What happens when we swap phone with a hobby? I can't blame someone for feeling bad about themselves after putting themself out there and being ignored or hated on. On global networks, that feeling is somewhat amplified because it starts to feel like nobody would find you interesting, out of 9 billion people. Why should we feel interesting? Well, I personally would not want to socialize with someone who found me boring. The juice should be worth the squeeze. I am curious about your view on pride. The idea of pride is somewhat alien to me. What is there for an average Joe to be proud of? Most of us are trapped in an oppressive economic situation and are forever distracted from any meaningful goals in our lives by responsibilities and society's selfish expectations. The loss of third places exacerbates the problem. People don't belong in their own communities, and they feel it.
