why is it so hard to have new friends these days? all the people we meet now in this age are all so fleeting and temporary, we don't really take the time to know them anymore, it's not like high school friends or college friends or friends from your first work where you spent at least 4 years, where it's so easy to pick up from where you last left. now it's all hi, hello, what did you do last weekend, what are you doing next weekend, that's great, have fun, drive safely. and that's the end of it. the next day will be the same questions like you never answered them before, so automatic, so thoughtless, so heartless. this is what we've become - walking spheres that don't intersect, we just bounce off each other and move on to the next direction.
is it our age? is it our generation? is it the natural progression of time? is it evolution? do we somehow lose this capacity to care for someone new in our lives after a certain age? when did we stop asking questions like: you look sad, do you want to talk about it? can i help you with something? do you want to just hang out? - when did we stop reaching out? when did we become so selfish and self absorbed?
