I swear i don't fit into society anymore, i mean i was always on the outskirts of counter-culture but it seems to have entirely vanished at this point! Thought i'd try this site although it seems counter-intuitive since it's just this type of technology that seems to be fragmenting society. I've started calling it anti-social media! Idk i'm trying to stay positive and keep seeking my "tribe" so to speak <3's
You might find it, but good luck. One, with this whole social media, my own brand, mentality, seems finding people willing to "tribe" up isn't the norm. IMO you seem to find people that "hang out" with certain groups to identify with a movement, but never really going deep into friendships. Then as you stated, the main mode of communication between strangers today is via a technology that helps to insulate and maintain separation. Esp for guys, if you don't have a circle of friends by the time you finish HS or college, it's near impossible to find one after 25-30. You might meet a new guy friend from your gf/wifes friends, but we don't seek or even allow it to happen naturally (homophobia - or at least fear of appearance)?
