[FONT=&quot][FONT=&quot]More than 20% of millennials surveyed in a YouGov poll released this week claimed that they don’t have a single friend. And less than a third of Millennials said they have double-digit friends, according to the data, culled online in early July.

Well, I think the big issue is actually that social media shows an idealized version of other peoples lives. If you've got some issues and everything else looks perfect, that can be tough. Many studies have shown this is a big reason why depression is on the rise amongst Gen-Z'ers.

I think even the people that say they have no friends probably do have "friends" but it is more acquaintances.

Not many people have someone like AC Cowlings willing to drive down the LA freeway after you made the biggest mistake of your life. Those type of bonds are what keep people from detaching from society.

Donkey Donger fits the classic profile of every mass shooter.

- lazy millennial
- manic depressive
- no social skills and lives in isolation
- major anger issues
- pathological liar
- heavily medicated on powerful mind-altering drugs that skew reality
- unemployed and still living with his parents
- Russia conspiracy nut job Rachel Maddow blow up doll in his closet

Yep, fits the profile perfectly.

[FONT=Verdana,Tahoma,Arial,Calibri,Geneva,sans-serif]I had a discussion with my neighbor, the black militant fellow. We were taking about
this very subject. He said he would like to think we were friends and I said an acquaintance
when he found out you were in jail would tell your wife so she could bail you out but a
friend would bail you out himself and keep his mouth shut.

He thought about it for awhile and just shook his head and smiled.

A STAGGERING nine in ten young Brits believe their life lacks purpose, according to a new study.

A UK wide survey reveals the extent to which the younger generation feel disillusioned, with the MAJORITY (89 percent) of 16-29 year olds, claiming their life lacks purpose or meaning.

the activity of mixing socially with others is a art form that is being lost , the new generations is losing these skill and they don't care, They don't know how to greet correctly , they don't know how to tranistion a conversation, They don;t practice conversation, its a skill and should be practice infront of mirror an hour a day, steal of the people chat "so and so was just s sating ", make culture reference , chat need be a pre written script with with a few adlibs.

Ever go to a hot bar lately? Late 20's and 30's guys and gals?
Good looking young ladies, dressed to kill, sit there with girlfriends and do texting for hours, most guys do not even have the nerve to interrupt.
Hilarious.
