Ever felt like or heard this idea of "(Insert your city) is just a lonely city"?.

In this episode, I share why I don't think lonely cities exist and why telling ourselves our city is lonely is actually what makes in lonely.

I teach your how to cognitively reframe the "lonely city" mentality so that you can actually meet some new people and make new friends.

I go over some of the research on loneliness so that we can look at both sides.

And most importantly, I share why you're worth putting in the effort to make new friends regardless of what anyone says about how lonely or non-lonely your city is.
