my friends been hanging at their condo pool like everyday. I pop out every now and then if I'm not working. They even telling me to pop out tonight knowing I am sick with a cold and I was just there last night spreading germs

Being popular is a gift and a curse :sadcam:

You're kind of making the point breh

The idea that everybody should stay in the house if they don't have money is how we end up at the point we are now
For real.

I mean when has society been different. At what point in time other than now did people not congregate because they're broke?

I get it, everything seems to cost money.

Kids used to play stick ball and kick cans.

Adults used to go to someone's house and play music and cards and shyt. We can still do this shyt, we just choose not too.

And yeah society has changed to where people are spread out and driving to someones crib may be a hassle with parking and gas. Where there's a will, there's a way.

And yet I see people outside at gatherings and events all the time on social media so someone is lying.

I think the video is only partially true. There are some people that are homebodies, maybe more now than ever and I do think certain aspects of the economy reflect that. We know people are doing less traveling, for instance.

There are also people who go out with "friends" but the connections they have with the people are very surface level so when they are actually struggling with something, they still have nobody to call.

But I think it's overblown. As you said, anytime I go out with friends, there's a lot of people around. The answer is somewhere in the middle.

It’s monumentally harder to make new friends theses days, it was hard before but now it’s almost impossible unless it’s through a shared hobby (sometimes) or maybe work.

It doesn’t help that guys seldom walk up to each other on a friendly vibes for fear of being seen as a fakkit or thinking you a robber, unlike women who at least are more cordial with each other off the rip.

That’s why if you have kids, encourage them to make friends and not to become a coli breh.

The kirk to the fields
There seems to be two segments of people
People who have limited friend groups and don't go anywhere
And people who are in the mix and packing all the restaurants, clubs, and lounges every weekend
Sometimes I feel like all the doom and gloom reports of Americans turning into Hikikomori is overblown and the result of an echo chamber of people online
GO OUTSIDE. There are tons of people hanging out together. I did it last night, it's not a myth
That's what I'm saying. Everywhere is packed.

Honestly, I feel like it's TOO MUCH people outside.

Things used to be less crowded.

People used to hang out because you literally had to leave the house back in the day. Now people have more options. More options means people aren't going to just force themselves to be around people they don't like.

And it needs to be said that alot of people don't know how obnoxious they really are. Especially people that only communicate through arguing, yelling, and debating. I know people that think every conversation is supposed to be adversarial or like a competition.

For years, a lot of the extroverts and super outgoing people abused the fact that people basically HAD to be around them because there was no internet or streaming or online gaming etc...

TLDR: a lot of people lack self awareness and don't really know annoying they really are and blame it out social media fukking up socializing. People just have more options now than going to a bar or club to stand around.
