define friends.
In life you are blessed to get one or two close friends. They are a gift. The rest are acquittances.
People picked up a Facebook Network and forgot about having actual Friends or interacting with the actual Community in which they live.
To be totally Virtual is to be virtually non-existent.
I made the mistake of having a millennial come to my house last week to do landscaping work.
After showing up 4 hours late he told me I was “disrespecting him” by telling him what jobs to do first, and said “that’s not how it’s supposed to go”.
Apparently I was supposed to just let him do whatever he felt like, regardless of what I needed done first (the mulch) or why (to get the mulch out of my truck so I could use the truck for something else)
I’m 48 and I doubt I have any either.
Lots of people I’m on good terms with though. Friend would be a stretch.
The hound of heaven is faithful.
But I bet they number their “Facebook friends” in the hundreds or more . . .
Get a job, move out of your parents basement.
Usually a good place to start.
Put down the f***ing phone and learn how to TALK to people face to face . . .
22% of millennials grew up glued to gaming consoles.
This doesn’t surprise me at all. Look at how those kids were raised.
Sheltered, bubble wrapped, eyeballs glued to video games, sedentary and disconnected from the outside world by paranoid, fearful parents.
Lack of bonding experiences, especially facing adversity together, like when serving in the military.
There’s a lot to be said for being in a Fraternity/Sorority when in college, those are the kinds of things that create lifelong friendships.
Does social media = electronic friends?
What irks me is that these socially-awkward people are immediately labeled as "autistic" and coddled when they really just need to be shoved outside in the morning and forced to play with neighborhood kids until the streetlights come on.
Only problem is, most neighborhoods don't even had kids playing outside anymore. All the kids are indoors! Even on perfect summer days.
That’s a shame. You’d think they’d get together and swap man-bun tips. Or start a hackeysack league based on mutual cooperation instead of competition. Maybe get volume discounts on green hair dye.
Is sadly very true :'(
To make matters worse, I am not sure how we fix it. (gEt oFf uR sMarT pHoNes and MaKe fRiends!) Eaiser said than done in this day and age, you get fired from a job for not wanting to wax a tranny's buttocks >:(
Good Luck making life long friends.
Worthless arrogant know-nothing people who think they know everything tend not to have (m)any friends. The millennials brought this condition on themselves but are too lazy and self-absorbed to do anything about it because forming and maintaining friendships is hard work—and “hard-working” is an adjective that is rarely applied to millennials.
Who wants to be friends with freaks and fairies besides others of the same or those who are Shamed into doing so by their peers:-)
