I assume years of collectively crying about it online has made something as simple and natural like dating seem like this unachievable task.
Not sure if it’s just me, but I feel like young people are less capable than ever to socialise. I thought I was a social pariah, but I don’t have shit on some people out there.
I was a complete social reject in middle and high school so I don't even know how to people but I just assumed that was just me and my miserable circumstances apparently a lot of people have the same problem?
Same, I struggle with people. I think it's just that our kind of people are more active online.
There's no third places where you can just loiter.
From what I've seen/heard, it's not specifically the 'crying.' It's a general effect from online life. Online activities are much, much easier than in person. Want to feel a connection to someone? Here's vloggers, talking straight at you in painfully earnest tones about everything in their life. Want someone to entertain you? Here's half a dozen companies fighting to be the one you turn to. Hungry? Forget cooking. Here's delivery options from everywhere. Horny? Porn! It's all a click away and you don't even need to put on pants. If getting a need met enough to get you to tomorrow takes no effort, many people aren't going to put in the work to get, not even a guarantee, but only a chance at something better.
