Hyper-Connectivity vs. Depth: What Makes a True Friend?

Summary

This discussion at FriendZone | Make Friends ⋅ Fun Chill Active Chat ⋅ VC Social Gaming ⋅ Memes ⋅ Nitro Emojis ⋅ Anime explores the paradox of modern hyper-connectivity. Community members debate whether global access to people has diminished the quality of our relationships and the importance of setting boundaries. It is a thought-provoking look at whether we should prioritize deep, meaningful connections over having a large network of acquaintances in an increasingly digital world.

quickbadger-36 OP

so now that anyone can reach anyone on any side of the world, are we satisfied, or that wasn't the problem (distance)to begin with in the very beginning

snowyorange-96

Life

quickbadger-36 OP

That's a complex answer

quickbadger-36 OP

Can you water it down

snowyorange-96

I can say its life

snowyorange-96

Thats whats wrong

quickbadger-36 OP

More confused

snowyorange-96

Ask chatgto

snowyorange-96

quickbadger-36 OP

snowyorange-96

Its fine its js damn early rn

snowyorange-96

And had used my brain to much yesterday

snowyorange-96

For takes

quickbadger-36 OP

I guess I will have to wait till you power up then

snowyorange-96

Taking time

quickbadger-36 OP

I will wait

rustyvalley-83

Distance was not the issue, connectivity was

quickbadger-36 OP

So are we okay with it this way or we don't want to fix it

quickbadger-36 OP

Also I don't think we were ever meant to know alot of people (too much connection isn't connection)

snowyorange-96

Actually its life and control and manipulation

snowyorange-96

Thats whats wrong

grandquiver-69

What's wrong is people love to mess things up as always

quickbadger-36 OP

Is that a gud thing?

quickbadger-36 OP

Hmm. All of us do that?

grandquiver-69

Well no, messing stuff up isn't good

grandquiver-69

Making mistakes is fine tho

quickbadger-36 OP

Yet we do it

quickbadger-36 OP

Would you rather be able to talk to anyone in the world or just have the ablity to talk to 5 people (I don't mean like inability to speak, more like connection)

quickbadger-36 OP

Which do we actually want, hyper-connectivity or depth?

grandquiver-69

Well u can have both in a world like this, ppl u can speak to in depth and others u just meet randomly

rustyvalley-83

Life was not desinged to have everyone talk to everyone

rustyvalley-83

Social media defiled true essence of life

quickbadger-36 OP

I guess so, yet we are not okay with having both in a way

rustyvalley-83

Would it be okay to tell people they are only aquintance and not close friends?

quickbadger-36 OP

Yeah. It helps show boundaries

rustyvalley-83

Exactly

rustyvalley-83

I would rather have 1 solid friend through my life time then 50 friends

quickbadger-36 OP

That would also require you to have a definition of what a friend is

quickbadger-36 OP

Which I unfortunately attached to basically anyone I talk to

quickbadger-36 OP

Wow, wouldn't that be a burden on the 1 person?

rustyvalley-83

Wont be if the one person also has the same opinion

quickbadger-36 OP

Hmm. Most people do struggle to be on the same page

quickbadger-36 OP

Anything wrong with people

quickbadger-36 OP

We are all people

grandquiver-69

Yes, people r the ones who caused issues all the time

grandquiver-69

Huh

snowyorange-96

Hm good quesrion

snowyorange-96

What is a contributor role

snowyorange-96

So why u tell everyone to get that rome
