Notifications are making people miserable because its turned social into a fucking chore.
It always was a chore, though, at least for anyone at all introverted. Even in the days before cellphones, I would sigh a sigh of relief when I could put down the phone. It was the same sigh when I closed the door after a visit from a salesperson or a service person. It's the same sigh of relief when I get home from a function at the city club.
Not every place you go in public is a place you feel at home to be your real, unguarded self.
- coding123 8y agoI don't know - I kinda see it like the show stranger things. That's how I grew up. We'd bike, walk, or whatever show up to our friends house. Parents didn't have instant communication back then, so the expectancy factor wasn't there. All that mattered was that when the sun was dimming, we'd have to be home for dinner.. Any time after school and before the dimming was our time. Like the goonies. Damn. Damn no really damn, the current generation doesn't fucking have the goonies. That's just so sad.
