And there are times, I think, where...
when you are in that life stage, you do feel lonely and yet you feel like you're not allowed to admit it.
Or at least I felt I wasn't allowed to admit it because it's meant to be.
Everyone says to you, it's the prime of your life.
You're meant to be always doing exciting things.
I remember one time
was in my late 20s i guess and i lived alone and um weekends were in particular quite challenging for me i guess in part because i'm an extrovert and i felt like i needed to always line up plans and one sunday the only plan i had was dinner with a friend and that was actually not very many plans for me and then the friend cancelled on me that afternoon she lived with her boyfriend i remember that little detail so i was like so you've been with your boyfriend a weekend and then she cancelled on me
And of course, she's allowed to cancel.
But like, I just saw this expanse of time stretching out ahead of me.
And it was really kind of confronting.
So when I watched these videos, it took me back to that time.
Which is why I like Em's point that this is... I think that's so interesting what you point out about how for many young people of a particular age group, this is actually comforting to them because it's all they've really ever known.
So it's one thing for...
you, Claire, or for another millennial to say, you've got to go and make the effort to make friends.
But it seems like they maybe didn't have those experiences at the most formative time.
The only thing I worry about for them is that they may be creating a bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Because Lana's solo life, who I think is broadly credited as starting the Lonely Influencer trend, excluding UM, of course.
She copied you.
She lives in Toronto and she really has mastered the genre.
She kind of just makes heating up a frozen pizza look really serene and tranquil.
