Getting along with people or making new friends is such a bother in the adult world...

People are more untrusting than ever, traits like kindness and humbleness have become exploitable weaknesses, people stopped using their brains and started making up their minds about others based on emotions and buzzwords because they're so overloaded by information. A lot of young people are depressed and miserable, unable to find friends, lovers or simply too afraid to try. it's a very gray picture to paint but from my perspective the world has gotten a lot more selfish and cynical.

I can't say for others but I'm pretty sure I must have missed some important phase of socialization in my formative years. I wasn't good at this as a kid, just like I'm not good at it as an adult. The thing is when you are a kid, it seems to work somehow on its own without you putting much effort into it anyway.
