"I have no friends"- it's a trend and worse than you think

I recently made the video "18 years old- I have no friends". I'd love to say it was an original video idea, but truthfully, I've watched a lot of videos like it. Whilst every story is different, one thing is strikingly similar- the video's popularity. Videos about having no friends do pretty well on YouTube, some have gone viral and garnered millions of views even for a small YouTube channel. The YouTube algorithm makes it look like a trend. In reality, it's a loneliness epidemic.


Whilst I'm grateful that people related to my story and that I'm not alone in feeling like I struggle to make friends, it's pretty sad that this is where we are. In today's video I wanted to explore why so many of us feel this way, and what we can do to make things better.
