I see a few people here posting a bunch defending an unpopular position and a bunch of people reacting against it. I don’t know where you lie on this, but that feels about right to me, although it can give the wrong impression if you just see the number of comments.
Re-reading this, maybe your standards for “content” you consume are too high. The people around you tend to be average or uninteresting and that’s normal. Get better friends or be better as a friend and have something to do or talk about.
I’m curious to hear this about what someone may be doing alone that strictly isn’t “social interaction”. Normally I would think that they are doing something that only requires one active participant – maybe reading a book, watching shows, browsing the Internet, even something like taking a bath and enjoying a candle.
I might consider each of these to actually involve other people outside of that moment who you are experiencing asynchronously. The media is written, the candle is made, they were bought from a store. Not sure if I would count the bath water yet, but there was some work done before even laying the pipe and collecting the materials.
Unless you are literally making everything from raw natural materials, other people are deeply involved in our lives and I don’t think we appreciate that enough about society. So while you would be at least arm’s distance from anybody in your room, I don’t think you are ever really alone.
Let them. And let the Democrats pursue corruption from this administration if they want to try to prove that they are different to the people they should be answerable to.
Seems like these things work more on other men than they do on women.
