, they do so you make a good point but there are plenty of options that don't involve someone trying to control you. It's actually not too difficult to distinguish between the two. First, stay inside the lines with a Protestant denominational church or healthy non denom or even your local Catholic church. Avoid the fringe, odd and pseudo Christian groups.

      As someone who is gen z. You know that if your interested in something you know where to go for friends! Like Discord and all that!
