Isn't it interesting how easy people discard others without finding out facts?

Technology has enabled others to view people as disposable versus human beings with feelings who should communicate to save friendships etc. How uncaring we have become to hit either the words block or delete when we just don't want to deal. It's a shame our society has been reduced to being so insensitive.

I never discard a person unless they start behaving irrationally. I always leave the door open. I try not to be a bother to people. If people are not interested in maintaining a friendship then I detach because I am inevtitablly giving them what they want. Do not believe people who can never find the time for meaningful conversation or the time for you as a friend. People make room for who they want in life.

Be real, be honest, dont' spare my feelings. I am not a phony and do not like being friends with phonies. If the person is hurting and they refuse to let somebody know, that person can not help the other person. People who hate conflict do not make very good friends. Without heart to heart conversations you can never be a friend but only an acquaintance which eventually turns into a stranger.

Isn't that how we choose our real life friendships? We don't have the ability to block or delete people but don't we choose not to associate with those people that are offensive to us or those who we consider rude?

@SimplyTracie: Real life or virtual life, people who genuinely care and have nothing to hide would be glad to know your true feelings. That's the problem with the web...it lends itself to too much deceit, as the screen is the veil behind which many hide.

@OWise1: That's the negative side of anonymity I guess

@SimplyTracie: So true...people just don't seem to know how to be open, honest and true to themselves first so they can be true to others...too much insecurity going on and that overused phrase of people trying to find themselves. Instead of being their funky weird selves, people try to fit in or copy others as they don't want to be rejected. It's sad, because if more people were who they genuinely are, perhaps our world would have less conflict, less strife and be a better place? Who knows?

I disagree. Use the mute and possibly the block to improve your feed. It's inefficient to scan through the garbage every day- and dumb if you don't have to.
