I suddenly found that as time goes by, my circle of friends in the real world becomes more and more fixed. As people age, they become more and more lonely.
Is your social life also shrinking offline, and most of it is online?

I think it's normal and always has been. We get more rigid mentally as we age. On the playground they were all our "friends" but grumpy old men are pickier.
😂 I'm so young. How can I be an old man?
I think it's gradual. At kindergarten, "friend" is the default. At school you get more selective. After university it gets hard to meet people and at some age, you decide to never pardon some friends or family and stupid stuff like that.
Yes, there are many hobbies during student life, and you can meet many people through different communities and hobbies. After entering the workplace, work and family will occupy most of your life. You have a strong purpose in doing everything. It is difficult to meet long-term friends with a strong purpose.
