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 HAVE been experiencing that lately. I think the past 2 generations, mine and yours, were brought up with technology that pulled us away from each other and fed us negativity and violence and perversions. I think many of us are paranoid now...don't wanna get too close...who can you trust. I feel some of that but I give people time to reveal themselves. No wonder there are so many lonely people out here

@Cloud7593 I'm your Mom's generation. It makes sense that you would find this behavior in people 55 and younger. Aren't they the people you can relate to? The people I find this behavior in are 55 and up...the ones I relate to mostly
