It's like we all collectively forgot as a society that friendship and just connection in general takes effort. Even if you meet someone you immediately click with, it takes hanging out about 20 times (!) to become friends. And guess what, some of those 20 meetings might be awkward or unimpressive.
We all want to reap the benefits (having a friend circle, having a partner, getting married) without doing the work (going to events, interacting with people, learning to handle conflict maturely, dating). Myself included. If I could, I'd never leave the house or go on another mediocre date again... except, that's part of the process.
I guess what I'm trying to say is, the cure to the loneliness epidemic is touching some grass and building tolerance for tedious in-person interactions.

I hc there's a misconception about Mystery, Inc., and it's that Fred and Velma, being the planners and "braincell holders" of the gang, cannot leave Daphne and Shaggy alone together unattended. In reality, it's actually Daphne and Shaggy that can't leave Fred and Velma unattended. They maximize their troublemaking potential and then go apeshit ham from there.

Another meme I had to make about dead boy detectives
"Teenagers are assholes."
Yeah. Of course they are. They're treated like shit. They recognize that things are grossly unfair but haven't yet had the chance to figure out what should be done about it, and no one helps them figure that out because everyone is too busy gaslighting them and denying that anything is wrong.
Being an asshole is a natural response to that.
