More than two-thirds of Americans do not socialize at all on an average day, while their screen time has soared in the past 10 years, according to bombshell survey findings.
A top psychologist told The Post that Gen Z has been particularly impacted by the lack of social engagement.
“They struggle to form social connections as easily,” said William Chopik, associate professor of psychology and a data scientist at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri.
Only 30% of Americans overall engaged in socializing or communicating on an average day in 2025, down from 38% in 2015, according to figures from the American Time Use Survey.

Does Facebook count?
Only if you have a “personal” relationship with it.
I agree. There are slim pickens today of the human species that most normal people would even want to ackowledge exist, much less have discourse with in any form. The dumb-ass-crats have turned this world into a pile of crap. I’m 70+ and have no desire to associate with the freaks of the world. I am tired of used ass-wipes as being part of society and extremely tired of the political used ass-wipes who are worthless in toto. They are not even worth being utilized as a natural form of fertilzer. They are poison to the earth in ALL forms. Darwin needs to speed up the natural selection process real fast.
Perfect example of non socializing has done to America
Yesterday in Food Lion on Tilghman Road I shopping, and the place was packed; without enough registers open…
I saw long lines, other people and their karts loitering around near the lines.
I went to the 15 items or less line, and casually asked a black guy if he was in line; considering all the people idle .
He got pissed off and started hollering at me
Politely, I said it was only a question.
He huffed and puffed and screamed that was a Dumb question… all the other blacks in the store looked at me and laughed.
I am a elderly white male in my 70s..
I sure as crap was not interested in any conflict .
So I just moved to another line on the other side of the store to avoid any issue..
As the angry black man walked out with his groceries he was staring me down.
Figured he was loitering around the parking lot waiting for me
Glad he was not trying to continue his angry tirade
because at that point my elevation of force to protect myself would have escalated
More than likely Haitians. They are so damn rude, You’d think we were illegally in their country.
I am always prepared for an encounter as you just described 1:11. They can wait for me in the parking lot if they feel the need, but they should just go home. Lot less hassle than having a bullet removed.
I rather like being a hermit.
