Why We're Losing Friends as We Get Older | Ep 46 | Clueless & Loud

Welcome back to Clueless & Loud Today we're asking a big question: Why are we losing friends as we get older? Back in the 90s, the average person had close to five close friends. Today that number has dropped to two — and 12% of adults now report having zero close friends, compared to just 3% in 1990. Nobody really noticed it happening... until now. We break down the actual psychology behind how friendships form, why school and university were basically a "cheat code" for making friends, and why that system completely falls apart once you hit the real world. ⏱️Chapters: 00:00 Intro 01:08 Why We're Losing Friends As We Get Older 01:40 Friendship – 3 Key Ingredients 04:53 "Cheat Code" for Friendship 08:19 Work Culture, Business & Friendship 10:33 The Social Media Friendship Illusion 12:57 What Real Friendship Means 17:22 Pranks, Fights & Old-School Friendships 22:43 Why Friendships Fall Apart 29:33 The Loneliness Epidemic 38:00"Will Our Friendship Last?" 47:55 Outro 🟡 New Episodes every Sunday 🔴 Daily shorts across all platforms 🔵 Keep an eye out for our special videos and reacts *Follow & support us here:* Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7wBfCJV...
