Ever scrolled through your feed, laughed at 37 cat videos, liked your cousin’s vacation photos, and still felt… oddly alone? Welcome to the paradox of our times: we’re more “connected” than ever, yet somehow lonelier than a Wi-Fi signal in the middle of the desert.
In “Alone in the Crowd”, Alex Sugay takes you on a funny, insightful, and soft-hearted journey through the tangled web of social media and human connection. With wit sharper than a meme caption and compassion warmer than grandma’s group text, this book unpacks why scrolling leaves us feeling empty—and how we can find our way back to meaningful, real-life relationships.
Inside, you’ll discover:
~ The secret ways social media fuels comparison, FOMO, and “highlight reel” envy.
~ Why endless scrolling is like eating digital potato chips—you’re never actually full.
~ Practical, uplifting steps to trade online likes for offline love and laughter.
~ How building community—both online and face-to-face—can restore joy, belonging, and purpose.
Whether you’re a social media addict in denial (“I can quit anytime I want… after just one more reel”), a digital minimalist looking for validation, or simply a human craving real connection in a pixelated world, this book offers hope, humor, and a roadmap back to what truly matters.
Perfect for fans of lighthearted psychology, digital wellness, self-help, and anyone who’s ever thought, “Why do I feel lonely when 1,000 people heart-reacted to my brunch photo?”
“Alone in the Crowd” isn’t about deleting your accounts or moving to a cabin in the woods (though if you do, bring snacks). It’s about rediscovering authentic connection—one genuine conversation, laugh, and moment of presence at a time.
