I see this so much in gen z like WHERE IS THE PASSION?! it’s why I only have 2 friends also.
i feel this with my girlfriend sometimes. She’s literally the best but sometimes it just feels like written words are sosososo useless when i’m trying to convey how i actually feel
started combatting this by sending my friends stories through voice memos, i find one voice memo exchange feels closer and more meaningful than a string of texts that kind of say nothing
carlyjohnson always love it when friends send voice notes! love listening to what’s happening in their lives
so, so, so true, i am exhausted of hiding my genuine interest in people and the things around me. why do i have to diminish my joy for the sake of others?
I actively protest this every day by interaction. I am always interested in everything my friends have to say and I am always there to listen. More people just need to stick their neck out and I feel like a lot more people would do better socially.
I have actually just stopped interacting with people unless they show any interest back. I used to be super enthusiastic and I really tried to bring people together and I always tried to put my best effort to maintain any relationship I had but i realised soon enough that in order for a relationship to be maintained, one needs to be relevant. Every unseen message, every forgotten promise is a painful reminder of my irrelevance. Maybe it's just a rant but I just wish I was taken a bit more seriously.
I feel this! I’m def someone that runs from the texts but I also experience the exhaustion you’re talking about: constant fielding of memes and messages but no real conversation. Like we’re in touch ALL THE TIME so it all feel like closeness/community but no one’s really saying anything or saying it with intent (I’m seeing your story and it feels like your talking to me but you’re not really talking to me). It’s like the drain of socialization without the (essential) benefits!
