Social life in America is changing in ways that are not so subtle. As large groups and calendars of events give way to shrunken circles, a softer meetup and more deliberate connections, it is time to take a breath. A lot of people are opting to be comfortable rather than fit in the small place or content themselves with talking on the chat rather than meaningful conversation. Social relationships and friendships have come to be affected by changing working practices, an increasing sense of stress and the effects of digital fatigue. Americans aren't looking to go on a lot of busy weekends, but they are finding alternative means of connection that are more personally and emotionally manageable. Socializing isn't what it used to be several years ago and has evolved dramatically, from private dinner nights to hobby-based social groups.
