Exhausting fake interest

[AlLeYkAt86-]

I’m tired of people asking what’s wrong or I don’t seem like myself only to have them pull out their phones to do f**k knows what while I was trying to open up a bit. This is self interest and I admit that but if the level you’re beating in candy crush or you haven’t checked Snapchat or tiktok in a whopping 3 minutes don’t bother and get the f**k out of my face and way.

I completely understand this....when cell phones were first able to become a 'thing', they were banned from the dinner table, or business meetings...People actually had an app to make their phone ring at a certain time so they would look like they were actually in demand, no real internet yet...that was in the 90's. Now...cell phones have become an accepted norm to be rude, dismissive, and distant and un-caring to anyone and everyone. This is why it's said this generation of people, that is, everyone who has a cell phone glued to their face, and would need surgery to remove it from their hand, has lost the ability to have empathy, and care about others....

Today’s rampant apathy that has become the norm socially, I think it actually all started in the 60's when the Vietnam war was on TV....it was just somewhere else...and no one really cared if they had no connection to it. That apathy is what is a ‘social norm’ today,… but on steroids. I'm waiting for the day a giant pulse bomb comes along and knocks us back into the ‘stone age’ and all the screens go dark, and people actually have to look outside and around and see what the world actually looks like. They have to actually read a book, or play a board game, or walk outside.

I am in the same boat.....I'm struggling...I'm trying to survive. .I'm a very private person....and I'm sick and tired...of responding...I'm messed up..I need help..to be reciprocated w fake interest...or one uppers, or the same responses....buck up, cheer up, just get some air...

I'm starting to believe...no one will notice I'm missing or gone...
