I Am Fascinated By Human Behavior

Has anyone else noticed people are generally less social than they used to be? It seems like a lot of people are not interested in having friends and don't want to be bothered with other people. I've tried to be social with some people and it's like they don't trust you or think you're trying to take advantage of them or something. I know at least part of it is people are busy and don't have time to have a ton of friends. Plus people are very selfish.

I think once you reach a certain age, most people already have their group of friends and aren't exactly on the look-out for new ones. Which makes it hard on people who don't really have many/any friends, and they're trying to talk and get to know people who are simply just not interested. So I wouldn't say people are less social, just not really dedicated or interested on socalising with new people.

@maybesomeday That and some people, especially women, don't want any drama. I've heard people say they don't bother with relationships because of too much drama.

@Cloud7593 Women cause the most drama, in my opinion. I feel like I can say that because I am a woman. And because women do seem to create so much drama, I find that even harder to form friendships with them.

Men cause drama but tend to get over it quicker.
