[QUOTE="Delta, post: 1241036, member: 10959"] This. Humans are designed to exist in tight-knit communities where no one has a thousand fake ass "friends," but the friends they do have are like family and truly loyal. Modern life has very little sense of community, and that goes 10X for these travel junkie types you often find in places like NYC. They have all these 'friends' scattered around the country or even the globe, but have no idea who their neighbors are and barely associate or bond with their coworkers. Their main form of face-to-face socialization is the 2 hour long lunch date they spend 2 weeks planning with their friend who lives on the opposite coast. Their social life is just endless complication. Zero chance for spontaneity, zero chance for any truly close bonds or any sense of tribal belonging. It's a lifestyle that optimizes appearing happy and successful and adventurous on social media, but if you look deeper than the staged photos in front of the Cambodian temples, it seems like a miserable existence.
