I've been raised in an environment where we talked with neighbours and so on - Now 50 after moving a few times - I feel many times people look at me weird when I say things like "Hi, Hey what's this dog breed", "Did you just move in?" or "If you need anything I'm in the house over there"... I'm not looking to build a relationship with everyone, but basic social skills are in some kind of drought.
- ted_bunny 2y agoIt's incredible! Even people your age and older are doing it! Blank stares. I'm going full Flanders. I'm gonna get a howdly doodly out of these freaks!
- mcphage 2y agoThere was recently a spate of people getting shot (or shot at) for knocking on someone’s door, or pulling into someone’s driveway. (Someone inevitably being an older white man.) How do you develop a sense of community with people who behave that way?
- anthony_d 2y agoLuckily most people don’t want to live like that. It’s true that people have lost a lot of their ability to socialize, but the kind of hate you’re promoting takes a lot more work. It’s tiring for everyone.
- mcphage 2y agoI have trouble imagining that anybody wants to live like that. And yet people do.
