im jus curious cus i imagine this wouldnt rly lead to making friends just some very brief friendly interactions

also if some random dude seems overly eager to talk to me im assuming hes gay or if its a girl im assuming she wanna f***

Breaking down my point, it seems that increase in helicopter parenting, technology, remote schooling, etc. are hindering the kids potential to develop social skills.

maybe its cause im in canada

its funny cause its true

This mentality is a HUGE part of the problem let’s keep it a buck @americana

Bro is s***deprived

You gotta be some crazy ass cave dweller LOL

A LOOOOOT of ppl are s***deprived bro

On all sides of the spectrum.

Facts

I was joking but there are people like that

We know this

How many ppl actually stop and try to have like genuine conversations with strangers in real life?

Covid has no doubt exacerbated the problem even tho this was said in the article to have been a thing before the pandemi moore?

How many ppl itt make an effort to let alone say hi to a neighbor? Or even get to know an employee or a co-worker of the opposite s***and not in an attempt to f*** em?

How many ppl make an effort to even ask their friends whats going on today for an event to go to?

Lmao I was joking but ik people who think like that

One thing you gonna realize real quick when you start to become the friend that tries to y’know just be outside and communicate and keep those friendships irl functioning vis REAL LIFE gatherings and events

A lot of ppl are really not social. Even the ppl that claim they are throughout their social media. You’ll end up doing majority of the work in that department lol

It’s also the very valid and real notion that a LOT of ppl are in a current state of recovery from what we’ve gone through these last 2-3 years. It’s said there hasnt been a worser time for dating than now cause everyone is the “walking wounded” atm. And after trying for the last 3 years im taking a break because the streets is just awful man.

Not me tho

Be easy

Yea u right, most ppl have a small circle they hold on to dearly and everything outside that is pretty much useless to them, only a certain type of person is constantly looking for new friends to hang with

Idk man after partying and going out 3 days a week for a decade being alone is nice.

Also keeps me sober

He’s bald and isn’t wearing a hat either so shorty was just lying to him anyways and not really paying attention

Going out =\= partying.

I think another thing ppl dont realize its 1000 different ways to socialize

Places should start taking phones away like coat service at the museum. Theyd place them in lead boxes and bury them in the ground, and you get a ticket. At the end of the day a valet comes and digs it uo and gives it back. This would belp foster community relations. They could also pump the place with small amounts of co2, to help loosen people up and lessen their inhibition

Im realizing if you in the close friends circle you easily get taken advantage of cause “youll always be there” so effort isnt really made after a certain point.

Politricks.
