What I see now is young people accepting social dishonesty, they all seem to be role playing.
What I see is something I noticed 50 years ago, when I spent 3 weeks in NYC, everyone is bullshatting everyone else..
Some kind of defense mechanism?
I remember reading a creepy story in the Wall Street Journal about how people would use websites like E-vite for upcoming social events; they would invite fabricated important people, RSVP for them, then admit it when people showed up expecting to see them.
Truly bizarre; if you have to do this to get people to come to your party, do the world a favor and jump off the roof. If I was lame enough to be suckered by something like that; I’d jump, too.
