>>1603Don't people get boring after a while though? I mean, intimacy and close friendships are nice and all, but you need space every now and then. Like here and in other online spaces we can jump in and leave whenever we want, discuss a variety of topics at our own pace, but IRL we might have to put up with each other even though we might get bored of it. I feel like media and other artistic mediums create a very romanticized image of social life and relationships even though we might forget that there has to be a primary reason that we gravitated away from them in our formative years (considering from the replies here), either they weren't up to mark in terms of quality or we had a very low attention span to keep up with it, can't say; but something much more interesting i.e. the internet and its derivatives, much larger in scale and variety kept us hooked and interested for all that time.
Maybe just our perspective as 'nerds' as they call it in popular terms. I wonder how people who are well adjusted in life aka 'normies' would look at this issue. Do they regret their early life years too?
