I must say how the world now seems to be heading into strange places. It seems that is not just myself that has been having difficulties with connection with people lately. I mean, most of my friends who I’ve been talking to which are single, or trying to meet someone, or just hanging out with the old folks, seem to have this sort of dissociation while trying to connect with others.
You cannot open too soon or else you’ll just scare them away. If you become to secretive maybe they’ll lose interest in you, or even, maybe they are just too busied with their daily lives that they completely forgot about your existence, too. I mean, we are being barely able to hold on unto ourselves, and I guess that as a sort of coping mechanism we hope that by spreading our arms and trying to reach out we might be able to catch some grip unto the readings of others of what’s going on with ourselves.
Or do we? I mean… The places which we are going seem to be this hyperbolic maraud where we are constantly swinging back-and-forth trying to reach some sort of understanding from others, towards ourselves. But everyone is just so… Busy, and tired, and having to deal with their own sh*t, that how can we… How can we at least expect to gather some attention in the middle of these crowds? And worse yet, even if we do, who is it say that maybe they won’t get sucked into the vortex of ever-dwindling-attention which the usage of apps and media has ben gathering upon us?
The strange places which we inhabit now, longing for connection and ever more increasingly becomming disconnected from others while at the same time trying to be fulfilled with our duties and responsibilities. But then, if there is no one else to share at least a little slice of said aftermaths which we might encounter day-in and day-out, what much else would there be for us to do? I mean, we as social creatures crave that sort of interaction, but if even that is cut from us, and we cannot get any kind of positive feedback through a certain commotion with one another, where does that leave us anyways?
Unfortunately I am afraid that I myself cannot fathom of a possibility to tackle the aforementioned situations but I guess that at least the consideration and inquiry upon said words and constraints might help, at least a little bit, alleviate the ill predispositions which we might find ourselves at. Or at least, I hope so…
