The new generation’s technological advances are slowly making it “okay” to be anti-social.
(excuse the large text for emphasis, but I think it really is necessary)
I hope none of you fall into this category, but it is inevitable, with all the bullsh*t the media and society spits at you that some will become blend into the masses.
Everyday I walk outside, I see literally 2-3 out of 5 people listening to an iPod or other music device. I attend an ordinary, average-class university in the U.S. Now, that’s 2-3 out of 5 less people that I can start a conversation with, and I can’t even imagine how much it hurts their social skills if they do this every single day.
Heck, I think a lot of them use it (music device, phone, etc) because they are uncomfortable without it.
And the other 1-2 out of 5 can’t stand straight or be seen alone with a phone to their ear. In fact, nowadays, I rarely see a girl (or a guy) sitting by herself on campus, and not talking on a phone or using some electronic device (and that’s when I approach (the girl)
).
It’s dependency.
Lot’s of people are insecure and want to look “cool.” It’s like they are still holding onto their mother’s hand, and can’t walk on their own. Seriously, get a freaking grip, you’ll be okay if you don’t have something glued to your ears for like 2 minutes when you walk from class to class. Not only does it cut you out of a ton of opportunities and social interactions, but it’s almost like so many people are doing it, that you stand out by not having one.
Is it just me, or do you also feel like they are just like zombies walking around? ...hmm, maybe it's just me.
Sure, I have an mp3 player, but I barely use it. For example, I use it when I jog or when I take a trip…I’ll be on a plane next week, and I’ll definitely be taking it with me. Even then, I could be making conversation with people seated around me. The unfortunate circumstances are that not everyone perceives every opportunity as one in which they can excel and grow. Life truly is a game, and too many people fall victims to regret, and don’t take the chances right in front of them.
It’s like, if you’re one of those guys who walks around with his iPod all day at school, and complains that you don’t meet women, and wonder where to meet them…there is your problem. Here's a little secret...if you open your eyes, WOMEN ARE EVERYWHERE.
