It's relatively helpful advice, not meant to be ignorant to some people who may have clinical depression or anything that severe. --- New York Rangers [2004-2008] https://media.giphy.com/media/WvQHBYW0q4TuxdAg61/giphy.gif https://psnprofiles.com/Jaromiroquai68 ... Copied to Clipboard!

When people call, pick up the phone. 95% of my phone calls are robocalls and scammers maybe the government should do something about that before lecturing us about how to cope with atomization --- http://i.imgur.com/A0TAfek.png ... Copied to Clipboard!

GeraldDarko posted... What? Automation? Autonominization?atomization is a colloqualism for large scale social isolation my point is that society's power brokers have over time eroded any semblance of organic community/social structures and relationships and is boldly lecturing about superficial solutions to symptoms of more fundamental societal problems, while simultaneously neglecting addressable issues actually within the scope of their power and responsibilities --- http://i.imgur.com/A0TAfek.png ...

Better advice would be to just tell people to do their best to adapt to being lonely. The genie is not going back in the bottle. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Hornswoggled posted... Better advice would be to just tell people to do their best to adapt to being lonely.Pretty much this.

I think it's actually decent advice. Being lonely, but making little to no effort to interact with others is definitely a problem. People would rather complain about being lonely than admit they're part of the reason though. --- https://warpzone.me/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/GRANDIA_-696x509.jpg ... Copied to Clipboard!

This kind of advice is for 'normies' in a rut. It means nothing at all if you're somebody who's had a certain condition, combined with some other negative factors, that's left you basically fucked since early life, like myself. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I could see this being good advice if you actually had meaningful connections in the past, and became lonely as a result of poorly maintaining said connections. In my situation, I have not built any strong friendships to begin with. There's no one for me to "reconnect" with, I don't receive many phone calls (and I accept the ones I do get), and I try to pay full attention the few times people do talk to me. This is likely a result of me being naturally bad at communicating with others. If you're the average person who is good at socializing but struggles with the new environment brought on by the internet / social media, this would probably be solid advice. As for myself, it's useless advice. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Loneliness is gonna get worse, because I honestly see nothing on the horizon that's gonna make people be more social in the ways that actually matter. Current society is, maybe unintentionally, encouraging shallow relationships. ... Copied to Clipboard!
