It’s sort of a strange poll, though, because it also revealed that 25 percent of millennials also claim to have “no acquaintances,” which at first seemed a little dark but then began to seem almost impressive.
The poll of course also makes me wonder how many friends I have. Too many? Not enough? Compared to other millennials , I’m more or less straight down the middle, with at least a dozen friends, a few close friends, and thousands of acquaintances. Thirty percent of millennials also said they “always” or “often” feel lonely, whereas 15 percent of baby boomers reported feeling that way. Rather than be too depressing, though, the news of millennial loneliness is supposedly mitigated by the fact that early adulthood is a notoriously lonely time, or at least it was in the ’90s, too.
