Wondering if in this world of virtual connections, are we loosing on the man-to-man touch?
Now a days, a 'Hi' on Facebook has replaced extensive plans of trying to meet your friends and loved ones.. A means to stay in touch or is it just an illusion to console self that we have hundreds and thousands of friends who we talk to once in a while [though I don't count these occasional 'Hi's' and forced chats as any kind of conversation, until both the parties are equally enthusiastic and willing].. Whatever the case may be, people ask about your email id so that they can keep in touch with you on Facebook..
I sometimes feel like deleting a few contacts that I added just not to hurt their egos, [come on, we all know how we are somehow forced by a force that makes us add the Not-so Friendly Jack, the Authoritative-Senior, the Dumb-Junior, the Trashy-B***h in class that you hate so much, but you accept all their friend requests because either you want to test how much of them can you bear in life, as if you were out to see the compatibility for a prospective marriage or you are so kind not to press the ignore button or sometimes just to avoid a scene and unnecessary fuss that would be generated as you aren't interested in being friendly and are very unsocial and barbaric person who wants to live alone.. And yes, you would see those Over-friendly people that stalk you in the real as well virtual world..
The biggest problem generated I feel is the race of 'PSYCHO BOYS' that are telling you how troubled they are, how they want to end their lives and how you girl are their saviors, what I wonder is why don't they let a boy be their savior.. Are we girls any better at wiping tears and blowing their noses? They are emotional parasites and I would advice all you people out their to evade their kind..!! There is also a breed of 'CRYING BABES' who are troubled and would try to capitalize the generous guys out their whoever lends an ear.. So take care, and stop being their Agony aunts.. Just show them the door because more often than not, they are faking it and dwelling on the softer side of you that is empathic and you stress yourself wondering if they are fine and they just go on and on about how miserable they are with a smile [remember, you can't see them as they write 'SOBBING']..
So as we discover the potential threats and problems that this social network is bringing with it, we'll continue to pretend being social and friendly.. ;)
