Life transitions
Research consistently shows that young adults — people in their twenties and early thirties — are among the loneliest demographic groups. The social infrastructure of school and university disappears just when the expectation of social abundance is highest. Building a social life from scratch, in an unfamiliar city, with adult schedules and adult distances, is genuinely hard work.
School and university create social infrastructure automatically — forced proximity, shared schedules, institutional belonging. When that disappears, the social world has to be built deliberately and maintained effortfully. Most people are not in the same place they went to school. Jobs absorb time. Friendships that were automatic now require scheduling. The effort involved in maintaining adult friendship is significant and often underestimated.
Social media creates the impression that everyone else is thriving — surrounded by friends, going places, living fully. That impression is a performance. The gap between the social life visible on other people's screens and the actual experience of being alone in a new city on a Friday night is one of the defining loneliness of early adulthood.
