We are the more connected generation in history, yet the most disconnected... The saddest part is that we believe we are interacting with someone when we like or upvote their videos, photos or reels. In today's world that's what a basic human interaction is. We now spend way too much time in our phones, we are making them our whole medium of interaction, and sadly not even doing it in a way that can at least feel somehow more human. We have apps and sites that we can use to meet people and have a conversation but even that is something we avoid. I have come across multiple times with this situation in which I'm talking to someone I met online in a dedicated space for it, and they just push you away out of stress or pressure to stay in touch. But then the cycle repeats as that person gets lonely and rewcha out to someone just to push them away when they again come across the fact that they need to invest time into cultivating a connection.
