@cgi2002 That's a really good summary!! There was a 50s novel about almost all humans killed by a flu or something, and the poor people who lived on farms were surviving ok since life didn't change much for them. Psychological pressures would be the hardest. People with an ability to work with animals would be more likely to get by, maybe...

So many people today feel disconnected from others that they often react as though they are the "last person" on the planet, killing themselves. Suicide has not just gone up since social media became worldwide, it has skyrocketed. People feel more alone than ever, as being in touch with people all over the world yet not having a close relationship or physical proximity with any one person leads to isolation and despair. Not wanting to expose our flaws, we hide away most of who we really are online, showing only our saleable qualities, further isolating us. The loneliness and self loathing, the sense of failure at seeing so many others in successful lives create hopelessness, especially in young people. It's important to see people in person, to really get to know others, flaws and all, to have a curiosity about the world. Social media is a synthetic society, ok in small doses, but poison in large. If you feel alone and desperate, do not hesitate to call the national suicide hotline 1 800 273-8255. People care, they have been there, and know what pain your in.
