This is my big disconnect with people my own age, and younger people. They seem to have anxiety about these things. I don't care. They get very upset when I don't text back immediately, as if I am socially rejecting them. When I text back a few hours later, it's 'too late'. but if you ask them to meet up face to face they 'are too busy and have no time'. And yet they will tell you how much time they waste doing nothing. I also talk to people on the phone, and apparently this is 'rude' now to call someone up and talk to them for an hour to catch up?
I don't get any of it. I find all of it very alienating. Like, whatever happened to just going to a movie, getting a bite to eat, and chilling out? That was what I did like 90% of the time. Maybe 10% going to a party or dinner with someone.
Sounds a little.. anxious. What's up with that?
i don't understand the constant anxiety. but it seems most folks are anxious all the time, probably from the endless social comparison on social media they are doing and the constant need for immediate and positive feedback.
which seems to be why people like AI so much? because it tells you how wonderful you are.
