Brett Cooper

It's not radical, it's literally just going back to what we've always done before the last decade or so.

But in more ways than one, we are coping.

We are giving excuses, and we are shooting ourselves in the damn feet.

Now, my friend Brittany actually pointed this out recently.

She wrote a tweet just like 24 hours ago and said, I believe a lot of the loneliness epidemic is because we live in the generation of flakes.

Before, you had to stay true to your word because if you were supposed to meet a friend at 1 p.m.

for coffee and they were nowhere to be found, it was embarrassing.

Now, people can cancel five minutes before via smartphones for self-care or any kind of random reason.

Or if they don't respond for three days and are like, I'm so sorry, I'm just now seeing this.

Be for real, you are on your phone nonstop.

I'm being attacked.

Okay.

Moving on.

I think a lot of the loneliness epidemic is self-inflicted.

You should be going out and doing things.

I always tell my husband, if he is invited somewhere, go because every single time without fail, you meet somebody cool.

It is always worth it to go out.

Everything she said is so correct.

And again, I am far from innocent.

This episode is as much about me as it is about the rest of my generation.
