An Epidemic of Loneliness in America?

I'd add a fourth...People being able to interact spontaneously and without fear. It's hard to strike up a micro-conversation. People either aren't able or aren't willing.

Long to short, "friends"is two way street. And such things can't happen without communication.

This really varies a lot. In urban areas where few people are "from there", you'll find chatting with strangers happens less often.

In small towns and neighborhoods full of locals, it happens a lot more.
