The lost art of male friendship

One of the unexpected consequences of social media is the growing epidemic of loneliness.

Study after study shows more and more people feel lonely all the time…and most have very few close friends…if any.

An article in Sunday’s NY Times Magazine titled “Where Have All My Deep Male Friendships Gone?” spoke about how difficult it is to not only make new friends but stay in touch with the ones we have.

Maybe that why this TikTok trend has gone viral.

USA Today reports on the growing trend of men wishing their bros “sweet dreams” before they tuck in…and the Net is eating it up!

You can see why:

Yes, there’s some giggles…yes, some awkwardness…but all end the same way…the recipient glad that their friend “checked in” on them!

Try it…we think you’ll like it!
