Why is it that humans have become so isolated from each other?

Question

Is sharing a feeling or sentiment such a hard thing to do?
Do you feel that to talk to someone you must step on eggs and try not to brake them?

Answer 1

Life has become one big fast train, I'm suprised people even find time to go to the bathroom! I really think kids today find life so difficult because of the fast pace living so many have gotten so accustomed too!

It seems to me that Money, Greed and Crime has taken over the Olden days way of living! People today don't have the faintise idea of money value today, they just spend,spend,and spend! What bothers me the most, is they'll complain like hell about prices today, but yet buy the high buck stuff anyway!!!!

And then you have the one's that just buy, and don't care about price! they just want it! I noticed in the last 10 years, that strangers are very hard to get a conversation going with!

And if you do get them to say anything, it's just a few words! Maybe that's why the world is so out of control, Everyone is just living as fast as they can, and they don't stop and take a little time to really enjoy life! They'd rather work, work, work and spend,spend,spend! But yet ask them about the Gas prices and they blow up! But yet they don't stop all the running and driving up all the gas!

Americans are using more gas in the last 3 years then they did in the whole 10 years before the last 3 years! I think the world is heading for a complete mess, if people don't slow down and pay attention to whats going on around them and there families! There are so many people that are just grumpy all the time, and don't care about anything unless it concerns there pocket book!

It really worries me about how the next generation is going to handle there new life's as adults, hopefully they'll think differently then there parents and try to live a more relaxed and slower paced life then what there parents seemed to have gotten caught up in for years!

The days of taking time to smell the roses, I think are long gone. It seems family life has taken a turn in that direction too! It's a shame the grown ups today think money is life! It's the kids that suffer the worse, there either grown up as spoiled brats, or they get left on the side lines! The years of the 50's and 60's and some of the 70's were the real family way of living!

And I hate to say it, but them good old days are not only gone, but a past that needs to be added back to today's way of life!

1. We are all too selfish. We are too busy thinking about ourselves to seriously consider others.

2. Each society has rules and attitudes that discourage talking about or acting out certain things. Some are reasonable, some aren't. People have a mob mentality, you either go with the flow or get left out.

3. Life has become so complicated and people are taking on far too much and in turn dove loping stress problems.

Answer 3

thoroughly relies upon what timescale you're talking approximately extremely. Genetically, human beings are honestly all very comparable inspite of all our distinctive finding races. A inhabitants bottleneck in our evolutionary historic past meant that one and all all human beings is descended from a small team of survivors, and consequently are genetically very comparable. which ability it may take an quite long term for adequate divergence between races to bring about them being separate species. yet whilst adequate time exceeded, and that they have got been living in environments that brought about distinctive races to evolve in distinctive guidelines, then theoretically sure they could finally become distinctive species. possibly after tens of millions of years a minimum of. this is the final answer i components on the difficulty :)

Answer 4

It is this country. And yes, a sad commentary it is.
There are other places on the planet that nurture human connection, embrace it, thrive on it.
They may be poor in wealth, but rich in what matters.
The U.S. has gotten very cold, repressed, and fear based as a society. Where do you live that you feel this way?

Answer 5

it's all a matter of values.

peoples' priorities are not the same as past generations. of course, conditions are not the same either. the old ways, where it required many people to accomplish things, promoted social activity. there was a sense of need for each other.
these days, with technology and automation, we seem to be more independent and self sufficient........anti-social, if you will.

Answer 6

Yeah I know what you mean. Society as a whole is so obsessed with lawsuits, they no longer feel the need to try and get along.

Answer 7

Nah. That's just a problem with young folk.

In your 20's you worry about what everyone thinks of you.
Inyour 40's you don't care what anyone thinks about you.
In your 60's, you realize, no one was ever thinking about you anyway.

I'm in my 40's. I walk hard and don't worry about egg shells.

Answer 8

Sub-culture, especially television and video games. Cellphones and SMS as well. People don't talk anymore.
