Growing Up Means Learning How to Be Lonely. AI-Generated.
In my opinion, loneliness in adulthood doesn’t come from having no one, but from being asked to carry too many things on our own. Life changes slowly, not through big events, but through routines that get heavier and distances that grow without us noticing. Friends who were once easy to meet now have to fit into schedules, responsibilities, and their own exhaustion. It’s not that they don’t care—life is simply asking too much from everyone, including ourselves.
