American millennials have "no friends

 

People are more and more attention to the prevailing sense of loneliness in our society. A recent poll from Cigna YouGov, Pew Research Center, Research Company. In a nationwide survey conducted in the United States, more than 20,000 Americans aged 18 and over said that most American millennials are considered lonely. 30% of millennials (23-38 years old) always or often feel lonely. Among people in this age group, about one-fifth said they had no friends, while 27% said they had no close friends, 30% said they had no “best friends”, and these numbers were far Much higher than other generations.

 

Firstly discuss causes and effects of loneliness.

 

Social media

There is a causal relationship between the time spent on social media and the decline in lonely. People feel that the number of friends they want is a lot more. They also tend to compare themselves with others, and this process by social media that makes people feel lonely is greatly exacerbated.

 

Financial pressure

The countless financial problems faced by millennials: student debt, health care, childcare, and expensive housing costs. Also, because of the increasing workload, limited personnel and resources, and longer working hours, this has also become an increasingly serious problem. And millennials suffer higher levels of loneliness than other generations. The phenomenon is attributed to the growth experience of millennials, the economic environment in which they grew up, social media, and the anxiety of direct tasks.

 

Discuss two solutions of loneliness.

 

Pay attention and care who care about us

That is to say, we transform the "desire for love" of others into "love for ourselves." Because it is not easy to get attention from another, it is better to pay attention to ourselves, understand ourselves, and accept ourselves. It must be obtained through realistic efforts. In other words, we can increase our value through hard work in real life. At this time, someone will pay attention to us. "Love ourselves " is a topic that is often discussed. It is difficult for a person who does not love ourselves to get the love of another, so this problem should be solved in the end by loving himself. "Loving ourselves " means trying to make ourselves a better life, slowly respecting ourselves from the heart, learning to see own good and ignoring own bad.

 

Back to offline life

The Internet provides more social channels for people, but the relationship between people seems to be getting more and more distant. We are even less willing to be intimate with people. We must find ways to improve life quality-have more meaningful conversations and make closer friends. For example, to meet with people you know online, carpool together, and form an offline interest group through the Internet, then the Internet will make us feel less lonely.

 

In conclusion, Millennials are changing the way people see and talk about mental health. Loneliness has caused this generation to suffer, and the reasons are related to problems such as Internet access and financial pressure. Millennials are also eager for a perfect life. When they feel that they have not met their expectations, they will seek help.
