People don't like being lonely so they're always looking for someone to be with and who share the same interests or social status. It allows people to be themselves and not be lonely. But are they really themselves? People who have a strong sense of self don't necessarily need groups of people. Individualism made people more comfortable being alone, but it's nice to have a tribe. We always have had tribes, but in the 20th century, people began to put conditions on it: You could choose what tribes you were in. Now that people are living with their parents to an older age, the family is the tribe, so there is no need for individuation.
