Where the fukk are people meeting up these days

Most of us are talking to our people through text eliminating the need to see each other and have normal face to face interactions. I believe that builds a bit of distance between one another. There are many different factors to the equation tho. People having to work more which cuts into that time. The fact that there are race/gender wars going on at the same time. Definitely believable.

How do y'all feel about family members/friends who call to complain all the fukking time??
do you pick up the phone? do you block their numbers? or flat out tell them to stop calling you compalining about their problems, sounding mad depressed over the phone? I told a family member to go see a therapist. and they aint like it. people say I'm insensitive but idc :yeshrug:

Can people pop up unannounced at your house?
I love how they're getting her together in the comments and quotes I was raised to always call first. It takes seconds to call or send a text :what:

Some men would rather be in the friend zone than get outright rejected!
I got in a debate with my homeboy because I deleted this chick off Snapchat because she left a message I sent her on read. The homey said I should have waited before I hit her up. I basically said if she was feeling me she would've hit me up right away. To give you context he acts like a...

Things have changed lol. We interact with people online daily. Furthermore, people are too busy grinding for friendship. Do people really have time for friends like that? You get home from work, you have a family(if you do), or you are in school grinding for your next opportunity.
Well, things are different these days...
People are less social then before. Technology made it easy for socially awkward people to not engage with other people in person.
But..
I have said this before and will say it again. True friendships are rare! Also, people need to learn and understand the true meaning of friendship. There are levels to this:
Strangers
Acquaintances
Associates
Friends
Most people will be strangers to us. As we progress towards friendships, then the circle get smaller and smaller. By the time people reach friendship, it may be a few people, if we are lucky!
Lastly, friendships are very important. True Friendship are like family. But, even with family, people grow apart whether intentionally or not.
So, for those who have friends, make sure y'all keep y'all relationship solid! For those who have no friends, then it is possible to make friends. Just have to do the work to attain them. Get out y'all shell and get out the house!

i worked with a team in israel and they pointed out how weird it is the americans go move to random cities with no family or social connections, especially for a country as big as ours, even if they move away from family to work in tel aviv, they're still no more than 20-40 minute drive from family and friends. that stuck with me as i've moved all over the country and you definitely have to restart or revamp your social circle (outside of your spouse/partner)
we're no longer a culture that stays local and builds and keeps networks nearby for a lifetime (like my dad's whole HS crew is still in the bay and central valley, they link up, my HS, college, and b school crews are all over the US). i definitely miss my college crew the most, our years on campus and the 2 we spent together in the bay after college were GOAT, new friendships can't replicate the depth of friendship built in school and across such a key developmental age (17/18-23-24).
edit: shout out to my gym from 2014-2018, that was my third place, we were a whole fam, been looking for another gym like that ever since

I'll add that technology has made it where life is so convenient that you really don't need to make the necessary connections that might lead to friendship.
Like back in the day you made friends with the neighborhood mechanic, the guy at the deli, the bootleg man, whoever. Now you can literally be a functioning hermit thanks to a laptop and a smartphone.
