I feel a lot of us are at the end of our ropes

From what I see, a lot of people these days are feeling so starved of affection, both from a physical standpoint but also an emotional standpoint. Whether this is ingrained from childhood (like me) or if it develops over time (or worsens) it seems to be a growing epidemic. Some of us learn how to survive this desert, but others get swallowed by it. Some go mad (quite literally) and some decide they've had enough of this world and leave it. Sadly, I don't exactly blame people. As a whole we've all grown more disconnected and even the reason behind it is depressing. We can't trust that things won't get too complicated if we show affection to people. Sometimes affection is all someone needs to bring them back from the brink.
I write this not to sadden you all, but to inspire you all to love those in your life who you treasure, both online and off. Maybe even let them know you love them. There's never too much love in the world so let's spread some when the world and the best people in it need some.
Much love to you all. 馃檪

@SW-User Definitely the case. I see it everywhere because people don't put the effort in to forge genuine connection anymore. It's all about instant gratification and superficiality. No substance anymore which is a pain for people like me who crave that kind of connection.
