This is puzzling me. I seem to be encountering it a lot among young folks.
Guy in his late 20s who I work with. Smart, outgoing, lots of friends. Desperately wants to learn to scuba dive but refuses to take the class by himself (without knowing anyone). Said he’s a fish in the water so no related fears. He won’t lack for people to dive with after certified. He wanted a friend to do class with him, but friend can’t afford it.
Another mid-20 something. Lived in Europe for several years not knowing anyone when she moved there. Won’t go to the gym by herself. Won’t ride her bike through her safe suburban neighborhood by herself. Won’t run out to get carryout food without someone with her.
These are just two examples, but I’m running into a LOT of people like this.
What gives?
