    As a 64 year old I have observed the younger generations verbal communication skills. I have been appalled and noticed especially amongst young women , their inability to barely string sentence’s together or respond easily to conversation or questions about topics or questions that are not even difficult to answer . Not even the ability to even understand a basic question. Inability to instigate a conversation and appalling listening skills. Women have been the ones mainly affected . This is the mental damage done by social media. Facts.

    I agree 100%. I have dramatically cut back on social media since about October last year. The only social media I consume now is for my personal hobbies in private facebook groups so I can ask questions, offer advice to others and see what new releases are coming up. Often hidden releases not offered to the general public. That's it!

    I blocked everyone I added on Instagram, how to know if people don't really like you or wishing on your downfall. 1. They watch your content, your videos, stories, reels, they see everything but don't like or comment. 2 they never message you or reach out to you to see if you are doing well even if you reached out to them a few times before. 3 if they leave you on read male or female doesn't matter.

    Or else, All my guy friends wanted me to download chatting apps, so they could "chat" me up, rather than phone me up and have a real conversation, and God Forbid, I say, "Let's grab a coffee??" And they would get indignant, like I had asked them for a kidney or some other major organ ...
    DOUCHEBAGS, every last one of them. Which is why, today, I have no friends, because I have "standards !!"
    Social Media, in the end, is the rotting of ones brain, that ends up with You - Hating Yourself !! That's what happened to me. So I dumped them all ...

    I have limited my FB use and never had tick tock or Instagram. I just focus on my own life I don't even want to talk to others and feel guilty for that but I just see it as pointless all that time talking about nothing could be time on my grind. I've realised recently you need to do rather than tell ie don't say to people your going to be on FB or on phone less but actually do it. They don't listen to what you say but will notice what you do they they will say why ya not talking to witch ya can say Ive already explained why. If your not getting anything from an interaction it's best to walk away even if it's family.

    Socializing has become so draining to me and social media is easier to dose and feels like a safer distance. But I know what you mean and agree. It is no real connection.
    I only compare myself to the version of myself I would like to be. I have never felt the need to compare to others. Maybe that is one reason I never entered social media like Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat or things like that. It just didn't interest me enough.

    GTA San Andreas was my go-to for the loneliest stretches of my life for years. A brief dalliance with Facebook was replaced by youtube. It was actually Twitch that made me realize how much time i spent on youtube after work. I followed a guitar player in Canada on a half-hour stream. The next day, he did a nine-hour stream playing guitar and smoking bongs and i caught the last half hour. I unfollowed him. What kind of person can sit in a seat looking at a screen for nine hours if it's not their job to do so? At the time i was subbed to many channels, but their videos added up to eight hours. How much money would i have right now if i'd been doing an online job, rather than watching someone else doing their online job?

    SCG, maybe your course could teach guys to make money out of their online or social media addiction. You can ask them how much money they made watching youtube videos today or watching Twitch streams. When the answer is zero, you could funnel that time and energy into something that actually benefits them. If i could afford to fly to Italy for a real pizza, i would.

    Socializing went downhill. I like drinking at the bar, but those drinks are expensive. I like to consume a bit of cannabis, but no smoking allowed or ppl judging you. All ppl talk about is work. They're just trying to figure out are you rich or poor? Everyone stares at their phones, can't listen. Not to mention everyone is judging you based off how tall you are, what clothes you wear, and what car you drive.
