Is anyone else's friends getting really distant? (lemmy.ca)

I'm probably just an asshole nobody wants to talk to, but I can hardly even get a reply text from anyone anymore. A couple people have told me that they are just feeling burnt out/depressed/etc and don't have even enough energy to answer a message anymore. But I've also had some long time friends just entirely ghost me in the last year as well with no explanation. It feels like I'm surrounded by NPCs. I've basically just stopped reaching out to anyone at this point. Outside of my work, literally the only people I talk to are my parents, sister, and my girlfriend. Everyone else seems dead inside. I used to have at least 10 people who I could call on a moments notice and all of those people are gone.

Stop this bullshit generalization and people might give your point more consideration.

I built my house with my own hands, and if it would help one person for the value of my house to drop I would absolutely take that hit with a smile. fuck it. drop it to 0 so nobody ever tries to take it from me. Perfect.

my home's value is in the warmth and dryness, not some fucking dollar sign.

you're one person. the other 99% disagree with you.

but yeah... its' a bullshit generalization because you disagree and apparently your opinion is somehow more valid than everyone else around who is the opposite?

how is that working out for you?

[–] Bo7a@piefed.ca 1 points 6 hours ago

If you generalize 'everyone' and someone says 'not me' your instinct is to call them out for generalizing?

Fuck off.
