It didn’t used to be. At least for me and i don’t recall constantly seeing posts on social media about how lonely and sad everyone was or how to make friends. Now every other magazine article is about how lonely everyone is, nobody gets together, and gen Z doesn’t socialize, drink, or have sex.
Why is there such an epidemic of loneliness and why are people content to be lonely rather than socialize?
Why is so hard to connect? Because people having nothing in common anymore? I used to connect with people over books, movies, hobbies, etc. But now it feels increasingly hard to do that. Most folks I meet don’t care about any of that, they just mostly complain about their lives to you or go on political rants about how unfair the world is.
My friends and my dates no longer seem to watch films, or do much of anything other than spend time on social media? I dont’ use social media so I’m pretty ignorant of it all.
No money to do anything is my main reason.
And then there’s the feeling that it’s less evil to not participate in American culture. American culture doesn’t feel genuine to me and when I find myself in it I feel like I’m losing myself like the decline of a meth user. Participating in American culture makes me feel like a bad human being.
Ads. Ads everywhere and they’ll all attacking your sense of contentment to sell their shit and all their shit is terrible. Terrible of the environment. Terrible for human ethics. All the big companies are clouding with the fascist government.
I’ve also come to this conclusion. Twas a fun go but now I feel morally bankrupt and no longer want to be accomplice.
