Yea, no one wants to sound like a loser, so they hide that they feel lonely to avoid looking desperate while basically leaving their needs unfulfilled. I don't know how ths became the new normal, but that's where we are.
I'll tell you how many friends I consider close friends - 1 - my husband. I have friends who i've known for years, but I don't consider them close friends because they don't know very much about me and I don't know that much about them. It's bizarre to me that people would consider years-long friendships to be close (sincerely) when I know they are in similar positions.
