Feeling Alone: When Your Phone is Full of Doctors' Numbers

I feel that. I have many numbers in my phone but none of them are people I talk to. There’s probably one number that’s a person who still talks to me.

I have 4 "associates", but I can't really call them friends necessarily. A total of 15 contacts in all. The remaining 11 are divided nearly equal between neighbors and family.

People only talk to me in person or social media

Im the same way. I only have my aunts, my bf, and one friend. The rest is just social media in general. I think tv made us think real life was like friends or those sitcoms we grew up with but I think for millennials at least it’s not always like that. And I hear a lot of horror stories anyway. I think I was actually lucky.

I have hundreds of contacts but can't say how many friends. Maybe 2-3 currently. Between doctors and co-workers, and places and Email contacts..... different organizations ...
