I feel old typing this, but life has never felt so isolating. Everywhere I go everyone is on their phones all the time. Itโs especially hard to meet people and make connections when everyone prefers tiktok over communicating with the person next to them. Even when I try to go out with friends everyone is glued to their screens, like iโm sorry I canโt compete with that instagram reel on your timeline, but also why are you on your phone at dinner? or during a movie? or when iโm sitting right across from you?
