0:00.0 | Today on The Girl To Find Show, we're talking about the fact that so many of us look happy |
0:04.3 | and cheerful and connected on the outside, especially on social media, |
0:07.7 | but the reality is on the inside so many us feel lonely, |
0:11.3 | disconnected, and longing for deep friendships. In fact, a recent statistic showed that 60% |
0:16.5 | of Americans feel lonely on a regular basis. And if you think, well, if I could just, |
0:21.4 | you know, be more famous or be more well-known or be more connected even online, |
