Learn how to scuba dive

Or any other activity where there's a lot of human contact. Scuba trips are bonding experiences. Diving is rarely a solitary activity.

AI confirmed.

Is this some kind of new harassment?

If I say something else are you just going to repeat that again?

AI triple confirmed. Guys, get in here.. We got a live one.

Doesn't look like it helped Paddock much.

did he scuba?

They found a blue snorkel in his room.

The plot thickens ...

...and dives deeper.

I know I have a lot to say and a lot Of the time it feels like my loved ones have been conditioned to react negatively to it. It's really sad really, growing up my dad always said I could talk to him about anything but he freaks out if I challenge his world view. I'm probably not the only one.

What are some world views that you have challenged him on?

So that we can't united against them.

I see this. The more isolated, the more dependent on technology. Why use in-person communication and skill sharing when you have apps on your phone to “do” and “experience”? Look at sports. I know tons of people who obsess over sports and it’s part of their identity. They’ve isolated themselves into supporting this team or that player instead of embracing the sport as a whole and funneling that passion into actually playing the sport. There are exceptions, and the same could be said about music, writing, cooking, etc. We’ve become consumers more than creators.

What are your interests? Check and see if your area has any clubs or groups that do that particular hobby or sport.

Get a part time job that allows you to meet people your age. My son is 21 and works at the movie theater part time. He meets all kinds of people.

Not like this. Talk to other humans. Put down your phone.

Join a networking group or volunteer. There are definitely ways to connect face to face in the digital age.

Aww I feel for you.

In a way I gave up. I mean I have friends but I will never have what I used to have before technology. People just seem so fake now.

With that being said, I have made some real friends here! Not lying.

Well it just seemed to be random. I messaged a guy once about a post I liked and we became like best friends just from talking back and forth. Eventually shared numbers and the rest is history.

Gotta be careful though - a lot of creeps on here!

Learn a musical instrument and join a band.

you could try meetup.com they're groups for people who hike, that would be a simple way to start if you dont have any hobbies that are group activities... or you could start playing magic the gathering lol

Since i was a kid, i wanted an army of friend. I had that mindset of 'trying to be popular'. Then i smoked weed and felt distant from this false reality and and revelation hit me. So then i went to uni and i struggled to make friends, i started realising whats the point making friends with peo0le you really dont care about and have nothing in common. I started accepting my role as the outsider and hate people who do selfies, or go on their phones and check their social media profiles, i used to be one of them social media sheeps. Im sure they good people but it really annoys me to try make a friend and have a one aided conversation when their eyes glued to their screens. Even 5 years on i struggle to make friends but i have this philosophy of friends. Friends are like Pokemon,the rarer the pokemon the rarer the friend is in terms of personality. I know i shouldnt judge social media sheeps but its hars for me to tolerate them. I use Reddit,my only source of social media as it guarentees me i will come acroas interesting people to discuss with or read. I also dont like mainstream memes but hey its the sad future we have to evolve with.

It's rude to stare at people. It's also rude to not look at people when talking to them. I can't stand constantly trying to guess how much to look at someone for it to not be "weird". I think that's the main reason I avoid socializing - I feel constantly stressed because of this.

It's a major part of why I ended up "socializing" via social media. I can look wherever the hell I want.

There's other reasons why I'm anti-social. But the eye-contact issue is the first and most constant barrier I face in each and every social interaction I have.

But while interacting via social media is something I can tolerate, it's also hollow and empty. Even if it's enough to make me feel like I'm not isolated, to feel like I have friends, I am isolated, I don't have friends. If things don't change, I won't have anyone to feed me gruel when I'm too old and feeble to do it myself.

Whether the socially isolating forces of modern technology are a deliberate product of an evil elite out to destroy social cohesion, or are simply the emergent result of people making a living selling products people buy, the effects are the same: they decrease face-to-face interaction. However, modern technology didn't create social isolation, but it exasperates the problem by making one realize how much eye contact/face-to-face social interaction stresses oneself out, making one more prone to avoid it than if one had never experienced the alternative.

Of course, social media has it's own negatives, but it's more along the lines of like how smoking decreases your lung capacity and you start thinking you should quit rather than face-to-face where it's like getting hit in the face with pepper spray.

Grab a beer, or even better, a joint, with a someone. People like drugs, and these drugs, when used in moderation, tend to make people open up and discuss things. You'll find that people aren't as numb as you think. I think this despair is a manufactured phenomenon used to attack the younger generations who dont view traditional propaganda outlets with favor.

Build a supercomputer and play games on it 😂
