Does it seem like people these days just aren't into having a connection?

Idk, I've always had a problem with it so that's nothing new to me. 😅 I can do small talks or have more interesting conversations in a sharing experiences way but I don't do those "friends forever" "us against the world" "my tribe" and touchy-feely things.

Maybe some aren't, but it's not everyone

And some of us are just very selective in getting close and not wanting any connection that isn't very deep, we don't want to invest ourselves too much into anything potentially fleeting, fickle, superficial, or illusory, we hunger for the deepest connection of all and are not optimistic about finding it once we've already glimpsed the real thing but situations prevent being able to hold onto it

One could probably write a book about the reasons.

It just becomes too hard to trust anyone. Everyone has their hand out wanting something. So it is like even when people are polite or outgoing, you have to think, "Okay what are they going to ask for?"

People will always be into having a connection. At one time it was ads in the news papers, then on TV, now they look for that connection online. It's always been the same

This is because everything around us involves crime, murders, stabbings, shootings, people OD'ing, government corruption, phone scams, hackers. Bad people stealing your car, your house, all your money. Prices going up, wages not going anywhere, maybe you got laid off. It's all negative negative negative.. You can't trust anyone except yourself, everyone is a potential crook, even the nice ones, even your friends, they all want something.
So everyone distances themselves from each other, it's the only way to be safe.

because society is so much into the social media and whats happening around the world. people still do connect when they both decide to leave this kind of world behind and be their own kind

Yes very much so. 🙁

You're right, and that's correct.

Unfortunately 😶

It seems to be growing. For all our connectivity, we seem to drift farther apart.

Some are.. some had enough tho of bad ones 😒

Everything has become too disposable, including people.

Its due to the end times. Humanity has fallen into a terrible state in which love has grown so cold, people can not even glance at their neighbors without evil inclinations springing from within them.

Lets blame it on internet and smart phones.

Too much fear mongering also social media
