Are you struggling to connect with anyone?
Do you feel alone?
Do you feel disconnected from others?

But how many of these connections do you really know? And how well do you know them?
It turns out that most of us aren't very connected to our neighbours, our coworkers, or even ourselves. We're just barely connected to our family members.
And as far as connecting with total strangers goes, we're pretty terrible at it. We make awkward conversation attempts, we get nervous around new people, and we often fail miserably.
