Are modern friendships just sending junk from Facebook and tick tock without having real conversation?

I thought I made a friend but I can tell when people get sick of me because I don't live on my phone. I tried to explain and she backed off completely. This keeps happening. I guess I'm not friend material because I actually want to talk and hang out?

When it comes to meeting people, I feel like I hit my head and woke up so far in the future I'm the only human left.

So many people have secret lives and it’s all behind a computer screen they don’t have time for real life.🤷🏻‍♀

@Monday40 True.

I seldom have any conversation, meaningful or otherwise. Cause most people are busy chatting with someone and maybe they will talk to me only on social media. I am not they anywhere else but here. I don't bother too much as long as I get my staple diet of books, movies, music and nature.

well, i suppose if they like you enough they will want to meet. if not, then its like just facebook friends or whatever.

@MarbleMarvel well, distance makes it harder. and i doubt that its that youre not likable. a lot of factors go into becoming friends.

@Penny with this person, we don't live far. We definitely could of hung out. Unfortunately we won't get that far because I didn't respond to her tick ticks that I can't even see. She literally dropped me like a hot potato lol

Honestly if its through a device its harder..I can talk to anyone but in a box like this the pace is wrong or artificial,no pauses to just be/I have kept up long conversations using audio but its not actually the same but I do know these folks

It could be that many people are "too busy "

MarbleMarvel

@pripyatamusementpark Yeah, I understand that. I guess. Actually I don't. But nothing I can do about it.

@MarbleMarvel I gave up making real friends a long time ago ..I just accept what is

@pripyatamusementpark Smart. I think it's time for me to do the same.
