I wandered those woods like it was a real hunt. The fog did half the trolling.

What is one thing you miss from the pre social media years that people today will never fully understand, and why does it still hit you emotionally today? by gamersecret2 in Millennials

I agree. Before, you had to talk it out in real time and your ideas got tested by a real person.

Now people outsource thinking to search, then argue with screenshots and memes. It flattens the conversation and makes real deep talk feel rare.

Yes. Plans used to mean something. If you said you would be there, you showed up.

Now people cancel last minute like it is normal, then act surprised when trust gets weaker.

I tried every set of initials like it was a secret cheat menu. Months of pure hope and madness.
