No one online seems to want to talk at all. People in my age seem to lose the ability to talk.

What happens if we all forget how to have a deep or entertaining conversations?

    People don’t talk any more because they have stopped listening.

    They just want to tell their opinion and don’t care about what opinion others have or even consider their angles

        It’s not meant to be easy! It’s actually best when it’s challenging and thought provoking

        Any criticism, or insult or demeaning action I get, I try to swallow my pride and check if it’s justified. It sometimes is! If it’s not, I let it slide and try to keep on.

        That said, tone and respect is important but not always reciprocal and at some point it may be best to not pursue a meaningful discussion

        In my experience though, this is rarely the case!

          very little content is challenging or thought provoking. most people desperately avoid anything like that. in a thread of 500 comments, maybe 5 will be interesting or worthwhile. the other 495 will be jokes, dogpiling or people self-aggrandizing themselves about what genius they are because they agree x is bad and y is good.

      100% this, and so efficiently said. It would have taken me paragraphs to arrive at that same conclusion! Well done!
