I’ve definitely turned into the paranoid nutcase within my friend group in recent years, I hate that everything is “smart” nowadays requiring an app/internet connection & account, just to do basic things that didn’t require any of that before.

What’s some things currently making you ramble like an old man?

    Yes, absolutely. As of right now I have zero friends either online or offline. It’s been that way for a while now.

      Do you live in the US? If so, what region? Wanna go to a movie sometime and then get pancakes & talk about said movie?

      I wouldn’t say that I have zero friends, but I certainly don’t have the social circle I wish I had. That worries me for my own future. I’m gonna die someday, and I don’t want to slip into the abyss feeling totally alone.

      And the fact that I don’t seem to be an outlier makes me worried for the future health and resiliency of entire communities.

        Nope. I live in the pacific northwest of the US and there’s something here called the “Freeze” and some people refer to it as the “ice out” but it’s a term for how people in this region don’t really like making new friends. A lot of people here are very against talking to strangers.
