They say absence makes the heart grow fonder. I\u2019ve given up on social media, the Facebook, the twitter, the instagram, and it\u2019s a weird feeling. Mostly because I have that feeling of \u2018missing out\u2019 although even when I was on the platforms, nobody was posting anything that I felt was relevant or interesting anyway, but it\u2019s that \u2018what if\u2019. I don\u2019t have a large social circle anyway, and people would never actually include me in their posts but if there\u2019s someone I see out and about that I want to find out more about, then suddenly that option is now removed and I really don\u2019t know how to feel about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I never used Twitter to the extent most people do, mostly I would check it once a week and see what Elon was up to, or Linode, or Unraid, I don\u2019t follow people and I never take part but still that lack of the human connection, I guess, is now missing and its amazing the effect (affect) it has on the human psyche.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So what is there to do? As I sit here and type the prose that nobody is actually ever going to read\u2026 what is the social experience, where is that outlet of interacting with people and solidifying that human connection. Well, it\u2019s nowhere. It has to be taken outside of the virtual experience and into the \u2018real world\u2019. The problem really though is that I hate people and that 90% of the fucks have nothing interesting to say other than commenting on the weather or repeating whatever they read in the \u2018red top rags\u2019. So fuck em.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meh, I guess Ill just go without until I find the need to reregister, or look someone up. Because\u2026 boobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
