I Need to Vent

I'm missing genuine deep human connection. I don't necessarily mean via a relationship. I'm just tired of the shallow give-and-take with people all the time. I'm starting to feel isolated, because I know most people don't want anything more from me than what I can provide them with.

Get used to it - every year EP/SW falls deeper and deeper into the 120 characters or less, shallow, facebook-like place that society has been moving toward for a long time now.

@BlueDiver well I wasn't referring to here, lol. But might be the same principle offline too.

It's not quite as bad offline, granted - but honestly, even offline it's hard to find people who look for either depth or intimacy in friendships. We've become a shallow society. You can see it all over the place - news stories are dumbed down, music rarely contains the intimacy that it did a decade or two ago, tv shows are full of more fickle characters and shallower story lines.
