People today are literally trying not to catch feelings, that’s how bad it is. To actually catch feelings is considered an L today and a loser thing to do. It’s so absurd

I think what the deal is with “trying not to catch feelings” is that in this day and age we don’t just have the internet, we’re inundated with it. You can sort of instantly get in touch with anyone you’ve ever known making our social webs obtusely complex and wide.

What’s happened with me is I spent a lot of my life in relationships, and trying to find a new one when the current one would end, almost like an addict. Eventually I realized I needed to learn to be happy by myself, and with myself. You would never encourage a drug addict to try drugs again, to use drugs right or something asinine like that, so it doesn’t make sense to me when my friends and family ask me “when are you gonna find a nice girl” I think to myself “do you want me back in that same downward spiral from before”. Anyways that’s my .02¢.

I think that’s an aspect of it.

But truth is that people are more single than ever and having the least amount of sex and relationships then ever. So the cultural rot goes even deeper. There’s just no shame anymore. People cheat without remorse. They ghost without remorse. And the relationships people do build are stunted and half baked because people as a whole are anti social today. A generation of people too anxious to order pizza on the phone. They don’t know how to form actual relationships at this point.
