You are prety much correct in that people does not socialize much anymore. Every now and then some study pops out and shows loneliness statistics are up through the roof. I don't think Social Media in itself is to blame here, though.

If you reach deep into serious studies about romantic relationships you find the trend is for romantic relationships to be tremendously unsatisfactory. There are a number of potential reasons they speculate as probable causes but what seems to be hard facts is people is not getting their expectations fulfilled and people does not want to put effort into the deal.

If we think this sample is relatable to friendships and family relationships, it gets things explained IMO.
