Spent a morning out on the town on my day off, and everyone is just fucking buried in their phones 24/7. This realization was so absurd to me

Of course I’m not exempt from this shit, but no wonder people are having so much trouble making friends and creating meaningful relationships in this day and age. So fucking bleak

    Are you bothered every single time someone speaks with you?

        I understand that feeling, but not everyone feels that way. Most people likely feel neutral about it, and some even enjoy being talked to! 🙂

          I can't know if someone would enjoy being talked to before talking to them. Even worse, I can't know if someone is just being polite when I bother them. They might be bothered and I'd never know! I'd much rather never talk to anyone.
