Americans are now spending more time alone than ever. It’s changing our personalities, our politics, and even our relationship to reality.

I had a very strange feeling reading this article alone and on my phone. Overall a very interesting read. It helps explain some of the minor decisions I'll make in life, like always choosing a checkout with a cashier regardless of the length of the line. Sometimes I converse with the cashier or someone in line and it does slightly improve my mood in a way thats difficult to explain.
