Where we are

See the full road

Try the first question

How are you arriving today?

Nothing you tap here is saved or sent anywhere.

Why HUMAN, TOO

Social media made us visible. We're building something that helps us feel seen.

You can be surrounded by followers and still feel like no one understands what you're going through. HUMAN, TOO organizes connection around what you're living through, not who's most popular. Starting over, rejection, grief, faith, loneliness, finding yourself: whatever season you're in, someone here has been there too.

How it works

Four steps from alone to "same here."

01

Experiences

Name what you're living through. It stays private unless you choose to share it, and it can change as you do.

02

Stories

Share in your own words, with the audience you choose, and say what support would help: just listen, relate, or offer perspective.

03

Connection

Instead of likes: I See You and Same Here. When someone's lived it too, you can choose to connect. Both of you have to say yes.

04

Circles

Small communities around one shared experience, each hosted by our team. No one sees a list of who's inside.

Find your Circle

Which season are you in?

Circles are small communities around one shared experience. Tap one to see what it's like.

See it in action

A first look at HUMAN, TOO.

Check in with how you're arriving. Read a Story that sounds like yours. Say "I See You" or "Same Here." Join a Circle. Share your own Story when you're ready.

Early preview with sample Stories. Members' real Stories are never used in our marketing.

Join the waitlist

A different kind of social

Built for being known, not for being watched.

Less performance

No follower counts, no likes, no leaderboards, no endless feed. Today shows a few Stories that matter to you, then tells you you're caught up.

Stronger privacy

You choose who sees every Story: everyone, your people, one Circle, or anonymously. Location is stripped from photos. Nothing is ever public on the web.

Your vulnerability is never the product

No ads. We never sell your data or target anyone based on grief, loneliness or anything else they've shared. Belonging here stays free.

Your story belongs here. So does theirs. Support without diagnosing. Listen without exploiting vulnerability. Ask before giving advice. Remember that behind every Story is a human being.

Our story

Carrell Andrews

Founder

There were many seasons in my life when I felt misunderstood. I faced rejection. I questioned my identity, and at times I questioned my faith. In some of those moments I was surrounded by people and still felt unseen.

I was created for a purpose that is still unfolding.

Questions

What people ask us.

Something else on your mind? Write to hello@humantoosocial.com.

What is HUMAN, TOO?

A social space built around what people are going through, not how popular they are. You can share a Story, find people who relate, join small Circles and feel less alone, with privacy you control.

Who is it for?

Adults 18 and over who are navigating something: starting over, loneliness, grief, identity, faith, career changes, rejection, growth. You don't need a diagnosis. A lived experience is enough to belong.

When does it open?

We're opening a small private beta first, so every member is welcomed with care. Join the waitlist and we'll email you when there's a place for you. If you'd like to help shape it now, apply to be a founding tester.

Is it free?

Yes. Joining, sharing, Circles, connection and support resources will always be free. Optional extras may come later, but belonging will never cost anything.

Is HUMAN, TOO therapy or a crisis service?

No. HUMAN, TOO is peer support, not therapy, and it isn't monitored for emergencies. It doesn't replace care from a licensed professional. If you're in crisis, call or text 988 (US). If you're in immediate danger, call 911. See more support resources.

Who can see what I share?

You decide for every Story: everyone on HUMAN, TOO, only your people, one Circle, or anonymously. Nothing is ever public on the web, and location details are removed from photos.

How do you keep people safe?

Everyone agrees to our Community Covenant. Real people review every report, and you can block, mute, delete or limit replies whenever you need to. Support resources are one tap away on every screen.

What happens to what I type on this website?

We use it only to reply to you and invite you into the beta. We never sell it. Read our Privacy Policy for the details.

Our story

HUMAN, TOO began with a feeling most of us know.

Being surrounded by people, and still feeling unseen. This is where it started, how we're building it, and where it's going.

From the founder

There were many seasons in my life when I felt misunderstood. I faced rejection. I questioned my identity, and at times I questioned my faith. In some of those moments I was surrounded by people and still felt unseen.

What carried me through was a quiet knowing: I was not alone, even when it felt that way.

I was created for a purpose that is still unfolding.

That is my why. HUMAN, TOO exists because no one should have to walk through the hardest parts of their story feeling like the only one. Social media made us more visible than ever, but being visible isn't the same as being seen.

This is a space for the moments when you're carrying something and aren't sure anyone would understand: starting over, a rejection that still stings, a question about who you are or what you believe, a version of yourself you're still discovering. You don't have to perform to belong here, and you don't have to have it all figured out. You can name what you're navigating, share as much or as little as you want, and find people who can say, "Same here."

I made a few promises when I started building this, and I intend to keep them.

Your vulnerability is never the product.
No ads, no selling your data.
Belonging here stays free.

Your story isn't finished. Mine isn't either. I'm glad you're here.

Carrell AndrewsFounder, HUMAN, TOO

The story behind the build

How we're building it, and why it matters.

We started with one question.

Every feature has to answer it: does this help someone feel seen, known, supported or meaningfully connected? If it only keeps people scrolling, it doesn't belong here.

We wrote the safety rules before the first screen.

Adults only. Real people reviewing reports. Support one tap away. Anonymity that protects members but never shields harm. These were decided before anything was designed.

We designed out the popularity contest.

No likes, no follower counts, no trending lists. Instead: I See You, Same Here, and a Today that ends. Being known matters more than being big.

We made room for faith, and for questions.

Faith is part of many people's stories, including mine. It has its own Circle, where every tradition and every question is welcome, and no one is pressed to believe anything.

We're building it with you.

Before we open the doors, we're sitting down with people one conversation at a time, watching what helps and what doesn't, and changing the product to match.

We're keeping belonging free.

Extras like guided programs and time with verified professionals will come later. Sharing, Circles, connection and support resources will always be free.

Why belonging matters

Loneliness is common, and it's costly.

About 1 in 2

U.S. adults report experiencing loneliness, with some of the highest rates among young adults. U.S. Surgeon General, 2023

1 in 4

college students said they felt isolated from others. Healthy Minds Study, 2024–2025

1 in 5

employees worldwide felt lonely a lot of the previous day, rising to 25% of fully remote workers. Gallup, 2024

The Surgeon General's advisory also finds that lacking social connection can raise the risk of premature death as much as smoking up to 15 cigarettes a day, and calls on schools, workplaces and community organizations to help.
