When someone in their 60s or 70s quietly stops keeping up with every acquaintance, every old work contact, every group chat and every distant social obligation, it is tempting to read the change as withdrawal.

A note on what follows: we are writers and editors reading the research, not clinicians or psychologists. These are patterns measured across thousands of people, and one of the studies below is a survey rather than an experiment. A pattern in a crowd is not a prescription for any one reader’s inner life.
