Do you think people give up easily?

Seems like people these days can't handle a simple disagreement/misunderstanding. And that's online AND [b]in real life. [/b]

They don't know how to settle anything and come to an agreement. They'd rather walk away from a childhood friend, friend on 10 years, etc...

People are strange. Is it something in the air that causes them to act this way?🤔

I think people are gradually losing communication and negotiating skills. We spend less time talking in person, less time talking on the phone. E-mail and texting is the prevalent mode of interaction now. Yes, it is faster and more "convenient," but we are losing contact with one another as human beings. Having said this, I have made meaningful contact with people here whom I would never have met otherwise.

@Byron8by7 yea i have too. those folks are gone. One was slightly my fault, I'll admit. The person kept telling me that I'd never find the job I wanted. Not those exact words. If i still had the conversations I'd post the wording.. he kept saying it over and over. He was upset in HIS work and therefore spoke to me like i should settle, because he did.

@iamnikki Although you and I communicate here on a limited basis, I want you to know that I value our interaction.
